David's Chicken

This is one of the meals that David makes for us, and I love it. (Not only that David is the one doing the cooking, but that it is so darn delicious.) The recipe came from the back of a Betty Crocker Scalloped Potatoes box, and was called "Herb-seasoned Chicken Breast" - but we call it David's Chicken. Yum!

David's Chicken
Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breasts
2 Tbs olive oil or melted butter
3/4 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp dried thyme

Directions:
Place chicken in baking dish. Brush with oil or butter. Mix seasonings together then sprinkle over chicken. Bake chicken about 30 minutes at 425.

About 10 minutes before dinner, cook frozen broccoli florets as tirected. Toss with 1/2 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning. Serve dinner with mashed/scalloped potatoes and broccoli.

Meatballs and Gravy

I've been looking for a meatball recipe like this for a long time. I love sweet and sour meatballs, but David doesn't love them as much - so I wanted to find a meatball recipe that we could both enjoy. I love the meatball-ness and gravy-ness and mashed potato-ness. And lucky for me, David loves it, too!

Meatballs and Gravy
Source: Howe to Cook

Ingredients:

Meatballs
1 lb. hamburger
1 egg
1/4 c. bread crumbs
2 T dehydrated or minced onion
salt and pepper, to taste

Gravy
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 pkg. brown gravy mix
milk

Directions:
In a bowl, combine raw hamburger, egg, bread crumbs, and onion.  Add salt and pepper.
Using your hands, mix the meat mixture together, roll into golf ball-sized balls, and drop onto a baking sheet. Broil meat for 8-10 minutes, turn meatballs over, and broil for another 8-10 minutes. When the meatballs are browned, transfer them to a casserole dish.

For the gravy, mix together soup and gravy packet. Add some milk to thin it a little bit. Pour gravy mixture over meatballs, and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until soup is bubbly.

Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.
