Two Recipes from the Gang- Cranberry Chicken and Grilled Vegetables

Here are two very yummy blog worthy recipes from the gang out East.  They are both simple, super easy and very tasty.

This first one comes from Jen.  I'm not a huge BBQ fan, but Philly is.  So, this was for him. What a surprise,  I loved it too!  It was more like a sweet sauce instead of BBQ.  It is very sweet and it should be served with plain rice.  I think the next time I make it, I will try the light version of the dressing.  I set it up ahead of time and the oil from the dressing separated a little bit.

Cranberry Chicken

1 can of cranberry sauce

1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix

1 bottle Ken's Country French Dressing

2 lbs. boneless chicken

Mix first 3 ingredients in a bowl.  Put the chicken in 8 x 10 baking dish and pour ingredients on top.  bake at 350 for 45 or until bubbly.


The only thing I need to say about this next recipe is.....Philly took seconds!  Thank you Katie!  Vegetables aren't his thing, especially green ones.  He loved these.

Grilled Vegetable Marinade

1/4 c. vegetable oil

3 T lemon juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)

1 tsp dry basil

1/2 tsp dry thyme

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 pepper

2 cloves of garlic chopped

Pour over your favorite sliced vegetables (a yummy combination is zucchini, onions, red bell peppers).  Marinade for 30 minutes minimum and then grill.
