greekchef,

I've just got to tell you that you're amazing. I've worked with a collegiate chapter on House Corp and we never stopped hearing complaints about the food, even when we asked the girls for suggestions. I think it's fantastic that you're actively looking for different menu options. Kudos!!

So here's a recipe that I absolutely love. (It only serves four or five but, hey, you're a chef so I'm sure you'll know how to increase it properly.)

Cranberry Chicken

1 whole chicken or chicken parts (I do the parts....skinless, of course)
1 envelope of Lipton Onion Soup mix
1 8 oz can of whole cranberries
1 regular sized bottle of Creamy French Dressing (I use Kraft)

Mix the dressing, cranberries, and soup mix together. Place chicken pieces in a 13" x 9" pan. Pour mixture over chicken. (I usually let it marinate, but it's fine not to.) Bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours. No cover and don't baste.

That's it. Super easy. The ingredients sound gross but it's so good! The cranberry mixture should create a nice glaze on the chicken but leave enough sauce in the pan for pouring. Serve over rice with some nice green veggies. Yum! It's a nice winter meal.


Any interest in:

Tzatziki & Hummus platter with pita chips?
Waldorf Salad? (easy to make some vegetarian and some with chicken)
Noodle Kugle?

Darn it! Now I'm hungry.
