Sweet Island Chicken

SWEET ISLAND CHICKEN

This chicken dish is one of our go to meals. It is really easy, and so delicious. Plus, the kids LOVE it!

Ingredients:

4 small chicken breasts or 2 large breasts cut in half

1 16 oz bottle of Russian salad dressing

1 20 oz can of pineapple chunks, drained

1 pkg of dry onion soup mix

3/4 of a 32 oz. jar of apricot pineapple preserves

1 tsp salt

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix Russian dressing, onion soup mix, preserves together in a mixing bowl. Add drained pineapple chunks. Add seasonings and stir until completely combined.

Trim chicken, and if using large breasts, cut them in half and put into 9 x 13 baking dish. Pour the combined sauce over the chicken.

Cover a cookie sheet in tinfoil and put it on bottom oven rack with chicken dish on top rack to bake. Sometimes it can bubble over a little and it will help just in case that happens.

Bake the chicken for one hour. Pull out of the oven and cut into the thickest part of the breast to make sure the juice runs clear. You can serve this on its own, or over a bed of cooked rice.

OUR BETTER THAN FAST FOOD ONION RINGS

Onion Rings 4 Large White Onions 6 Cups Unbleached Flour 3 Tablespoons Salt 3 teaspoons of Garlic Powder 1 1/2 teaspoons of Black Pepper 2 1/2 teaspoons of Paprika 4 Large Eggs 1/2 Cup Milk Canola or Vegetable Oil for frying These are the BEST homemade onion rings. Not much batter, light, crispy and delicious. It seems like it would be overwhelming, but actually it is well worth the time. Start out with 4 large white onions. We have found these work the best. They have a really great flavor. Next, slice them up. If you do them a little on the thin side, they cook up really nicely and are a perfect consistency. When you slice them, only keep the bigger rings. The middle pieces are not as good for the rings. I usually only keep the first 4 to 5 outer rings and toss the rest. Next, add the seasonings to the flour. I have 3 bowls that I set up for flour and wet ingredients. The first bowl will have ...
