Chicken in a Pot-Amy

I LOVE this recipe! It is so simple and flavorful, especially if you opt to use the chicken broth. It takes no time to make and is really easy to adjust for 2 people. Easy to make into a Chicken Noodle Soup without the "noodle" part.

3 pound chicken, whole or cut up (I like to use chicken breasts)
2 celery stalks with leaves, cut into one inch pieces
2 carrots, sliced
2 onions, sliced
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp basil
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup water or chicken broth

1) Put vegetables in the bottom of a crock pot. Add chicken and sprinkle with remaining ingredients.
2) Cover and cook until done. Low for 7-10 hours. High for 2.5 to 3.5 hours using an extra 1 cup water.
3) Remove chicken and vvegetables from juice and serve!

Chicken and Apple Curry-Amy

So, this recipe sounds absolutely gross, but it is so good. It's great to use up old apples and awesome if you have people in your house who don't like onions. While this uses lots of onions, you really can't taste them. Obviously, you can cut this recipe by half or even in four.

3 TBS butter
2 small onion, chopped
2 apples peeled, cored and finely chopped
3 TBS all-purpose flour
1 TBS curry powder
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup hot chicken broth
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper, to taste

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2) Saute apple and onion in butter or margarine until tender. Add curry powder and saute 1 minute more. Add flour and continue to cook 1 minute longer. Add stock or broth and milk; stir well.
3) Salt and pepper chicken breasts to taste and lay in a single layer in a 9x13 inch (or larger) baking dish. Pour sauce mixture over chicken breasts and bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until chicken is done.

Sweet and Sour Drumettes-Amy

These are so yummy and so easy!

8 chicken drumettes (I used 4 chicken breasts, cut up)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour for coating
Sauce:
3 TBS soy sauce
3 TBS water
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vinegar

1) Dip chicken in egg beat, then flour. Fry in a large skillet until crispy, about 15 minutes. Drain and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2) To Make Sauce: In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, water, sugar and vinegar. Mix together and pour over chicken.
3) Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear. (I love that you can let this cook as long as you want. It never dries out because there is so much sauce. I had to cook it longer with the chicken breasts.)
