Pineapple Chicken

-
On a bit of a whim, I ordered 30 pounds of chicken.  That's right.  30 pounds.  I was looking through blogs for chicken recipes when I found someone's mention of Zycon Foods.  It sounded great.  For less than $2 per pound I could have fresh, never frozen, hormone free chicken delivered straight from a local farmer.  The best part is that it was delivered right to the church I would be at on delivery night!  How could I pass it up.  Well, I should have planned a bit better than I did....upon delivery, I had to figure out what to do with all this chicken.  I had been searching for about the week before delivery, but had not come up with a concrete plan of recipes.  So, in a bit of a frenzy, this is one that I found.  I made two batches of it.  The first I cooked on the stove top by pan frying.  The second, I baked after covering in panko crumbs.  The fact that I feel like I am going to explode and that my girls asked for thirds, I think the second method was a hit.  This recipe is for sure a keeper.  Next Zycon delivery, this is on the plan!

2 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c soy sauce
1 c pineapple juice
1 c ketchup
1/4 c red wine vinegar
2 T mustard
6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2-16 oz cans crushed pineapple tidbits, juice used above

Mix the marinade, sugar through mustard.  Split chicken between two ziploc bags.  Pour marinade evenly over each bag of chicken.  Send to the freezer until cooking time. 
To cook:  Heat oven to 400 degrees Cut chicken into strips and roll into panko crumbs.  Place in pan and bake for about 45 minutes, or until cooked all the way through and browned.  While chicken is in the oven, place remaining marinade from the bag into a sauce pan.  Cook on low while the chicken is in the oven, stirring frequently.  Sauce should thicken after about 30-45 minutes.  serve as a dipping sauce on the side.

Swiss Chicken Casserole

This was an  easy & tasty casserole, My girls also loved it, which makes it a win win!  I served it with green beans and buttermilk biscuits, which was a great combination.  I have to admit that I forgot to buy the cream of chicken so I had to use the cream of mushroom that I had in the pantry.  I think it was still great!  6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 6 slices Swiss cheese 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 cup milk 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix          (Pepperidge Farm Herb Blend is good) 1/4 cup butter Preheat oven to 350.  Arrange chicken in 12x8x2 baking dish.  Top with Swiss cheese slices.  Combine soup and milk and stir well.  Spoon mixture over chicken and sprinkle with stuffing mix.  Drizzle butter or margarine over crumbs.  Bake for 50 minutes and enjoy!

Moravian Chicken Pie

Chicken pie is a hands down favorite in my house.  We never have to tell the girls to finish their dinner.  This is one of those rare meals that we can all enjoy and eat in peace!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.  A few variations that we have done...my husband loves to include vegetables in every meal so he enjoys vegetables on top of the chicken.  It is good too, but i prefer the plain and then have the veggies on the side.  It is also good with mashed potatoes on the side.  I also always serve a side of chicken gravy. Pie Crust (if you dare it is delicious but the store bought is always quicker) 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup shortening 6 -8 tablespoons cold water Filling 2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground pepper 3 tablespoons flour 1 cup chicken broth 1 -2 tablespoon butter, cut in pieces (optional) Crumb Topping 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon butter For Pie Crust, combine flour and salt in a
