Cranberry Chicken

A very long time ago, I was watching "Regis and KathyLee."

That tells you just how long ago "a very long time ago" was . . .

Kathy Lee gave a recipe for a chicken dish.

It's so very easy!

You can cook it in the oven or the crock-pot.

You can use bone-in or boneless and skinless chicken.

You can use full-fat dressing or reduced-fat dressing, without compromising the taste.

Best of all, it's great left-over!

While you're grabbing the ingredients for this recipe, grab double; cook one now and put the other (all mixed up) in the freezer for another meal! Make it easy on yourself!

Cranberry Chicken

8oz bottle of Catalina dressing (or Russian)
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
1 can whole-berry cranberry sauce
4 chicken breasts (I like to use bone-in with skin)

Place the chicken in a baking dish or crock-pot. Mix the dressing, soup, and cranberry sauce together and pour over the chicken.

Oven method: bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.

Crock-pot method: cook on high 3-4 hours, or on low 6-8 hours. Once the chicken is cooked, I take the chicken out, remove the skin and bone, and using 2 forks, shred the chicken and place it back in the crock-pot with the sauce. We also like the sauce a little thicker, so I add a bit of cornstarch at the end to make it more like a "gravy" rather than runny sauce.

Serve with rice.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
