okay, yeah, I'm slack. Forgive me:-), please? Last Sunday, I totally spaced on Succulent Sunday, so to make up for it, today I'll post 2 recipes, kay? The first, Hawaiian chicken, is one I found online quite a few years ago - it is very kid friendly and delish! The second, Apple Yam casserole, is a side dish that goes great with the Hawaiian chicken. It also goes great with many other things - it's fabulous, period! Enjoy, and have some great family meals together this week.
Hawaiian chicken
Ingredients: about 1 lb or 1.5 lb chicken(can use breasts/thighs whatever - I like boneless skinless, up to you);
1/2 cup soy sauce(I use low sodium);
1/2 cup sugar;
1 tsp ground ginger;
1 tsp minced garlic(I use the kind that's already in a jar:-),
1 can pineapple chunks drainedD
Directions: Place chicken in baking dish; pour soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic in blender, blend until smooth; pour sauce over chicken; Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 45 minutes(I am pretty sure that mine didn't take this long, but I might not have baked it that hot either...experiment with this, but that's the original directions from the recipe). When there are 10 minutes left, pour pineapple over chicken and continue to bake until done. Great over rice!
Apple yam casserole
For a 3 qt casserole: Take 3-4 sweet potatos(depending on how large); you can cut them up raw or goahead and steam them. I steam them in the microwave, and then cube them - cutsthe cooking time for the casserole in half!
3-4 Granny Smith apples; peeled, cored and sliced
In the casserole, layer the sweet potatos and apples. In a small saucepan, mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup water, 1/4 tspground cinnamon, 1/2 cup raisins(or cranberry raisins are really good too:-), 2 TBSPbutter, and 1/4 tsp salt. Simmer for a little while, until slightly thickened.
In a smallbowl, mix together 2 TBSP flour and 2 or 3 TBSP water, add to brown sugarmixture...pour over sweet potatos/apples. Thinly slice a lemon and place 6 or solemon slices on top. Bake uncovered in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20minutes. (If the sweet potatos aren't steamed, add 20 minutes on to the beginningof that, and cover it for the first 20 minutes.)
