Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Breasts

From Rachael Ray's 365: No Repeats - #267



Ingredients:
boneless, skinless chx breasts
Pretzels
thyme
pepper
eggs
vegetable oil

Comments:
I've made this a couple times before but I've never taken a picture so I could post it. Obviously we like this one. The original recipe has a cheddar mustard sauce that goes with it. It was good, but didn't store well so we don't make it anymore. The chicken is great without it anyway.

Chicken, Biscuits 'n' Gravy Casserole

From Everyday with Rachael Ray April/May 2006



Ingredients:
one chicken (cooked)
butter
mushrooms (I omitted since I don't like them)
onion
celery
flour
chicken broth
milk
lemon juice
garlic
biscuit mix
cheddar cheese

Comments: This recipe is pretty simple. You make a gravy-ish sauce to pour over the chicken and bake the biscuits on top of it. It tasted good. The cheese in the biscuit mix definately added something different. But in a good way.

Spaghetti with Mozzarella-Stuffed Meatballs

From Everyday with Rachael Ray April/May 2006



Ingredients:
bread crumbs
milk
EVOO
garlic
crushed tomatoes
ground sirloin
parsley
parmigiano-reggiano
an egg
mozzarella cheese
spaghetti

Comments: This was kind of fun to make. The meatballs involved smooshing a cube of cheese into a ball of the hamburger. Messy, but fun (in my opinion anyway, but I might be weird.) I managed to get only one spot of sauce on my khaki colored pants. Not bad. The meatballs and light sauce went well with the pasta. It re-heated pretty well for lunch today as well. :)

Turkey Mini-Burgers with Warm Potato Salad

From Everyday with Rachael Ray April/May 2006



Ingredients:
red potatoes
salt
ground turkey
bread crumbs
an egg
sage
EVOO
white wine vinegar
chives
dinner rolls

Comments: This is the first recipe I've tried out of the new magazine that Ms. Ray came out with. It was definately a success. The potato salad had a great zing from the vinegar and the burgers were smooth and juicy (and good for you too since they were turkey.) As Adam said, "Definitely a keeper."
