			<description><![CDATA[Saw a recipe for this online and then decided to make my own version of it below.<br />
These are so easy to make it's disgusting. <img src="https://twitchinkitchen.com/images/smilies/smile1.gif" alt="Smile1" title="Smile1" class="smilie smilie_13" /> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u">Guacamole Stuffed Chicken</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Ingredients:</span><ul class="mycode_list">
</li>
<li>chicken breasts, pounded thin<br />
</li>
<li>guacamole<br />
</li>
<li>salt &amp; pepper to taste<br />
</li>
<li>*optional* bacon to wrap<br />
</li>
<li>little bit of olive oil<br />
</li></ul>
<br />
Pound the chicken nice and thin.<br />
Season one side with salt &amp; pepper and put about a tablespoon or so into each breast, roll up and then wrap with bacon.<br />
If you're not using bacon and they won't stay put, simply stick toothpicks in them until you're satisfied.<br />
Season the outside with salt &amp; pepper if you're not using bacon.<br />
<br />
Heat your pan and then put some oil in there. Not much, just enough to keep the food from sticking.<br />
*if you're using bacon no oil is needed!*<br />
Sear those things up nice and fast and let them get a little golden brown on all sides. <br />
*if using bacon, sear them until ALL the bacon is crispy and holding them together.<br />
Lower the heat the heat to a simmer and cover until there is no pink left inside.<br />
<br />
You may see some guacamole escaping, but that's OK!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u">TIP: when you put these in the pan, any version, put them "seam" side down to keep them tight and sealed fast. </span></span></span><br />

			<title><![CDATA[Pear, horseradish cheddar grilled cheese]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[I might need to dedicate a whole section just for sandwiches. Sandwiches are just about perfect because they are a meal you can hold in one hand and eat.<br />
<br />
We went out to one of our favorite clubs and they had Pear and Pepper Jack on sourdough grilled cheese on the menu. Well, they were OK but I can definitely improve on this and I most certainly did! We can't get enough of this. <br />
<br />
This is NOT low calorie, but it's not too terrible if you only eat one at dinner if you're counting calories. Yeah... like that's going to happen.<br />
You want the brown Bosc pears for this because they have a bit of a spicy flavor to them.<br />
<br />
This recipe is for 2 sandwiches.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u">Pear, horseradish cheddar on sourdough</span></span><br />
<ul class="mycode_list">
</li>
<li>Sourdough bread. Slice thickness is your preference<br />
</li>
<li>Butter, light butter, butter with olive oil - again, your preference<br />
</li>
<li>One Bosc pear, peeled and sliced<br />
</li>
<li>Nutmeg<br />
</li>
<li>salt<br />
</li>
<li>Horseradish cheddar OR Pepper Jack cheese<br />
</li></ul>
<br />
Peel the pear and slice it and set aside for a minute.<br />
Heat a saute pan and throw in the butter. <br />
Sprinkle that melted butter with a very small bit of the nutmeg and swirl it around, count to 5 and then start putting the pears in the pan.<br />
Let these saute until they start to soften and LIGHTLY salt the tops while they are sauteing.<br />
Turn them and let them saute some more. <br />
Let them caramelize around the edges! That's the best part.  <img src="https://twitchinkitchen.com/images/smilies/awink.gif" alt="Awink" title="Awink" class="smilie smilie_12" /> <br />

