Macadamia Nut Chicken

Ingredients:
6-8 chicken breasts
1 c Parmesan cheese
2 c Bread crumbs
1 c Macadamia nuts
salt and pepper
1/2 c butter (melted)

Mix cheese, bread crumbs, and nuts. Defrost chicken (if frozen) and pat dry. Salt and pepper chicken to taste. Dip chicken breasts in melted butter then roll in dry mixture. Place on baking sheet. Bake uncovered in 375 degree oven until cooked through (approx. 45 to 60 minutes).

If you cut the chicken breasts in half they will cook quicker

Shis-ka-bobs

Contributed by: Karen

1/3 cup oil
2 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp lime zest
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 1/2 tsp fresh oregano
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Chicken - cut into chunks
Veggies - cut into chunks

Place cut chicken & veggies onto skewers. Cover with marinate. Marinate for several hours. Grill.


Karen's notes: Sorry for the picture of the "raw" ka-bobs...forgot to take one after Ben cooked them!! I like to use separate skewers instead of "layering" the meat and veggies. I thread all the skewers, place in a 11x14 glass dish, pour the marinade on and occasionally brush the ka-bobs throughout the day ... basically every time I open the fridge :)

Salsa Chicken

Contributed by: Christie
This is one of our favorite recipes!

4 chicken breast
1 jar salsa
1/2 bottle of ranch dressing

Place chicken on bottom of crockpot. Cover all the chicken with the salsa. Cover all of the salsa with Ranch dressing.

Crockpot on low for about 6-7 hours.

Serve over rice. I think good side dishes for this are salad or corn.
