Super Yummy Super Easy

This has become a family favorite. Everyone likes it and the chicken comes out "juicy" just how Griffin likes it. :) I got the original recipe from Penny Pinching Main dishes by JoAnna M. Lund. I have tweaked it a bit, like I do most recipes My notes are in parenthesis. I hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

Chicken Cola Bake

16 oz skinned and boned uncooked chicken breasts, cut into 4 pieces (I use 5-6 IQF boneless skinless chicken breasts)

1/2 cup diet cola ( we don't do diet, so I use regular)

1 can cream of Mushroom soup (she suggest Healthy Request, but I use whatever I have on hand)

2 tablespoons dried onion flakes (use a bit more, maybe 3 Tbsp)

1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes (If I don't have these, I leave it out and it still tastes good.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken pieces in a baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine cola, soup, onion and parsley flakes using a wire wisk. Pour mixture over chicken. cover and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until chicken is tender.

Great Find

My old breadmaker is dying a slow death. I do have to say it has held up well . It's about 8 years old. It is just getting progressively louder. The motor is working harder, the beater thingie (yes, that's the techical term. LOL) is squeaky, the nonstick is starting to come off in place. All in all it has served me well, but I knew I would have to start looking for a new one soon. :)

I had been looking at this machine, but it was a little out of my price range right now and I would have had to save up for it. I was at the Goodwill store the other day and stumbled across this for $15. It is wonderful. I LOVE it. It's quiet, compared to my old machine. It has a setting for 3 different size loaves. It makes jam!!! What a great find. I am so thrilled. I plan on making tons of bread with it. Ok, maybe not tons, but you know what I mean. :) I will definately be posting pictures and recipes as I make them. This is so gonna rock. :)
