Recipes

So I'm trying out some new recipes this coming up week. Tonight's was a winner! This one is for Becky it has a glaze!

Glazed Chicken with Apple Salad
(Pampered Chef-29 Minutes to Dinner cookbook)
Dressing & Apple Salad
2 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp apple jelly
1/3 cup Mayo
1 Granny Smith Apple
1 McIntosh or Gala Apple
1/2 cup lightly packed watercress


Chicken & Glaze
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt & pepper
2 tbsp apple jelly
1 tsp stone-ground mustard
1 tbsp brown sugar
1. For dressing, mix together vinegar, jelly and mayo, set aside. For salad, slice apples into julienne strips. Remove leaves from watercress stems. (discard stems); coarsely chop watercress leaves. Combine apples and watercress in bowl.

2. For chicken. heat Grill Pan (since this is a pampered chef recipe) not sure what else you would use, I guess just a pan to medium high heat 5 minutes. Meanwhile, flatten chicken to even thickness. Brush oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook chicken 4-6 minutes or until grill marks appear. Turn chicken over; cook 4-6 minutes or until center is no longer pink.

3. While chicken is cooking, prepare glaze. Combine jelly. mustard and brown sugar in a small bowl (prep bowl if have one) Brush chicken with glaze during the last minute of cooking.

4. To serve, arrange additional watercress on serving plate, if desired. Pour dressing over salad just before serving; toss gently to coat. Top watercress with salad and chicken
