Swiss Chicken

Hey Girls! So I love to cook, but haven't figured out what to post yet. Then after last night, it dawned on me I don't have to post any of my 'fancy' recipes but even the simple ones work! I fixed this last night and this is one of my favorite dishes not only b/c its easy but its so yummy!!! And for your mommies, it might even be kid friendly :). It's so basic and easy I'm almost embarrassed to post it but I assure you its good!

Swiss Chicken

4 boneless,skinless chicken breasts
2/3 c pepperidge farm stuffing
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 c melted margarine
1/4 c milk
4-6 slices of swiss cheese
Garlic salt
Pepper (I use the Lady's House seasoning by Paula Deen. It's salt, pepper and garlic powder all in one, I make it and put it in a container by my stove, use it ALL the time to season things)

Place the chicken in a greased 9x13 dish. Sprinkle w/ Garlic salt and pepper (to taste)
Place a piece of swiss cheese on each chicken breast (may take a slice and 1/2 , up to you!)
Set aside
Mix soup and milk together and pour over chicken
Top w/ stuffing and drizzle melted butter on top!
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes

Its so easy and yummy! Always turns out to be favorite!
Serve w/ a salad or green beans and a starch. :)

BON APPETITE!

Toasted Almond Chicken

There is another one of my favorites from Easy Weeknight Favorites... This will taste very rich and fancy but is SO simple!

Toasted Almond Chicken
Prep: 10 min. Cook: 16 min.

6 skinless/boneless chicken breast halves
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1 1/2 cups whipping cream (I know... not healthy but YUMMY!)
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (I use about 4 because I like a strong mustard flavor)
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 (2.25oz) package sliced almonds, toasted (I usually don't toast them... I just throw them in to save time)


Place chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4 inch thickness (I never do this... I just cook the chicken a little longer), Sprinkle with salt and pepper

Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of chicken from skillet. Repeat procedure with remaining butter and chicken.

Reduce heat to medium; add whipping cream and next 3 ingredients to skillet, stirring well. Add chicken; sprinkle with almonds, and cook 8 minutes or until sauce thickens. Yields 6

* I like to serve with sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes and green beans
