Raspberry Chipotle Baked Chicken

Ingredients:

• Boneless chicken breast
• Heavy cream
• Flour
• Salt
• Pepper
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Archer Farms Raspberry Chipotle Grilling Sauce

Preheat Oven to 375 degrees


Directions:

In a dish, combine flour, salt and pepper.  In another dish, pour a bit of heavy cream into a small bowl and coat the chicken breast.  Then dredge the chicken breast.  Generously sprinkle cinnamon over one side and then sprinkle a bit of nutmeg.

Place the chicken in a single serving baking dish (I use Corning Ware French Ovals 15-B-F), cinnamon and nutmeg side down.  Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on top.  Place two pats of butter on top of the chicken.  Put the dish in the oven and bake 25 minutes.

Remove the dish and baste the chicken with the sizzling butter.  Then generously coat the chicken with Archer Farms Raspberry Chipotle Grilling Sauce.  Bake another 10 minutes.

Yield:  1


Myrtle's Note:  Being single, I made just one, when I was thinking up how I could use the sauce I discovered at Target.  If I had company, I would still make each serving in individual dishes.  That way, everyone could push each bite of chicken around in the sauce filling the bottom of the pan.  Bliss.

Southern Fried Corn

Ingredients:

• 4 strips bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 ears corn, cleaned
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions:

1. Fry the bacon pieces until they are all browned.
2. Cut corn off of ears into the frying pan.
3. Scrape milk from corn cob into the frying pan.
4. Add salt, pepper, sugar, and milk.
5. Cook over low to medium heat, stirring often for about 20 minutes.
6. Add in butter and cook another minute.
7. Serve warm.

Yield:  4 Servings


Myrtle's Note:  I cut the recipe in half, but used three slices of bacon, since it was thinly sliced, and used 1/2 cup milk, because the original 3/8 cup reduced down rather quickly.  Were I making a whole recipe, I would probably also increase the milk a tad and definitely add the extra bacon.

Double Chocolate Dr Pepper Cake

Ingredients:

Cake

• 1 cup Dr Pepper (real thing, not diet)
• 1/2 cup oil 
• 1 stick butter
• 3 tablespoons cocoa
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Frosting

• 1 stick butter
• 3 tablespoons cocoa
• 6 tablespoons of cream or milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 3/4 cups confectioner's sugar

Preheat the Oven to 350 Degrees.

Directions:

Cake
In a saucepan, mix Dr Pepper, oil, butter and cocoa and bring to a boil. 

In another bowl, combine the sugar, flour and salt. Pour the boiling Cola mixture over the flour mixture and beat well. 

Add the eggs, buttermilk, soda and vanilla and beat well. 

Pour mixture into a greased and floured 10 x 15 inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove pan. Cool for about 10 minutes before frosting.

Frosting

In a saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa, and milk. Heat until the butter melts. Beat in the remaining ingredients and spread on the cake while it's still warm. 

Myrtle's Note:  I changed the recipe from Coke to Dr Pepper, obviously!  I also had to cook the cake for 33 minutes and it still needed a bit more time.
