When I tried my new recipe Saturday night at the lake (Oriental Chicken), I wasn’t sure if everyone would like it. What if it turned out disastrous and no one wanted to touch it? So, like I often do when I try new recipes, whether it is fish, meat, or chicken, I gave choices. With eight people to serve for dinner, I used two packages of skinless, boneless chicken (3 per package). On one skillet, I had the Oriental Chicken cooking, and in the other, I did the following:
Antoinette's Italian Chicken
Brown chicken in olive oil, season with Good Seasons Italian Dressing (I always stock my cabinets with this – it’s great in spaghetti or lasagna sauce.)
Pour Italian Fat Free Salad Dressing over the chicken (approx. 1/4th the bottle – maybe one cup?)
Simmer in this dressing until the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer to broiler pan – slice some onions (and green pepper if you have it) and throw it on to the pan, too.
Broil until it looks done – lightly browned.
I served with this meal:
A plate full of potatoes that I had put in the microwave for about 20 minutes. When they were done, I cut them in quarters, sprinkled them with salt and pepper.
Fresh tomatoes, sliced.
A dish of chicken rice-a-roni
Yoder’s Amish peaches (everyone loves these – I only wished I’d had cottage cheese to serve.)
My husband loved the Oriental Chicken best; Rachel liked the Italian Chicken best. It was a win-win. However, there was some Italian Chicken left on the platter – so I froze what was left and will use it in a future recipe.

Jun. 3, 2008 - Hello
It has been an exceptionally cool and wet Spring for us. We had a few days in the 80's in May, but it was a fluke, really. Our Summer around here usually doesn't start until after the 4th of July.
Your chicken recipe sounds very appealing. I like that it can be prepared quickly and without a lot of time spent in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing it. I hope to give it a try. Do you season the chicken with the packaged mix of Good Seasons, or do you use the bottled dressing, or both?
Your family picture is beautiful! Hope your Spring is going fabulously!
Blessings~