<!-- end: postbit_attachments_attachment --><br />
<br />
Take them off the heat and put on paper to drain. Try to use brown paper as it absorbs without letting the pears stick. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now in a new clean pan, prepare your sandwiches. Normally you would butter the outside of the bread but take a brush and use that leftover, spiced butter you just took those pears out of! OMG can you taste that yet?<br />
<br />
Layer, cheese, pears, cheese and put the top on.<br />
Put these in the new, clean pan and make your sandwiches to your preferred level of toasty.<br />
<br />
Serve with soup if you want.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Variation/s:</span> <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">use fresh avocado instead of pears.<br />
use pepper jack cheese instead of horseradish cheddar.</span><br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">I can't even begin to describe just how much I'm enjoying chicken sausage instead of the usual pork for my Italian cooking and other meals!</span> <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">It cooks up so fast, even, low in calories and contrary to what anyone says, it tastes delicious. Not the same, just delicious. </span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">These low calorie meals you see me making are becoming a big staple in my house now that I've started eating healthier. They are LOW in calories so you can really fill your plate and not walk away from the table hungry.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Hot Italian Style Chicken Sausage &amp; Broccoli</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">serving size: </span>2 links &amp; 1 or 2 cups of broccoli<br />
<br />
Serves 4<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">calories per serving: </span>about <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">209 - </span>that's right, 209 (check calories on sausage label for the brand you use and adjust accordingly.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">ingredients:</span><ul class="mycode_list">
</li>
<li>Chicken sausage links - Italian style (seasoned) and it's up to you if you want the hot or mild flavor<br />
</li>
<li>FRESH broccoli florets (you can use frozen if absolutely necessary)<br />
</li>
<li>Garlic to taste<br />
</li>
<li>Salt &amp; pepper to taste<br />
</li>
<li>Italian seasoning herbs (those little McCormick grinders with pre-mixed herbs are perfect for this!)<br />
</li></ul>
Cook the sausage until done. <br />
While these are cooking, prepare your broccoli into bite sized chunks.<br />
Set aside and leave the "juice and grease" from them in the pan. There shouldn't be too much grease and if it looks a little dry, heat up that pan and de-glaze it a bit with some water.<br />
Throw in your broccoli florets into that pan, grind some of that spice mix on and let them steam until they start to soften.<br />
Add a little salt, pepper and garlic and stir. <br />
Add the sausages back in and simmer a little more, about 3 minutes - but don't over cook!<br />
Serve hot with a side salad.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">*options: sprinkle red pepper flakes during the last bit of simmering (about 3 minutes)<br />
Squeeze some lemon juice on for the last 3 minutes.<br />
Simmer / de-glaze with white wine with or without lemon juice. <br />
Grate some fresh Parmesan or Asiago cheese on top of each serving.</span><br />

Throw in your broccoli florets into that pan, grind some of that spice mix on and let them steam until they start to soften.<br />
Add a little salt, pepper and garlic and stir. <br />
Add the sausages back in and simmer a little more, about 3 minutes - but don't over cook!<br />
Serve hot with a side salad.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">*options: sprinkle red pepper flakes during the last bit of simmering (about 3 minutes)<br />
Squeeze some lemon juice on for the last 3 minutes.<br />
Simmer / de-glaze with white wine with or without lemon juice. <br />
Grate some fresh Parmesan or Asiago cheese on top of each serving.</span><br />

