I tend to like things with a little more flavor so I added some of my favorite spices to this such as garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning.
1 Pkg. (4oz.) crumbled Feta Cheese
Red pepper and parsley to sprinkle on top

Arrange chicken in 13 X 9- inch baking dish. Drizzle with 1 T. lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and other seasonings if you chose to use them. Top with Feta Cheese. Drizzle with remaining lemon juice. Bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes or until cooked through. Sprinkle with the red pepper and parsley.
I am serving this with broccoli and fruit

Made this for dinner and it was so easy as you can read. The Feta cheese does have an odd odor but so good tasting.  It turned out delicious! The family loved it and gave this meal

Chili Verde

Chili Verde (from Once-A-Month-Cooking by Mimi Wilson & Mary Beth Lagerborg) I love this recipe because there are so many things that can be used from your food storage.

Ingredients:
8 oz. dry pinto beans (1 1/4 cups) or one can
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (2 cups) you could even use canned
1 4oz. can chopped green chilies
1 tsp. ground cumin
3/4 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1 tsp. minced garlic (1 clove)
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese *This gets put into a bag if freezing or save for on top if using that day.
1 doz. corn tortillas
1-11 1/2-ounce jar salsa* Saved for later

Directions:
Rinse pinto beans, soak them in cold water overnight, then drain them. If using a can drain off juices. Cut chicken into 1 inch cubes; cook until no longer pink in a small amount of water. Conbine cooked chicken with chilies and seasonings; refrigerate until needed. At the same time, combine beans, water, bouillon cubes, garlic, salt and onion in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are soft, about 1 hour. Add more water if necessary.
Combine chicken and spices with beans; simmer 10 more minutes. Cool and freeze. Place grated cheese in a 1 quart freezer bag, attach to the 1 gallon freezer bag (or 5 cup container) with the chili.
To serve, thaw chili an cheese. Simmer chili 30 min, stirring occasionally. Top chili with salsa and grated cheese; serve on warmed corn tortillas. Makes 6 servings.


This is one that all the forks or should I say spoons enjoy.

Crock Pot Lemon Pepper Chicken

This one might end up on a family favorite list.

Ingredients:
1 whole roaster/fryer chicken (good sized one)
2 Tbsp. lemon pepper seasoning or more to your taste
1 lemon
1 onion
Cooking spray

Spray crock-pot with olive oil or something like Pam cooking spray. Wash out and clean out the chicken. Make sure you take out it's little lunch sack in the cavity.
Take about 4 pieces of aluminum foil and ball them up. Place them underneath the chicken in the crock pot to keep it from sticking. This will be it's little rack to sit on.
Clean off the outside of the lemon and cut it into three big pieces and then clean and cut up onion into several different pieces and place in the cleaned out chicken. This flavors it nicely throughout the body.
Place washed, cleaned out whole chicken in the crock-pot on the foil balls. For me I like to Spray a little bit of the cooking spray on the chicken this makes the seasoning stick and also makes the skin a little crunchier. You could also use butter in the place of the spray. Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning. Cook on high 5-6 hours or on low 8-10 hours. There is no need to add liquid as the chicken will make it's own juices while in the crock-pot.

This is wonderful served with steam broccoli with a sprinkling of shredded cheese on it .
A tossed green salad and some fruit and this is a wonderful meal.

This got 8 forks from the family. It is easy, quick to make and very tasty. Better than the ones you buy pre-made at the market.

Baked Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients:
3 lb. chicken parts
1 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
Salt to taste
1 clove garlic or 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
3/4 cup melted butter

Combine bread crumbs, cheese, oregano, pepper and salt; set aside. Lightly saute garlic in 2 T. butter then stir in remaining butter. Dip chicken in garlic butter then roll each piece in bread crumb mixture. Place chicken in 9 X 13 pan and sprinkle with remaining bread crumb mixture. Pour on remaining butter. Bake at 350* for 55 min.

For our family I will add more garlic and some Provence Herbs. I find that a lot of recipes take it way to far on the safe side of flavors so I always kick more in to it.
I have not tried this recipe before but it is on my men for this week.
