Chicken Italian Style

Image
I tried this recipe a long time ago. I've updated it a bit, and it tastes even better. Chicken Italian Style 1 Tb. olive oil 1 lb. chicken thighs, boneless and skinless 1/2 lb. mushrooms, quartered 1 clove garlic, minced 1 10 oz. pkg. frozen green beans 1 red bell pepper, sliced 1 16 oz. can Italian tomatoes 1/2 tsp. Tabasco In medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Pat chicken dry then season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken until browned on all sides, then remove to a plate. In the skillet, cook mushroom and garlic until tender. Return chicken to skillet, adding green beans, bell pepper, and undrained tomatoes. Add Tabasco sauce to taste. Cook until boiling, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for 15 minutes over low heat, or until chicken and vegetables are tender. Serves 4. Great over rice or with pasta.

Ohio Buckeyes

My mom used to make this candy and I loved it. She added "1/4 stick paraffin" to the melted chocolate, but I don't think that's necessary. It won't hurt you if you do it and it does make the chocolate glossier. But if you want your chocolate to melt more smoothly, add 1 tsp. heavy cream to the chocolate chips. Ohio Buckeyes 2 1/2 lbs. powdered sugar 1 lb. butter, softened 2 c. peanut butter 2 c. chocolate chips Cream butter until fluffy. Add peanut butter and beat thoroughly. Add powdered sugar. Chill for 1 hour, then roll into 1-2 inch balls. Chill again.  Melt 1 large pkg (2 c.) chocolate chips. Dip the candy into the melted chocolate so 1/2 of the ball is covered. Chill on wax paper until set.
