Swiss Chicken

I'm sure there's a fancier name for this, or it's really something else that I'm just calling Swiss Chicken, but anyway, here it is! I call it Swiss Chicken because I make it like I make Swiss Steak, except with chicken.

First, I put some chicken breasts in a baking pan. Then I cover it with diced or crushed tomatoes, bell pepper strips (if I have one) and onion slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, a teaspoon of Italian Seasoning (basil and oregano, it you're out of Italian Seasoning) and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour.

I like to serve it with a baked potato, green beans and a salad. I made this last week and the boys liked it. I just told them that it was spaghetti sauce chicken and they ate it up!!

I also made triple chocolate brownies for dessert, which is just a regular brownie mix, prepared according to package directions, with chocolate chips stirred in. This time I put white chocolate chips on top, sometimes I use regular chocolate chips, and other times I frost the brownies with chocolate frosting. It's good either way! Here's a picture of the brownies:




I made a new recipe for Bunco last night. It was so easy and so very yummy! It's:

Chocolate Cheese Cake

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. sugar
1 tub chocolate cool whip
Oreo pie shell
chocolate bar for shaving or mini chocolate chips

Mix the softened cream cheese and sugar together with a mixer until well blended:



Stir in the cool whip, pour it into the Oreo crust and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or mini chips. Put it in the fridge to chill until serving time.
Here's the final product:




Enjoy!

Swiss Chicken, what a good idea. I'll be trying that one too!

We have decided to start having Sunday after church fellowships once a month or so with some of our friends. I am having them over this Sunday after church and I think I am going to make the Chocolate Cream Cheese Pie as one of the desserts. It's going to be a pot luck, but there will be about 30 of us here. So, I'll need plenty of desserts. I know, you are thinking, WHERE is she going to put 30 people for lunch! I don't know, I'm not going to stress over this. It will work out. The idea is to continue our fellowship with our friends! Thanks for all of your good ideas!

Hey, Becki! Good for you! You can easily host 30 people in your house! If I can in mine, you can in yours! The pie is really good and so easy to make. I think it would be easy to alter, too. You could add some very finely crushed candy canes for a chocolate mint pie or some coconut for a Mounds pie...or just make it chocolate! It was a hit here, so much that I think I'm going to make another one! Have fun!!

Thanks for being a faithful visitor!
