Crumby Chicken

It may have been a fluke but my birdie eaters all devoured this and my husband said it was good too! Not just a kid pleaser!
4-6 Chicken Breast or tenders if desired ( I cut into bite sized pieces)
1 cup bread crumbs (plain or seasoned) ( I had plain)
1/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup butter, melted
1-2 cloves garlic, minced ( Iused garlic salt since I had no cloves that day)

Preheat oven to 350* . Mix bread crumbs and cheese in a pie pan or similar container. On a separate plate mix the melted butter with the garlic. Dip chicken into butter/garlic mixture, coating thouroughly, and then place into crub cheese mixture coating it completely. Place breaded chicken onto baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Repeat for all other chicken breasts. Pour any remaining butter and crumb mixture onto the tips of the chicken. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until done. Served with baked potatoe and salad. Ranch and BBQ sauce to dip if desired!

Easy Beef or Chicken Marinate

1/2 C. worcheshire sauce
1/2 C. lime juice
1/2 C. La Victoria Taco Sauce (we like mild)
1 large clove garlic minced

I like to use this with pork chops in the crock-pot, then serve with rice and sauted veggies. I have also done it with pork or beef spare ribs. It's good with pita pockets and sauted veggies too. Depending on the cut of meat and your crockpot, the time varies. I usually buy pork chops from Costco and cook it on high for 2-3 hours then on low another 2-3 hours until very tender.

If you need more sauce to cover your meat in the crockpot, then just add 1/4 C. of each ingredient at a time until desired amount.

Easy BBQ Bake Pork Chops

I found this recipe on-line and it is so easy!!!! Very good too.

5 Pork Chops
salt and pepper
BBQ Sauce
Onion

Put about one inch of water in bottom of pan, add a layer of chopped onion in water. Salt and pepper each chop and place on top of onion. Add a few more onions on top of pork chops and then add water to cover. (I used dehydrated onions and it tasted wonderful)

Bake at 450 F for about 1 hour. When nearly done, remoe from oven, drain liquid and pour BBQ sauce over meat evenly. Return to oven for about 3-5 minutes on broil or long enough to brown BBQ sauce.
