Yogurt Chicken #1

1 chicken breast, cut lengthwise into strips
1 cup plain yogurt (home made is best)
1/2 box Chicken In a Biscuit crackers
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons tarragon or marjoram
1 cup sweet butter

Clean the chicken and put into a plastic ziploc bag. Pour yogurt over chicken and refrigerate for at least two hours. You may optionally salt and pepper the chicken before adding to the bag. It’s your only chance to season the meat.

Combine the crackers, cheese, and herbs into coarse crumbs. I use a small food processor.

Melt half of the butter and pour into bottom of a baking dish.

Dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture and set into buttered baking dish. Pour remaining butter over chicken. Bake for 35-45 minutes in a 350 degree oven until golden brown.

I didn’t get a decent photograph of the final product this time. I am planning on making this again this week, so maybe better luck?


Pork Chops and Rice

I prepared this dish in my apple ceramic baker. The lid has to be soaked for 30 minutes before baking. It keeps everything moist. The instructions included with the ceramic barker included a recipe for pork chops. The original recipe called for cream of mushroom soup, which I exchanged for cream of chicken.

3-4 large pork chops
1 1/2 cup parboiled rice
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
1/2 onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon tarragon

Make an even layer of rice in the bottom of the baker. Place pork chops on top. In mixing bowl, combine soup mix and milk. Add onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and tarragon. Pour mix over pork chops and rice. Cover with pre-soaked lid for one hour at 350 degrees.
