Chicken Marsala

This is probably one of my FAVORITE recipes! I love the taste of this....no mushrooms though because I don't like them but it's still awesome. You can add mushrooms if you would like :)

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup marsala wine
1 cup chicken broth
flour
majorum
salt
pepper
1 cup onion, chopped
1 T butter
1 t corn starch
1 t cold water
Pinch of sugar

Mix salt, pepper, flour and majorum. Coat chicken breasts in mixture. Melt butter in heavy bottom skillet, lightly brown chicken breasts in butter on medium heat. Remove chicken breasts from pan, add onions and cook until soft. Add chicken back in the pan, add marsala wine and chicken broth. You may choose to add a slight bit more of each to make more sauce. Bring to a boil for 1 min, then reduce heat and cover. Cook 10 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan, if you would like you can now thicken up the sauce by mixing the corn starch and water and then adding it to the pan. You can also add the sugar now too. Allow to boil for 1 min. Add the chicken back in and cover, cook 10 more minutes.

Note: I usually wait until the end to thicken up the sauce. I do add the sugar and cook for a minute but then take the chicken out at the end and thicken it up then.

Chicken and Rice Casserole

I haven't tried this one yet but it looks super easy and sounds good!

2 cups milk
2 cups uncooked rice
2 cans cream of chicken soup
Salt/Pepper

Combine all ingredients except for chicken and pour into a 9x13 in casserole dish. Add chicken pieces. Cover with foil and bake 350 degrees for 90 min, stirring every 30 min until rice is done. Cook uncovered 15 mins.

Pork Chops IN Scalloped Potatoes

This is an awesome recipe and so easy that I got from Ben's Aunt Cathie. It's pork chops cooked in scalloped potatoes in the oven.

1 pkg of 4 regular thickness porkchops
2 boxes scalloped potatoes
Salt
Pepper

Salt and Pepper the porkchops and lightly brown (about 3-4 min each side) - I use my george forman but you can pan fry also. Mix scalloped potatoes in a casserole dish per box directions for the oven. Put scalloped potatoes in the casserole and add porkchops on top. Bake 1 hr at 350 degrees.