			<title><![CDATA[Spaghetti Squash Bowls]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[Spaghetti squash is a very underrated vegetable. I can't get enough of the stuff. It is easy to cook and it's a great substitute for pasta when you're cutting calories. At 42 calories per cup, (baked) how can you go wrong?<br />
<br />
This recipe is so easy to make and it's low in calories.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">ingredients:</span><br />
<ul class="mycode_list">
</li>
<li>2 chicken breast halves, boneless<br />
</li>
<li>1 whole spaghetti squash<br />
</li>
<li>1 - 2 cups mushrooms - sliced<br />
</li>
<li>1 large onion, sliced or diced ( your preference)<br />
</li>
<li>1/4 c. shredded sun dried tomatoes<br />
</li>
<li>1-2 cups ANY green veggie you prefer (broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, spinach etc)<br />
</li>
<li>drizzle of olive oil<br />
</li>
<li>salt &amp; pepper to taste<br />
</li>
<li>Italian herbs (I like those little spice grinders with a mix of herbs in there already)<br />
</li>
<li>Red pepper flakes (just a pinch)<br />
</li></ul>
<br />
Pre-heat your oven to 400º F<br />
<br />
Cut your squash in half lengthwise and take out the seeds.<br />
Brush your squash with olive oil or if you're watching calories, spray it with your favorite butter substitute spray (I use Olivio brand). <br />
Place the halves face down on a lightly oiled (or spray with PAM) baking dish.<br />
Poke holes in the skin so it vents.<br />
Let this cook about an hour or less - the skin has to be able to be pierced with a metal pick or fork easily all around. It'll be somewhat "soft".<br />
<br />
While that is cooking prepare the rest of the ingredients and when the squash is nearly done, start sauteing your chicken breast and vegetables. <br />
<br />
Season &amp; saute the chicken and put aside. Save the "juice" and throw in the onions.<br />
Saute the onions until soft and then throw in all the other ingredients and spices, salt &amp; pepper and saute on a fast, hot flame. You don't want to over do the veggies! <br />
<br />
Add the red pepper flakes for the last minute of cooking the veggies.<br />
<br />
When all is done, cut your chicken into bite sized pieces for each squash half. Set aside.<br />
Take your squash out of the oven and with a big fork, fluff up the insides so it looks like "spaghetti" and leave it in the "bowl" of skin.<br />
<br />
Add as much of the veggie mix to each bowl that you want per serving.<br />
Add the chicken.<br />
Drizzle with some olive oil, salt, pepper and if you want some asiago or parmesan cheese. <br />
<br />
Serve hot.<br />
<br />
This is a dish you can really use your imagination with. Use any veggie combo you want. Add some tomato sauce if you want as well.<br />
<br />
I'll get pictures next time I make this. I wasn't too concerned with presentation the first time I made this.<br />
I'll also try to get a calorie count for you, but you're better off trying to figure calories for yourself because of the wide variety of vegetables that you can use. I made mine with onions, asparagus, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes and the calorie count was 349.]]></description>

<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">You know, I really didn't know where to put this recipe on the board and decided it belongs here. Buffalo chicken wings are definitely an American creation and since these are based off those, I deemed them American as well.<br />
