cancer right now, and I have been bringing dinner over to her family once a
week. This will be made the next time!! TFS! Hugs, April XO
+april casey HI April.. My gosh Im so sorry about your friend. I will remember her in my prayers... Let me know if you make this and how you like it :) Thanks for watching :) XO
Oh that does look delicious. Better than Shake n Bake, which is what we use
in this house! Lou tested and approved!! I am going to try this recipe.
Thanks. I enjoyed this video very much!
+SimplyMe1970 ... YES I have tried this one out. I was really good and we all loved it. I only need this thick foil - I did not have one and so mine got all sugar-oil-burnt ... but it was nice and moist and really tasty. Hubby and son also gave a thumbs up!! thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for this recipe. I love it when you cook. I will have to try this
out, as we eat a lot of chicken for dinner. Was great to see Lou. I heard
him say something in the background at I always smile when I hear him.
+Lyndsay Wagner LOL Yes, thats my Lou , always yappin when I have the camera on.. LOL....Im sorry about your dad... Yes, I would love to chat with you XO
Betty's Sweet and Spicy Baked Chicken Breast Tenders
Betty demonstrates how to make one of her favorite entrees to serve guests, her Sweet and Spicy Baked Chicken Breast Tenders. These chicken tenders are ...
Thank you! I know you are on a weight loss journey. This recipe can be made
with fat free Italian dressing and sugar-free apricot preserves, so that
will save some calories. In many of my recipes I substitute fat free items
and use Splenda instead of sugar (as long as it does not affect the
flavor!). I also have recipes that are very high in calories for those in
my audience that don't count calories. My philosophy is that nothing is off
limits-just eat small portions of high calorie foods!
I'm so happy that you liked the chicken recipe, and that you gave me some
feedback. I have a coleslaw recipe that would be perfect for you. I think I
called it something like Betty's Creamy Shortcut Coleslaw. I also have a
wonderful Green Pea Salad that I use when I am watching calories. I could
live on it, but it's very healthy! I probably have several others where I
cut down on the fat and sugar. Thanks for trying, and for leaving the sweet
comment! --Betty :)
The temperature is 325 F. It needs to cook slowly to be very tender. The
aluminum foil holds the moisture in so that the chicken does not end up
dried out and tough. It bakes at the same rate, and you should remove the
aluminum foil during the last part of the cooking in order to get the
chicken to brown a bit. You will see the entire recipe if you click "more
info." --Betty :)
Okay, so I just had to say that this dish is amazing. I ended up making
this for dinner tonight and it was delicious!! I used Fat Free Italian
dressing and it was great. My husband loved it as well. II served it with
rice and steamed broccoli. This will be a keeper for sure. Thank you again
for sharing. I can't wait to see more recipes! ;) 5 Stars for sure!!
Hi Betty, Really like this idea. I'm gonna make this tomorrow for dinner.
Although - I was wondering if it would be okay to use Apricot/Pineapple
Mixed Bottle Jelly. Do you think the pineapple will throw it off? I think
Smuckers sales a bottle of Apricot/Pineapple Jelly. I don't wanna try it
tho if it will not taste good with the pineapple. Thanks!
They look yummy...the only thing I would do different would be to put all
the chicken, dressing and apriot preserves in a Cook'n Bag, let it marinate
in the fridge, then put the whole thing in a baking dish and bake it in the
same bag...much less mess, and the chicken self bases in the Cook'n Bag...I
think I'll try this recipe...Thanks!
I think this chicken would be good with whipped potatoes, a vegetable that
you like, hot rolls, and a little something sweet for dessert. It is a
spicy dish, so you don't want to surround it with a lot of other dishes
that are spicy in different ways--just go with good, standard starches and
veggies. --Betty :)
Betty, this was so delicious!!!! I made it for dinner and my husband and I
enjoyed it so much! Will definitely be making it again! I also loved that
it was so easy and simple to make. Thank you kindly for sharing this yummy
dish!!! :D
That looks like the chicken would taste wonderful with sticky rice cooked
from my rice cooker. It looks almost like "sticky chicken" with the jam.
The chicken on top of sticky rice that would taste and go really nice
together. Yummy!
Thank you for posting! I cooked this recipe tonight for my family and they
loved it. My brother loved it so much that he had 3 plates! Instead of
chicken breast... I used chicken thighs and legs though. Thanks again!
I made this for dinner last night. Finding one of your recipes to try to
over the weekend is becoming a new family tradition. The chicken came out
beautifully. It was very tender and delicious.
@MrGoldenmine No, they aren't dry. I like the flavor when the sauce is
baked in like this, but you can leave it for less time, if you like. It
will be "done" after 45 minutes or so. --Betty :)
@WJMHelena The closest match would be peach preserves, but you could try
some other flavors. You need something sweet to go with the spicy flavor of
the Italian dressing. --Betty :)
Two questions: first, how do you decide on the temperature? I can never
figure that out. Second, what does the aluminum foil do for the food? Does
it make it bake faster?
