YUMMY CHICKEN STUFF

YUMMY CHICKEN STUFF 
2 pounds boneless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 4-ounce cans mushrooms, drained
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 packet ranch dressing mix, 1/2 ounce or a scant 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, 1 ounce
Place the chicken pieces in a single layer in a 9x13" baking dish; season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Cover with the mushrooms. Blend the sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch dressing mix and cream; spread over the mushrooms. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over everything. Bake at 375º 45-60 minutes or until the top is brown and crusty and the chicken is done. I baked mine 45 minutes and the chicken was a little over done and dry. I suggest checking it after 30-35 minutes.

ALICE SPRINGS CHICKEN

ALICE SPRINGS CHICKEN
4 boneless chicken breasts
8 pieces bacon, coarsely chopped
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, minced
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
Season the chicken with the seasonings of your choice (I use Spicy Seasoning Salt); grill until just done. Keep the chicken warm. Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a skillet until crisp; drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms and garlic in butter, seasoning with salt to taste. Cook until the juices have evaporated. Place the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet. Top each piece of chicken with 1/4 of the mushrooms and bacon, then with the shredded cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli

Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli

1 pound boneless beef chuck roast
8 oz. sliced mushrooms, optional
1 cup beef stock or broth
1/2 cup soy sauce (next time, I might try low sodium for this)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Korean pepper paste (or a squirt of sriracha), optional
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sauce from the crock pot after being cooked
fresh broccoli florets (as many as desired)
In a large skillet, brown the chuck on both/all sides. Then remove from pan and slice into thick strips or cut into chunks. Place beef in the crock pot, along with the mushrooms. Pour in the beef stock, soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, pepper paste or sriracha (if using), and garlic. Pour over beef and mushrooms. Stir to combine, and cook on low for six hours.In a small bowl, stir cornstarch and some sauce from the crock pot together until smooth. Add back to the crock pot. Stir well to combine. Also, add the broccoli to the crock pot, and stir gently to combine. Cover and cook an additional 30 minutes on high (the sauce has to boil for it to thicken).
