Baked Parmesan Chicken

chicken breast
italian bread crumbs
shredded parmesan cheese
shredded mozzarella cheese
sliced provolone cheese
egg
flour
salt
pepper


mix bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in a chopper so it is finely mixed together place on a plate. mix flour with salt and pepper, and put on a plate. (I put about 1 tsp of each for every 1/2 cup of flour. Mix enough to coat all of your chicken breasts.)
Beat eggs and add a Tablespoon of water per egg, put in a dish.

Take chicken breast and pound them so they are flat (about 1/2" thick)
Dip the chicken in the flour mix, then egg, and coat with breading.

Once the chicken is coated, lay the provolone cheese on top and sprinkle with the mozzarella. Roll up the chicken so the cheese is on the inside and place in a baking dish. ( I use olive oil and grease a glass dish)
After placing all chicken in the dish, I sprinkle the top with both mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Bake chicken at 400 for 35 minutes or until cooked throughout.

I like to serve this with spaghetti with sauce as a side.

Easy CHicken Teriaki

Chicken breasts
Yoshida's teriaki marinaid
Bag frozen vegis
Rice

Start rice. I have a rice cooker so mine takes 15 min. Time it to finish same time as chicken. Cut Chicken into chunks or stripes, however you like it. Cook untill almost done. Drissel with teriaki sause. Add frozen vegis. I like the stir fry blend. Cook until vegis are done. Top rice with chicken and vegis. 15 minute dinner.

Italian Pasta Cassarol

Boil Shell noodles in separat pan cook chunks of chicken in italian dressing. When chicken is alsmost done add vegitables. I like peppers onions zuccini squash and broccoli. Cook untill you like your vegis. Strain noodles. Add noodles to chicken and vegis. Add more Italian stir together. Top with bacon bits and cheese. I like mozzarelle and cheddar mix. It totally depends on how many people are eating as to how much to make. I never mesure anything. The bacon adds the finishing touch. As Linny says its the "Candy of Meets"

Taco Soup

1 can diced tomatoes
1 can kidney beans
1-2 cups water
Cheddar cheese (optional)

Cook ground beef with seasoning and onion. Add other ingredients, simmer until hot. Serve with tortilla chips and shredded cheese on top.

Chicken Pillows

Karli just called me for this recipe, which is really Lisa's I think, but Karli is too busy to use the computer she says. I am posting it anyways to inspire you to want to post your own dinner recipe, because that is what I need, a new idea.

Chicken-cooked and chopped
Green onions-chopped
celery-chopped
Cream cheese
Crescent rolls

You can use whatever portions you want, I like a lot of celery, but I doubt so many people do. Mix it on up and wrap a crescent roll around it and bake. Serve with white rice and cream of chicken soup.

Caramel Filled Brownies

This is something Tracy wants me to make, so I am posting it here so I don't forget.

1 cup whole pecans
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips or chopped up chocolate
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 ½ cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14 oz) bag of caramels
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or more if you like)


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place pecans on a cookie sheet and toast for 7-9 minutes or until aromatic. Let cool. When cool, chop. Use good pecans.

Meanwhile, line a 13x9 inch pan with Release foil or parchment paper. You could also just line with foil and spray the foil. Make sure to spray the sides so the caramel won’t stick to the sides.

Place chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and repeat until smooth. Let cool for about 5 minutes. While chocolate cools, in a separate bowl beat sugar and eggs on high speed of an electric mixer for 3 entire minutes. Beat in vanilla. Stir chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Using a mixing spoon or wire whisk, stir in flour and salt. Pour about half of this batter into the lined pan and bake for 20 minutes.

Cool for 20 minutes. While first layer cools, prepare filling.

Unwrap caramels and put them in a saucepan with the 1/3 cup of cream. Heat on medium low, stirring often, until caramels are melted. Stir about half of the chopped pecans into the caramel. Pour the caramel mixture over the brownie layer.

Texas Sheet Cake

This recipe is from someone in my ward, so I don't know if mom's differs a bit:

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup water
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla

Mix together flour and sugar; set aside. Bring to boil butter, cocoa, and water. Pour over flour mixture. Blend buttermilk, soda, eggs and vanilla. Pour into 18x12 pan, greased and floured. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Frosting
1 stick melted butter
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 box + 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Bring butter, cocoa, and buttermilk to a boil. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and mix with mixer. Frost cake 15 minutes after removing it from the oven.

May I request?

I wouln't mind seeing a recipe for texas sheet cake and the mint chocolate cake

Orange Chicken

Put a rack int he middle of the oven and heat it at 375
Get around 3 pounds of chicken rinse it and pat it dry
Smear the skin with Dijon Mustard
Put the chicken skin side down in a shallow pan with enough room to hold it in a single layer. Sprinkle it with:
1/2 cup fine chopped onion
2 tablespoon butter (they say unsaltted but be real!)
Salt and pepper
Pour around the chicken:
1 1/2 cups orange juice
Bake basting it at least once for 30 mins. Turn the chicken and sprinkle with:

Take the chicken out and pour the juice into a saucepan and heat it at high till it gets thick and pour it over the chicken.
Tastes great with rice.
