Malibu Chicken
Amy D.
Chicken Breast (pounded so each piece is even, which is better for cooking – no burned edges this way)
Thick Slice of ham (lunch meat is best, but not deli thin style)
Slice of Swiss cheese
Bake chicken breast in oven, as you would normally – 350’ for about 40 minutes, depending upon thickness of each chicken breast
I like to lightly season mine with Lawry’s or chicken seasoning, plain old salt and pepper works fine too.
When chicken is just about done, top each piece with a slice of ham, followed by a slice of cheese and return to oven for a few minutes, until the cheese is slightly melted and still on each piece of meat.
This works well with chicken tenderloins if you cut each slice of ham and cheese in half. Provolone cheese is also a tasty combination.
Sauce
¼ cup Mayonnaise (not salad dressing)
2 Tablespoons Regular prepared mustard
1 Tablespoon Prepared Dijon Mustard
1 Tablespoon Honey Mustard (or ½ Tablespoon honey and ½ Tablespoon regular mustard)
Mix together, adding a little more Dijon, if needed
Sizzler breads their chicken first, but I think that’s too time consuming and doesn’t really increase the flavor of the main course.

Yummy Baked Chicken
Michelle H.
3 Cans cream of chicken soup

1 Tbs. Lemon juice
1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
6 Slices baby Swiss cheese
6 chicken breasts
1 Tbs. melted butter
Mix soup, sour cream, and lemon juice, spread out on bottom of pan (I use less sauce if I make it in a 13x9 pan), place chicken breasts on top of sauce, put a slice of cheese on each breast, sprinkle Ritz on top and pour butter on top. Cook at 275° for 1 1/2 hours (the original recipe says to cook for 2 hours but I have found that is too long so you will just have to watch it).

Chicken Paprika
Michelle H.
This is a traditional Hungarian meal. They make it with a whole chicken or chicken pieces like legs and thighs w/skin on. I use chicken breasts because they're much easier to work with. Because the breasts have less fat, the flavor is not quite as rich, but still good. Even though it cuts a few calories and grams of fat using the breasts, this recipe is (sadly) far from being low-fat and low-cal, but it sure is yummy!
1-1½ sticks butter
3 small-medium onions, chopped
3-4 tsp. paprika
4-6 chicken breasts
½ c. water
1-2 c. chicken broth
cornstarch or flour, dissolved in water (to thicken)
1 c. sour cream
Melt butter in skillet. Brown onions in butter until soft. Add paprika. Brown chicken in butter mixture, but do not cook all the way through. Place chicken in roasting pan. Put ½ c. water in skillet and then pour that mixture over the chicken. Cover the chicken with foil and bake at 325° for about 30-40 minutes or until done. With drippings from pan make the gravy by adding chicken broth and more paprika, if needed. When the drippings mixture has reached a boil add the cornstarch mixture. Continue to stir until it thickens. After thickened, remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
Noodles
This makes a lot of noodles. I usually cut this down and make 1/3 a batch.
6 eggs
1 c. water
1 tsp. salt
flour
Mix ingredients together with electric mixer, adding enough flour to make the batter a very sticky, gooey consistency. Then drop batter in small amounts into boiling water to make noodles. The noodles are cooked when they rise to the top of the boiling water.
