thoughts

if you like cheese and broccoli, you will like this. this is yummy yummy. we even put onions in it!! one addition we discussed for a future making of this is the addition of ritz crackers--soon enough that they become slightly softened, but not so soon that they get soggy.

chicken l'orange

recipe

2 whole chicken breasts, split, skinned, and boned
2 T butter
2 tsp cornstarch
1/3 c orange juice
1/3 c heinz 57 sauce
1/4 c orange marmalade
slivered toasted almonds

method

in skillet, slowly sauté chicken in butter 8-10 minutes; remove and set aside. mix cornstarch and juice, stir in 57 sauce and marmalade. pour into skillet; heat, stirring until thickened. place chicken in sauce; heat. serve garnished with almonds. makes 4 servings.

thoughts

we found the chicken didn't cook in the time specified in the recipe, so we threw it in the oven to finish it off. simple to make, so it's a good sunday dinner without too much effort. according to megan, the sauce from this should be mixed with the casserole II. also, to avoid people getting embarrassed like someone *coughczakocough*, the 57 sauce is ketchup.