<br />
I saw this recipe on TV and thought I should give it a go. They're easy to make and they are so good!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">Buffalo Chicken Meatballs</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">makes about 30 meatballs</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">ingredients:</span><ul class="mycode_list">
</li>
<li>1 pound ground chicken<br />
</li>
<li>3 Tbsp hot sauce (NOT TABASCO)<br />
</li>
<li>1 egg<br />
</li>
<li>breadcrumbs<br />
</li>
<li>1 stalk celery, chopped fine<br />
</li>
<li>red pepper flakes<br />
</li></ul>
<br />
Chop the celery into nice fine pieces. You need to make sure they're not too big or the meatballs won't hold together well.<br />
<br />
Mix all ingredients, adding more breadcrumbs if the mixture is too loose.<br />
<br />
Make your meatballs small, like little 'poppers'. You want them small enough to eat in one or two bites. <br />
<br />
Place the meatballs on your tray and bake in a 425º F oven for 20 minutes<br />
<br />
Let cool and serve with a salad and celery can carrot sticks and a side of ranch dressing or Bleu cheese dressing (we love it with ranch).<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Twitchy's Stuffed Chicken Breasts</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Ingredients:</span><br />
<br />
4 or more boneless chicken breasts butterflied and pounded VERY thin<br />
1 package shredded whole milk mozzeralla cheese<br />
1 cup or so Italian flavored bread crumbs<br />
butter<br />
Olive oil - light for frying<br />
Good dry white wine<br />
toothpicks or string to tie up the rolls<br />
<br />
Pound out your breasts and leave aside<br />
Set up your prep area with your butter at hand <br />
breadcrumbs in a bowl<br />
cheese in a bowl<br />
<br />
Lay out your chicken breast and place a small amount of cheese, one teaspoon bread crumbs and divide up a pat of butter and then roll up. Use toothpicks or string to hold together. Roll in breadcrumbs to cover the roll.<br />
<br />
Repeat for all cutlets.<br />
<br />
put a half and half mixture of olive oil and butter in a hot frying pan. Brown all sides of the chicken rolls. Once these are all nice an brown and crispy, throw a couple of cups of the wine into the pan, use the wine to deglaze this too! It makes nice sauce!<br />
<br />
Cover fast to trap the steam and flavor and lower the heat to a slow simmer and simmer until the chicken is cooked all the way through, about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. <br />
<br />
During this process you can feel free to toss in a big fistful of mushrooms or a small can of chopped pieces of mushrooms, whatever is available at the time of year it is.<br />
<br />
I serve this with any kind of exotic rice.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Variations: <br />
Run several pieces of garlic through a garlic press and place in a dish. Use this like butter to spread on each breast filet.<br />
Add chopped sun dried tomatoes and fresh basil leaves, omit the butter and bread crumbs from the stuffing. Add the cheese. roll up and enjoy!<br />
You can also use spinach instead of basil. Remember, your only limit is your imagination!</span>]]></description>

