~Chicken, Apple and Cheddar Sandwiches with Honey Mustard~





Sliced rotisserie chicken makes a delicious and very packable sandwich for picnics. I like to layer the ingredients on a long baguette, wrap it up in plastic or foil, and slice it when I get to the beach or park.





~~~ Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwiches ~~~





Place romaine lettuce and sliced chicken on crusty bread and moisten with a dressing of oil, lemon juice, anchovies and garlic.





~~~ Chicken Salad with Raisins, Olives and Pine Nuts ~~~





I always have raisins, olives and pine nuts in my pantry, making this a particularly easy combination. I shred some chicken, combine it with the pantry items, toss in some chopped parsley and moisten the salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Serve over lettuce or with grilled bread on the side.





~~~~~ Martha's Chicken Spaghetti ~~~~~


A great dinner dish! Very easy. Use different colored bell peppers for a colorful dish!

Total Time: 25 mins





4 boneless skinless whole chicken breasts, cut in strips


2 green bell peppers, cut in strips


10 cherry tomatoes, cut in half


1 8-oz bottle low-fat Italian salad dressing


cooked spaghetti





1. Stir fry chicken and peppers until chicken is done and peppers are still slightly crunchy.





2. Add salad dressing and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes during the last 5 minutes, just to heat them. Serve over hot spaghetti.





TIP: This is great using any type of bell pepper





~~~~~ Quick and Easy Oven Fries ~~~~~


This is a handy recipe anyone in the family can make. Experiment with different spices like cayenne pepper or curry powder to bring a new flavor to the table.

2 white fleshed potatoes, medium to large sized

1. Scrub the potatoes well, pat dry. Using a paring knife, remove any bruised areas. Cut the potatoes into 录 inch thick slices crosswise. Cut again. Fries should be no bigger than your index finger.





2. Spray a cookie or baking sheet with the non-stick spray. (a sheet with sides helps keep the fries on the sheet) Lay the potato fries in one layer, leaving some space between fries.





3. Bake for 15 minutes before removing them from the oven and turning them. Bake for another 10 minutes or until they turn a golden brown. Sprinkle with salt or spices.





Notes: Some spices to try are pre-packaged curry powders, creole seasonings, or even Italian spice blends.

Listen to Michelle...but I know sometimes salads can get boring...I lived on Ramen Noodles for about a year and got really creative...my favorite recipe





Boil 2 cups water


add 1 clove garlic


salt


pepper

1 8 oz can of chicken (white meat)


sliced thin green onions


use a vegetable peeler to make long, thin strips of carrots and add them

cook until noodles are done





It's a great meal...then have some Ben and Jerrys for dessert or a nice granny smith apple with some Brie...I even impressed dates with this recipe
What do you have to cook with?? If you are able, make quesadillas. Whole wheat tortillas, cheese, cooked shredded chicken, mushrooms, onions, YUMMY. You can add some cilantro and cumin also to spice things up. This is very healthy also.
Buy yourself one of those Forman's electric grills.





You could grill yourself boneless seasoned chicken breasts,skirt steaks, mushrooms, some veggies, sliced potatoes it's very versitile and cooks most anything in less than 5 min....

kraftfoods.com has alot of recipes I think you would like my son %26amp; his friends use it often. Another good one is allrecipes.com you can even adjust the serving sizes on this site. Also you can make chicken just about anyway you can imagine. Try cutting in small strips %26amp; seasoning with salt, pepper anything you have on hand %26amp; searing in a few teaspoons of oil till done %26amp; add any veggies you like. You can also add a cup or two of cooked rice to this with a can of chicken broth or a buillion cube %26amp; a about a cup of water. Hope you find something you like %26amp; enjoy.
