FABULOUS CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large non-stick frying pan, heat oil and cook onions until almost soft. Add garlic and mushrooms, cook til mushrooms soften. Set aside and keep warm.
• Chop chicken into bite sized pieces Brown chicken in hot pan, adding more oil if required.
• Add onion, garlic and mushroom mixture back to pan. Stir in chicken broth and Italian herbs.
• Cover and cook for 20 minutes, simmering over low heat.
• Add sour cream, thickened cream and bacon, stir through until warmed, DO NOT boil as it will separate. Just heat it gently for a few minutes until the flavours blend.
• For a change, add broccoli pieces in the last few minutes of cooking, or green beans, corn niblets -- serve over pasta if you like or as a dish on it's own. A definite favourite at my house!

CANDY BAR BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Grind assorted chocolate bars in your food processor until they are small enough to fit through your icing tip and you have ½ cup of crushed chocolate bars.
• Melt your three chocolate squares in the microwave, slowly and carefully until they are liquidy smooth. Set aside to cool.
• Whip the butter in your mixer until it's light and fluffy.
• Add in the cocoa, beating until combined.
• When the chocolate is cool, add it to the butter. Make sure it's cooled!!
• Add the instant coffee to one tablespoon of cream, then add to the butter mixture.
• Now you can put in the icing sugar one cup at a time, beating until combined.
• Adjust the thickness/texture by using another tablespoon of cream, adding it slowly until the texture you want is achieved.
• Beat in the chocolate bars until they are mixed through.
• Refrigerate the icing once it's on cupcakes or keep in a cool place until served that day.

FABULOUS CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Place chicken breasts in baking dish.
• 2. Top with cheese.
• 3. Mix soup and juice together and pour on top of cheese.
• 4. Mix dressing mix with butter and pour over soup. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
• 5. I substitued Gerber's pear juice once because it comes in a tiny bottle and I didn't want to buy a big bottle of white grape juice and it turned out great. I also discovered that Lipton Herb and Garlic soup mix is MUCH cheaper than the dressing mix and so I added 1/2 package of soup mix instead of a package of dressing mix.