<br />
4 chicken breasts, pounded very thin (you can stretch this to 6 if you can manage to pound them very very thin)<br />

2 lemons, to be fresh squeezed into mixture<br />
4 Tbsp butter<br />
3 cloves fresh garlic, crushed<br />
Salt and pepper to taste<br />
Cornstarch to thicken<br />
<br />
Season your flour in a nice roomy dish with sides.<br />
Put your eggs in a separate bowl and beat them well until fluffy.<br />
<br />
Pound out your chicken breasts nice and thin, then dredge in flour, then egg, then flour again and put directly each piece you do in a pan with hot melted butter. <br />
<br />
Saute all these pieces and take out and put aside. Be careful to not burn that butter as you saute!<br />
<br />
When done, drain all 'dark' butter that developed and wipe pan clean with a paper towel. Don't wipe it spotless! There's flavor in there!<br />
<br />
Melt some more butter - 4 Tbsp and add the garlic to saute for a couple of seconds then add the wine, mix as it cooks and then add salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze lemon in, taste, add more if you desire a tangy flavor to your Francaise sauce.<br />
<br />
To thicken, mix equal parts cornstarch and water until dissolved in a ramiken. ADD SLOWLY AND BY THE TEASPOON  into the sauce constantly stirring over a REALLY LOW flame. Do this one spoon at a time until it's the desired thickness you like.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">*be careful... cornstarch thickener works fast so use the one spoon at a time until you get your desired thickness or you'll have jelly instead of sauce! This sauce should be LOOSE and not too thick.</span><br />
<br />
Place chicken over pasta and ladle on the sauce. Serve with salad and fresh Italian bread. <br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">This is a basic chicken stew recipe. This can easily be converted to a pot pie or toss dumplings on the top. It's so easy and most times you have the ingredients in the house already except for the meat! It'll taste much better too!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Twitchy's Out of this World Chicken Stew</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Note:</span> all ingredients are measured by 'eye' or 'pot size'. I kind of 'wing it' when I make stew! Try to leave your pieces of food as big as possible for the best flavor but not so big you can't pop it in your mouth comfortably.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Ingredients:</span><br />
<br />
2  pounds or so of chicken meat cut into bite sized cubes<br />
3 -4 med sized potatoes, skins on, cut into big bites sized chunks (white potatoes hold up nicely without breaking down)<br />
3 Celery stalks - cut into bite size chunks<br />
4 or so carrots, washes, SKIN ON, cut into bite size chunks<br />
Two large onions<br />
Flour<br />
Butter<br />
Salt &amp; pepper<br />
Enough chicken broth (or water) to cover all ingredients and then another inch or so more extra above.<br />
chicken boullion *if you don't use stock or broth. About 6 - 8 cubes or spoonfuls<br />
Frozen peas<br />
Frozen green beans<br />
<br />
Chop and prepare all your vegetables except one onion and put them aside in a bowl.<br />
Save the frozen peas and beans until the very end.<br />
Take one of the onions and cut into slices. Put aside. <br />
Cube your meat. <br />
<br />
Take a cup of flour and put it in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. I like to use allot of pepper. The flour should look a little like it has fleas from the pepper. <br />
<br />
Toss in the meat chunks and coat each with flour lightly.<br />
<br />
Heat a BIG pot and throw in some butter or olive oil, not much, just enough to keep the meat from sticking.<br />
<br />
Toss in the meat and onion you just sliced up. Keep these moving and LIGHTLY brown the meat. You want to do this on a HOT temperature and do the browning FAST. Like wok style.<br />
Let that gunk on the bottom that builds stay there!<br />
<br />
Once the meat is brown and you got some good gunk on the bottom, take out the meat and onions and put them aside a minute.<br />
<br />
Take about 1/3 cup of the broth and use it to deglaze the pan while it's still hot. Loosen up all that good gunk! It's your flavor and it's wonderful.<br />
<br />
Now, toss in all the rest of your veggies and the meat you just took out, fill with broth to cover and add more to keep the liquid about 1 -2 inches above the food. You want to be able to stir this as it cooks easily. <br />
Use a pot big enough so the food is not crowded in there.<br />
<br />
Toss in more salt and pepper if you wish and let this boil SLOWLY until the potatoes are tender.<br />
<br />
When the potatoes are tender you can now call it almost done. Toss in a fistful of peas and a fistfull of beans and let them simmer while you prepare your roux for thickening the stew.<br />
<br />
In a separate pan, put equal amounts of flour and butter. Usually I use 6 Tbsp each.<br />
Let this blend on a low flame and let it 'cook' a bit till it turns a little brown. This gives so much flavor to your stew too. The more you let the roux brown, the more flavorful it is. Just don't over-do it!<br />
<br />
Now, once this is done, VERY SLOWLY add this to your stew pot and keep the liquid moving as you add. Add a little at a time until it's thick enough! Don't toss it all in at once or it can become too lumpy or too thick.<br />
<br />
Serve hot with nice rolls on the side and a garden salad.<br />
This batch should make enough for dinner, leftover dinner the next night and lunch in between!<br />
Leftover stew tastes better the next day too!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Variation: </span><br />
Make chicken pot pies with this! Simply make a pie crust and put your cooked stew in a casserole dish, seal it with the crust and bake in a 350°F until the crust is brown and the inside is bubbling.<br />
<br />
You can also make a bottom crust in your casserole if you wish, just pre cook this crust for 10 minutes in the casserole FIRST, then put the stew in, seal it with a top crust and bake in a 350°F until crust is  browned and stew is bubbly inside.<br />
<br />
You can use turkey instead of chicken if you desire.</span>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Rosemary Roast Chicken ~ Sunday Dinner]]></title>
			<link>https://twitchinkitchen.com/thread-143.html</link>
			<pubDate>Wed, 09 Apr 2008 12:41:58 -0400</pubDate>

