Christis Heavenly Catalina Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, brown chicken in oil. Transfer to a shallow baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine the salad dressing, soup mix and jelly; pour over chicken. , Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375°.
• 2. Mix together the Catalina dressing, onion soup mix, and apricot jam. Stir to blend well; set aside.
• 3. Use a meat mallet to pound the thawed (if previously frozen) chicken breasts. This allows for uniformity in thickness for better cooking, and also makes the breasts very tender and delicious.
• 4. Arrange chicken breasts - touching - in an ungreased 13 x 9" baking pan. Pour dressing mixture over all chicken. Bake for approx. 30 minutes, until juices run clear, and the breasts have a nice 'glazed' appearance.
• 5. Serve with rice and a nice salad or pretty green vegetable!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 4 min. on each side or until browned on both sides. Transfer chicken to 3-qt. casserole.
• Mix dressing, jam and soup mix; pour over chicken.
• Bake 35 to 40 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF).

Steps:

• In a saucepan, sauté the scallions in butter until tender. Whisk in flour; whisk in milk all at once. Bring to a boil and cook and stir until the sauce is thickened and bubbly.
• Meanwhile, combine the cracker crumbs (breadcrumbs work too in a pinch) and cheese. Dip chicken breast halves in the crumb mixture to coat lightly; retain remaining crumb mixture. (Note: If freezing the meal for later, seal the remaining crumb mixture in a freezer bag).
• Arrange the breast halves in a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• Stir the spinach and ham into the white sauce. Spoon the spinach mixture over the chicken. (Can freeze at this point for later; tape the crumb mixture bag to the side. Defrost before baking.).
• Bake, covered, at 350°F for 60 to 75 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with crumbs. Bake 10 minutes more.
