Chicken Paprika

This is from a booklet of recipes from our previous wards' Home, Family and Personal Enrichment Evenings.

Brinn says it is her new 2nd favorite dish.

4-5 lbs chicken
1 1/2 cups water*
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 medium tomatoes peeled and chopped*
1 green pepper -diced
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 Tbsp paprika
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp oregano
salt and pepper to taste

***I used a quart of stewed toatoes in place of the water and chopped tomatoes***

Combine and cook in crokpot 4 to 5 hours or more (depending on desired tenderness).
Remove chicken.
Mix approximately 1/4 cup flour with 1/4 cup water as thickening agent.
Add this to sauce in crockpot.
Mix in about 8 0z container sour cream.
Put chicken back into the sauce.

I served over noodles and steamed cauliflower as a side. Tasty!

Ice Cream Dessert

This is a recipe from my mother-in-law--Mark doesn't like nuts/coconut so I just add more rice krispies.

1 cube butter, melted
1 C. brown sugar
1 C. coconut
1 C. nuts(my mother-in-law uses pecans)
2 C. rice krispies

1/2 gal ice cream(usually vanilla)

1 pkg danish dessert
frozen raspberries

Mix first set of ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Press firmly into a
9x13 pan reserving 1/3 cup for the top.

Soften the ice cream( I like to let it stand a little on the counter, then put into a large bowl and kind of mash it until it's spreadable)and spread gently on top of the crust.
Sprinkle reserved crumbs for top.
Freeze.

Make the danish dessert according to the package stirring in the raspberries.

To serve cut out squares and then pour danish dessert on the top.

Delicious!