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">This is my own recipe. Although it's nothing all that spectacular, it's mighty tasty and so easy to make! <br />
This is one of the many "Sunday Dinners" I've started to do again.<br />
<br />
Remember when Sunday was the big meal? Mom spent all day cooking something wonderful, you ate early and everyone came home to eat. <br />
<br />
Start Sunday Dinner again!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Rosemary Roast Chicken</span></span></span><br />
<br />
You can either bake this in the oven or use a rotisserie or you can even roast this on the BBQ if you have a spit for yours.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Ingredients:</span><br />
<br />
One whole roasting chicken - size depends on the size of your family.<br />
lots of whole fresh sprigs of Rosemary <br />
salt &amp; pepper<br />
store bough pre mixed seasoning for roasting poultry.<br />
one large whole onion<br />
<br />
Wash and clean your chicken. Take out the gizzards in the bag inside the cavity! (you laugh but I can't tell you how many times people think this is stuffing that comes with the bird!)<br />
<br />
Take your onion and peel it, cut it in half and stuff it in the cavity of the bird.<br />
Take your rosemary sprigs, one at a time and insert them <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #FFC0CB;" class="mycode_color">under</span></span> the skin of your chicken. Load it up good! make small slits so you can stuff them in the wings, legs, back everywhere you can get some rosemary sprigs in, do it! The more the better.<br />
<br />
Rub the bird with salt, pepper and the seasonings on the outside. Rub it good too. Then sprinkle more for good luck. <img src="https://twitchinkitchen.com/images/smilies/awink.gif" alt="Awink" title="Awink" class="smilie smilie_12" /><br />
<br />
Put your bird on a spit for rotisserie or on the rack if you're baking it.<br />
<br />
Take a sharp fork or metal pick and poke holes all over the bird. This will allow the fat to drain out while cooking. You will need to poke the roast every 15 mins or less if you want a nice fat reduced and crispy skin. Plus this makes for self basting!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">If baking:</span><br />
put chicken on rack, poke full of holes. Take some veggies of your choosing and put them around the bird if you like, add salt and pepper to the veggies.<br />
potatoes<br />
carrots<br />
celery<br />
are the usual accompaniments to roasting meat.<br />
<br />
Add about 3/4 inch water to the bottom of the pan and bake at 350°F until the bird is done. <br />
Normal cooking times vary but the usual measurement is 20 minutes per pound then add another 20 to the overall time.<br />
<br />
I like to leave my birds cook till one leg or wing comes off easily when pulled.<br />
Your meat should NEVER be pink near the bone for poultry!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">For rotisserie:</span><br />
Follow the above seasoning directions.<br />
Skewer the bird with your spit, put lots of holes.<br />
Let turn on the spit at 350°F poking holes at regular and frequent intervals until done.<br />
<br />
Again, about 20 minutes per pound or until the leg pulls off easily.<br />
<br />
Since no veggies are in when you cook on a spit, I like to serve mashed potatoes, green beens or other green veggies and gravy with a side salad.]]></description>

<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">For rotisserie:</span><br />
Follow the above seasoning directions.<br />
Skewer the bird with your spit, put lots of holes.<br />
Let turn on the spit at 350°F poking holes at regular and frequent intervals until done.<br />
<br />
Again, about 20 minutes per pound or until the leg pulls off easily.<br />
<br />
Since no veggies are in when you cook on a spit, I like to serve mashed potatoes, green beens or other green veggies and gravy with a side salad.]]></content:encoded>

<br />
 <br />
<br />
bake the chicken pieces in a 9x 13 dish and bake for 30 minutes and 350 degrees.<br />
<br />
Drain any fat off and pour in the can of peaches.  either halves or slices what ever you prefer. <br />
<br />
Bake another 30 minutes or until chicken is tender.    That's all. <br />
<br />
you can also do this with just breasts but bake shorter time.. about 15 minutes or so per side.]]></description>

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">ingredients:</span><br />
<br />
4 whole boneless chicken breasts, butterflied and cut in half <br />
4 tablespoons butter. Divide into 2 chunks <br />
1 can cream of chicken soup <br />
3 sprigs fresh rosemary <br />
1 cup hot water <br />
one big handful pine nuts (optional) <br />
1 can sliced mushrooms or about a cup of fresh sliced mushrooms<br />
<br />
In medium skillet, melt butter and brown chicken in batches. Add more butter as needed.<br />
Take out chicken and set aside. <br />
<br />
Toss in the pine nuts &amp; rosemary and let the nuts  brown slightly. I like to twist the rosemary some so the flavor comes out more.<br />
Deglaze the pan with some of the water and add the soup. Toss in the mushrooms.<br />
Slowly add the rest of the water to this and stir as you do so it's nice and smooth.<br />
<br />
Add the chicken and simmer on low heat for half hour or until the chicken is done.<br />
<br />
Serve over your favorite cooked rice.<br />
