Kristie's Chicken Spectacular
I goofed and breaded both sides of my chicken breasts. Decided to bake this in an iron skillet coated with a thin film of canola oil. The coating was crispy and delicious! As I really wanted that crispiness, I left off the cheese. My husband and I both enjoyed this and we'll definitely have it again!

Famous Butter Chicken
Very tasty dish! The garlic adds a very nice touch. Make sure not to overcook the chicken so as to keep the juiciness of the meat, and don't put the butter on top of the chicken, just around the sides. The crackers are delicious and I was surprised at how crispy this came out. A definite keeper!

Apple-Raisin French Toast Casserole
I made this for company this weekend. I decided to make 1.5 times the recipe to ensure I had enough. I made one batch in a 9x13 pan and another in an 8x8 pan. I did everything as directed (serves 18 instead of 12) except I used 4 apples and only one stick of butter. I also used 1-1/2 loaves of raisin cinnamon bread. I put this together around 9 pm and popped it in the oven the next morning at 8 for 45 minutes covered. I uncovered the pans and baked for 15 minutes and ended up raising the temperature to 400 degrees for another 10 minutes to get a nice crispiness to the top. I thought it was sweet, but several of my guests had seconds and everyone talked about how great this tasted. The larger pan was the soggier of the two. I tasted from both pans and found I preferred the casserole from the 8x8, which was less soggy. Served this with sausage links, orange juice and coffee. I'll definitely have this again next time we have company.
