Chicken Couscous

  • 1 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne
  • 8 ounces shredded carrot
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion & sauté 3 min. Season chicken with salt & pepper. Add to skillet & saute 3 min, stirring. Add broth, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne & 1 cup water; bring to a simmer. Add carrot & raisins & simmer another 3 min.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

  • 2-3 pounds boned, skinned chicken breasts, cut into 2 inch or so chunks
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • dry bread crumbs (I used the Italian seasoned crumbs)
  • oil for frying
  • 5-6 slices ham lunchmeat, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, whatever type you like
  • 1 can cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup, mixed with 1 cup milk

Mix the egg with the milk; dip the chicken in the milk, then coat with the breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a large frying pan, and fry the chicken just until browned. (I did this in three batches, so they would all brown evenly.)

Put the browned chicken in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle the ham over this, then add about 1/2 cup of the cheese on top. Pour the soup/milk over all this. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until browned and bubbly
