Answer 2

I attended a Mother Daughter Banquet for Mother's Day that was a catered event. The menu included Catalina Chicken, baked potato with all the trimmings, Italian style green beans, tossed salad, corn and roll. It was the first time I had ever had the Catalina Chicken, and I was very impressed with how flavorful and moist it was -- especially while being served to 100 + ladies.

I tracked down the caterer and got the recipe from her:
For 10 Boneless Chicken Breasts, combine 8 ounces Catalina Salad Dressing with 1 envelope dry onion soup mix and 1 16 ounce can whole cranberry sauce. Marinate 2 hours in glass dish or large plastic bag. You can cook in the marinade, or remove and baste chicken while cooking (I have made it at home cooking in the marinade and it is good - very moist). Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Answer 3

CHICKEN EN CASSEROLE (this recipe can be made for any number of people so just double, triple, quadruple, etc.)

3 large chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces (thighs will do - my mom likes the thighs better)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c butter
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
3/4 c Sauterne (can use water or chicken broth in place of this)
1 (5 oz) can sliced water chestnuts
1 (3 oz) can sliced mushrooms
2 T chopped green pepper
1/4 tsp thyme
2 glugs of dry sherry (or water or chicken broth)

Lightly season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown slowly in butter in skillet. Arrange browned chicken in a sprayed baking dish. For sauce add the undiluted soup to the drippings in the skillet. Slowly add the Sauterne stirring until smooth. Add remaining ingredients. Heat to a boil. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover with foil and bake at 350º for 25 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 25-30 minutes more until chicken is tender. Serve with rice. Broccoli is also good with this.

Answer 4

Buy boneless, skinless of your choice cut and put in a baking dish, or many haha, and add Italian Dressing, about 1/2 to one cup for one dish. Cover with foil and bake one hour at 350. You can use the dressing as a dip and to put on potatoes and other vegies. Tastes great and no need to salt or pepper the chicken, the seasonings in the dressing are all you need! You can use bone in chicken, just take off the skins before baking.

Answer 6

Dang, that was going to be my answer too! Margarita Chicken always went over well at the restaurant.

In a large pan (or several ziplocks) pour in olive oil, OJ, garlic, tequila, and some lime juice. And add some chopped green onions. (Sorry I don't have measurements, I always just did it by the look.) Sock it in the fridge for a few hours, turning once or twice.

When time comes to grill, just discard the marinade. My customers loved it.

Answer 7

get some chicken breast, season and grill them. in a slow cooker add a couple of cans of cream of mushroom (prepare as shown on the can) and place the chicken in the slow cooker with the soup. let it cook for like 2 hours, so the chicken gets the flavor of the soup plus it make the chicken tender

it cheap and easy and GOOD!!!
