What's For Dinner?

I don't know about you, but I'm always wondering what to have for dinner. I have found some great recipes in the Simple & Delicious and Kraft Food magazines. Here are two of my new favorites that I have recently tried:

Sweet Citrus Chicken:

1 2/3 cups hot water

1 6oz. package of chicken stuffing mix

6 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 lbs.), pounded to 1/2" thickness

2/3 cup orange juice

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

Preheat oven to 400 deg. Add hot water to stuffing mix: stir just until moistened. Set aside.

Place chicken in 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Mix juice, sugar, and butter until well blended; pour over chicken. Top with prepared stuffing.

Bake 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Serves 6

Orange - Glazed Pork Chops:

1/2 cup orange marmalade

2 Tbsp. orange juice

2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

1 Tbsp. soy sauce

1/2 tsp. minced garlic

4 bone in pork loin chops (1/2" thick and 8 ounces each)

1 tsp. canola oil

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

In a small bowl, combine the marmalade, orange juice, mustard, soysauce, garlic; set aside.

In a large skillet, brown pork chops in oilon both sides over medium-high heat: sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered 10 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160 deg. Remove and keep warm.

Add marmalade mixture to the skillet: bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes or until thickened. Spoon over pork chops. Yields 4 servings!

I hope you enjoy these recipes!!
