Andy and Christy were over tonight for dinner. I'm not doing dinner rotation anymore, so instead we do a swap each week with the Fosses. This week was our turn. I made some chicken that I tried a couple years ago, but haven't made recently. The recipe is from Kraftfoods and it's called, "Simply Saucy Chicken." I don't really like that name. If you (does anyone actually read this blog?) have a suggestion for a catchy name for it, please comment. AGAIN, PLEASE COMMENT! I had a picture, but it didn't turn out very well, so I deleted it. Sorry.
....Chicken
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1-2 TBSP olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup Cesear dressing (I used Kraft)
Italian seasoning (a shake or two)
cherry or grape tomatoes cut in half (amount up to you)
pre-cooked and crumbled bacon (I use my old stand-by, see post below)
Directions:
Heat olive oil in large skillet. Cook chicken on medium-high heat, on each side until browned. (4-5 minutes each side.) Mix broth, dressing, and seasoning and then add to chicken. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165 F. (I got a great little digital thermometer at Target for around $10.) Then add tomatoes and bacon. Turn to low a continue to cook for 2 more minutes.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes or yams
2-4 TBSP butter (more or less to taste)
salt and pepper
Directions:
Peel and cube sweet potatoes. Steam them until tender. In mixing bowl add cooking sweet potatoes and butter. Mix with hand blender until desired texture. Salt and pepper to taste.
The adults and Jacob seemed to enjoy the chicken. I think the other kids would have too, minus the tomatoes, but I was being lazy and served them chicken nuggets. Summer didn't like the sweet potatoes, but Brook and Jake had seconds. I think I prefer mashed sweet potatoes to regular mashed potatoes.

OK - I admit it, I read your blog. Sheesh. So much for secrecy!
This meal was delicious and my favorite part was the mashed sweet potatoes....so good! And I just have to say that Sarah is great at cooking chicken. She cooks it to perfection!
