Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

I made a delicious chicken dinner tonight.  Both kids loved it and so did the adults!  So I thought I'd share!

1 can Chicken broth

2 tbsp Fresh Chives

2 tbsp Fresh Dill

Salt- to taste

Pepper- to taste

2 tbsp Flour

Peas

Chicken breasts

Olive Oil

Flour

Mix together chicken broth, salt, pepper, herbs and flour in a bowl.  Set aside.

Place floured chicken in frying pan  for 2 minutes on each side.  Chicken will be golden brown on each side.  Place on a plate and cover with foil. 

In the same pan add broth mixture and peas.  Allow to cook for a few minutes and add chicken- nestling the breasts into the vegetables.  Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes. 

I served this with mashed potatoes and it was so good! 

Give it a try and enjoy!

Independence Apple Pie

I made a pie for Andy's fire station today since he has to work on his favorite holiday.  I thought he deserves some patriotic snacks to celebrate. 

Independence Apple Pie

Crust:
2 cups flour
2/3 cup shortening
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp water

Filling:
7 Granny Smith Apples- pealed and sliced
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour

For the crust, mix the flour and salt together.  Then cut in the shortening with pastry knife.  Once the shortening is mixed well add water and form dough.  Roll out half for the bottom of the pie.  Grease a pie pan and add the rolled dough.

For the filling mix all ingredients except butter.  Add filling into the pie pan.  Roll out the second half of dough and slice into long strips for stripes and use a star cookie cutter to make stars.  Add this to the top of the pie.  Pinch together the edges of the dough along pie plate.
