Chicken ....

 Hello Everyone,


We had chicken for meals a lot when I was growing up.
Mostly fried chicken...
or Chicken and Dumplin's, which was my favorite
 and still to this day, a comfort food for me.
 "Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes."
          Gloria Naylor


We don't eat a lot of chicken (other than Chicken Salad) because I'm
not a fan of chicken.....or turkey.




That cute little rooster there....?

He is one of my favorites...not sure if it's because he's black and white
with polka dots or if it's because he's a pretty SASSY rooster, strutting his stuff.

He's a cutie.....

Went thrifting last week with Mr. Sweet and found this great white pitcher.

I usually don't use my white pitchers much....they are rather small for iced tea,
but this one is a little larger than some of my others and I've been using
it ever since I got it.

I coated these thin chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkled
RANCH DRESSING MIX
on ea piece, trying  not to get too much as the spices are strong....
 .....baked at 350 for about 45 minutes.
(bake until fork tender)
....lots of black pepper.
DE....LISH....!!




Potatoes, beets,  a salad and
we had a great Sunday dinner.
  ORANGE SWIRL ICE CREAM

OK....!!

and, yep, that's a piece of ORANGE CRUSH CAKE beneath
 the layers of ice cream.

XOXO, bj

P.S. That green pepper on the chicken plate....???
Strictly for color in these photos....
no parsley...or anything else to make this lowly baked chicken 
have a little color in it's cheeks....

  6. Yum - the chicken looks so good. Save me a plate. LOL
    I like good chicken and dumplings, as long as the dumplings are not to thick and doughy.
    Enjoy your weekend.

  9. Yummy. The little rooster is rather sassy. Made me hungry for chicken. We don't eat a lot. The Cowboys back in the day corporate job he sold/brokered chicken. He was always eating it at work! I still have to sneak it into the menu plans.
    Thanks for sharing your yumminess!

  10. I must say we are chicken lovers over here! We raise and process our own :) Yours looks very tasty! Will have to give that recipe a try soon! And the pitcher was a great purchase!

  11. I like chicken - always have. I am having grocery store rotisserie chicken tonight. I'm working far from home, and after a day of interviews with clients I just wanted to kick off my shoes and be alone. A market salad and a bottle of sparkling water - better than any restaurant meal!

  12. You may be the first person I've met who doesn't like chicken! What a revelation! No turkey either? Fascinating!

    Say, love that mug shot! Haven't seen it until now.

  15. We eat a lot of chicken and I love turkey! What Louis Dean would REALLY like to eat more of is BEEF!! Remember that Wendy's commercial? "Where's the BEEF?"
    I am in Quadville as I write. I'm about to go to bed ......but find that NOW I'm HUNGRY!!!
    You should put a disclaimer on your food post!!! 'Do NOT view if you are prone to hunger afterwards!!'

  16. Very funny, I love their creative compositions with chicken! Beautiful photos!

  17. Love that pitcher! The only one that I have that is the size I really like is a clear one. I have a thing about white stuff and would be using that one day in and day out.

    I am going to try the chicken the way you cooked it. It looks exactly as easy as I like things to be. Did you marinate it first?

    (And I stand with your Governor in what he did and also what he is TRYING to do.)

  18. Hi BJ,

    Unlike you, I love chicken, and your recipe sounds very tasty! I need to see if we have the coating mix here on the island, and if we do, will definitely be cooking this up! Thanks for sharing!

  20. I hear the world has just as many people as there are chickens. Good thing not everyone wants chicken every night

  23. Oh wow bj..you are an awesome cook.

    I always cook by recipes.

    They usually turn out good, but sometimes they are a flop.

    I love that rooster and know a friend who collects them.

    Have a great weekend!

  27. I already drooled over this chicken, but I don't see a comment from me ;(

    Must have been dazed and confused!? Looks yummy, I like the way you present your images!!

  28. Waaaaay back at my freshman orientation they served chicken that wasn't fully cooked. (Yech.) Well, it was another 30 years before I'd try it again ... on purpose. Now - particularly given the price of beef - I love it. This recipe sounds perfect to keep nearby when my SIL comes to visit.

  29. I grew up on fried chicken as we raised our on. We eat more chicken around here as I am not a beef eater but I don't fry it anymore. Love chicken salads and baked chicken so this recipe is one to try. Your pictures make everything look so pretty.
    Thanks.

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
