Baked BBQ Chicken and Pineapple Sub

-

I wanted something easy and quick for supper and I had some fresh pineapple and chicken tenders in the fridge that needed to be used. I had picked up Baguette loaf at the grocery store for another purpose but decided to use it for this instead. It turned out very tasty and went well with a salad for a reasonably quick meal.  I sauteed the chicken in olive oil with peppers and onions for flavor but removed the veggies before assembling the sandwich because this is how my family prefers it, but it would be wonderful with green and red peppers and sweet onions along with the pineapple. Yum!

chicken tenders, cut into 1 inch pieces
onions
pepper strips
olive oil
fresh pineapple chunks
1 clove garlic, minced
Roasted Garlic and Herb seasoning
sea salt
Sweet Baby Rays Original BBQ Sauce
Cheese of your choice
1 Baguette Loaf

Saute' veggies in oil for a few minutes then add the chicken and cook until no longer pink, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking. Drain. Add a bit more olive oil to the pan and saute' the pineapple and garlic then add the chicken and coarsely chop.


 
Add the seasonings and BBQ sauce (just enough to make the mixture stick together), Cut the Bauette in half, I kinda cut a v into it, put a layer of cheese on the inside.Pile on the chicken mixture the top with more cheese and the bread top.

Bake, covered, at 350° until heated through and the cheese is melted. Approximately 20-25 minutes.

Cut ito serving size pieces and serve with extra BBQ sauce.

    What a lovely sandwich. I know I'd love it, but like you, I'd want to serve it with the peppers. It's a shame your family doesn't enjoy them. Ah, well! Life would be boring indeed if we all liked the same things :-). I hope you have a great weekend. Blessings...Mary

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
