Oh my this was so so so so so good.... YUMMY!!!


Chicken Parmigiana

Served with" Garlic Cheese Toast & Salad

from: The Pioneer Woman - you must visit her blogs if you haven't already..

Servings: 6
Ingredients

* 4 whole (up To 6) Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Trimmed And Pounded Flat
* ½ cups All-purpose Flour
* Salt And Pepper, to taste
* ½ cups Olive Oil
* 2 Tablespoons Butter
* 1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
* 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
* ¾ cups Wine (white Or Red Is Fine)
* 3 cans (14.5 Oz.) Crushed Tomatoes
* 2 Tablespoons Sugar
* ¼ cubes Chopped Fresh Parsley
* 1 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
* 1 pound Thin Linguine

Preparation Instructions

Mix flour, salt, and pepper together on a large plate.
Dredge flattened chicken breasts in flour mixture. Set aside.

At this time, you can start a pot of water for your pasta. Cook linguine until al dente.

Heat olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat. When butter is melted and oil/butter mixture is hot, fry chicken breasts until nice and golden brown on each side, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Remove chicken breasts from the skillet and keep warm.

Without cleaning skillet, add onions and garlic and gently stir for 2 minutes. Pour in wine and scrape the bottom of the pan, getting all the flavorful bits off the bottom. Allow wine to cook down until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
Pour in crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Add sugar and more salt and pepper to taste. Allow to cook for 30 minutes. Toward the end of cooking time, add chopped parsley and give sauce a final stir.

Carefully lay chicken breasts on top of the sauce and completely cover them in grated Parmesan. Place lid on skillet and reduce heat to low. Allow to simmer until cheese is melted and chicken is thoroughly heated. Add more cheese to taste.

Place cooked noodles on a plate and cover with sauce. Place chicken breast on top and sprinkle with more parsley. Serve immediately.

Hamburger Corn Casserole

I don't remember where I got this recipe from. It was good and Jake said it would be great burrito filling which I agreed with! It was frugal and easy! It was like other recipes I've tried. But I'll keep it for future use!

Jeanne’s Sloppy Joe’s

I like trying the recipes from the Dougars because I know they are cost friendly as well as child friendly. I made this for dinner Friday night. I loved this recipe because it was so quick to make it was almost like I didn't cook at all. The liquid smoke makes this so yummy! I'll make this one again someday!
