Hey everyone...hope all is well. I recently spent some precious time with my grandson & I'm sure y'all know we're working on a recipe book together. Yes...we're still working on it but it's coming a long great. It is a bit difficult being away but I do cherish our time together especially when we work on recipes. In case you haven't read previous posts...my grandson only 11 yrs. old requested my recipes for when he goes off to college. Yes...I know...tears! He made a list of his preferred dishes...we've tweaked them a bit a long the way geared towards a "fast college" meal and easy meal prep for two. I wanted that especially so he can "freeze leftovers" for a night when he doesn't have much time in the kitchen. He's very active in sports now so I'm assuming it'll be the same off in college :-) For me these recipes come in handy 'cause I cook for two as well. Our recipes can be easily doubled for a crowd if needed. Anyway, lets get back to one of my favorite grocery purchases. I absolutely love Purdue Harvest Land fresh chicken breasts. They come individually wrapped which is so convenient. You can freeze/thaw out as needed or do what I love with the following steps. These are a "staple" on my weekly grocery list. Not only are they convenient but they are 99% Fat Free if you're on a low-calorie diet like me. I especially love how I take each pkg and tenderize the chicken a bit using my fingers before removing from pkg. I know...sounds weird but it works :-) I can go on of how they have "no antibiotics ever" & "fed all vegetarian diet" & "no animal by products" & are "free range" but I'll just share my tip! :-) I'll be sharing this week of how I turn this one package of chicken breasts into 2 meals. I love this tip below....save money....meal prep ahead for chicken tacos...chicken chili...chicken salad. I'll be sharing my easy "creamy chicken noodle soup recipe" & easy "chicken enchiladas." With this tip your recipes are endless! Enjoy!
Blessed Cooking From My Home to Yours,

* Kens lite Steakhouse Northern Italian Basil & Romano dressing (salad isle in store)
Here's all you do...
* Pre-heat oven to 400*
* Line a large baking sheet w/ parchment paper (easier clean-up)
* Tenderize each piece of chicken while in bag using your fingers.
* Remove...lay on baking sheet and spread each piece of chicken evenly w/ Italian dressing.
* Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 20-25 minutes (ovens vary)
* Remove foil...flip chicken over and spread more dressing on top if desired.
* Cook for about another 10 minutes uncovered or until fully cooked.
* Slightly cool and shred using 2 forks or your preferred method.
TIP: This is when I divide chicken in half for 2 recipes. If you have a large family then you'll most
likely use all of the chicken ;-) You can also freeze half if needed once cooled.
Oh...did you notice how you had less-clean-up using the parchment paper? Who doesn't love a faster
clean-up in the kitchen. I know my grandson will :-)
