Marinated Chicken Breasts

5 - 6 chicken breasts, bone in

1 bottle Zesty Italian Salad Dressing

Place chicken in large ziplock bag. Pour Italian dressing over chicken in bag. Add enough water to cover. Seal well and refrigerate overnight.

These breasts are wonderful cooked over indirect heat on the grill, turn often and baste with leftover marinade. Can also be sauteed in a few tablespoons of butter in skillet on top of stove. Brown well in butter over medium heat, add about 1/4 c. of marinade, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Italian salad dressing is the marinade for the chicken in this simple and elegant main dish recipe.

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Italian salad dressing

1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning mix

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

16 ounce jar alfredo sauce

10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained

2 Tbsp. olive oil

12 oz. cooked fettuccine

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Mix dressing and Italian seasoning in large glass bowl. Add chicken breasts, turning to coat, and cover. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Combine alfredo sauce with spinach in medium bowl. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade, and cook chicken in oil 7-10 minutes, turning once, until thoroughly cooked. Add alfredo sauce mixture. Cook until bubbly. Serve over cooked and drained fettuccine and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serves 4

You can make these on stover top.....hot plate...or crock pot:

COLA CHICKEN

(And more variations of recipe…my preference…wings or ribs)

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1 cup catsup

1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)

Put chicken in a non-stick pan.

Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.

Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.

(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from sticking to pan)

Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce

becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.

It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!

You can double the recipe and use more pieces of

chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto "Hot Wings"!

I have used Ribs, just as good.

I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally

as good...served over rice.

I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small jar of Salsa (any variety).

I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).

You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be messed up....wouldn't you??

Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe

using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my

husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed Salsa & Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out the catsup) & Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might be a little sweeter than some of you like.

I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)

but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for "HOT") Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).

Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.

Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the

catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!

Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that

great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.

Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see

myself making this again.

Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as

good over noodles.

Try little cocktail wieners/sausages…for appetizers.

Pork chops…porksteaks.

Mushroom Chicken

4 boneless/skinless chicken breast (or any pieces you like)

1 can cream of mushroom soup.

1 can water

Place chicken in crock pot (or sauce pan for stove top cooking)

mix soup & 1 can of water together

pour over chicken

cook on medium heat until boiling then reduce heat and cook until chicken is really tender & falling apart.

Serve over noodles or rice or dressing....or???

you can cut it into strips and coat it with flour, salt, and pepper and fry the strips for chicken tenders. If you have a small electric grill you can grill the strips with whatever seasoning you like. If you want to cook the chicken whole, put a little oil in a small pan and saute it with some chopped garlic and onion, salt and pepper. Brown on both sides and then put a lid on it and cook on low for about 40 minutes. You can bread it with flour and fry it if you want to use more oil.
