Summer Recipes

[Guest guest]

Summer is almost upon us and I thought maybe we could perhaps exchange a few

nice and easy recipes. Hope you enjoy!

TEXAS TWO-STEP CHICKEN PICANTE

1-1/2 cups Picante sauce

3 T packed light brown sugar

1 T Dijon-style mustard

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

3 cups hot cooked rice

Mix picante sauce, sugar, and mustard. Place chicken breasts in 2-qt. shallow

baking dish. Pour mixture over chicken. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or

until chicken is done. Serve over a bed of rice.

GRILLED MARINADED CHICKEN WINGS

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup orange juice

1 cup soy sauce

1 T crushed garlic

Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Add wings and bring to a boil. Boil

slowly for 15-20 mins. Can be kept in marinade in fridge till ready to

barbecue. Grill for 15 minutes or till nice and crispy. I usually double the

marinade.

Jan,

`I wanted to take a minute to thank you for all the recipes you send. I have

tried a number of them and they are great. I am addicted to the food network

and love to cook. I am going to try the

beef and barley soup you sent awhile ago. Since soup is such a big part of my

diet, I want to try it.
