Make Mrs. Church’s Short’nin Bread from The Junior League

6161

This week, we have some dishes that will be pleasing to your pocketbook.

Shirley Maples’ Hamburger Dish from New Vision’s Feeding the Flock. You will need a pound of hamburger, a box of Au Gratin potatoes, a can of mushroom soup, and a can of French Fried onions.

We have a lovely recipe for you that is a full meal by itself. Lillian Cleghorn shares her Cowboy Soup via Northside Baptist Church’s cookbook.

Marjorie Hobgood’s ham and cheese delight is shared with us through Plains Pot Pourri. It is a good way to utilize some of those leftovers you have after baking a whole ham.

From Paths of Sunshine, Savory Vegetable Casserole looks pleasing to the palate. All the ingredients are frozen or in cans except for the mushrooms.

From Feeding the Flock, we have Swiss Chicken Cutlets from Allison Chase. You can make your own cutlets from chicken breasts according to the recipe below by pounding between sheets of waxed paper.

For a light change of fare, there is Short’nin Bread from Charleston Receipts. It calls for three items: flour, light brown sugar, and butter!

From our friends at the Apopka Citizen Police Alumni Association in their Sharing Our Finest Cookbook, we have Charlene Coell’s Apple Kuchen for you. It calls for a box of yellow cake mix and either canned apple filling or fresh apples. It sounds yummy.

SWISS CHICKEN CUTLETS

Recipe from New Vision
Community Church’s,

2 thin slices Swiss cheese

4 chicken cutlets (4 ounces each), 1/4-inch thick

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon unsalted butter or margarine

1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup dry white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Chopped fresh parsley or fresh oregano sprigs for garnish

Cut each cheese slice in half and place one half on top of each cutlet. Starting with short end, tightly roll up cutlets, jell-roll style. Tie securely with string. On waxed paper, combine flour and pepper. Mix well. Add cutlets and toss gently to coat. In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add cutlets, cook, turning frequently, until golden, about three minutes. Add broth, wine, and dried oregano to skillet. Increase heat, bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, about 10-12 minutes. Place on serving plate and remove string. Garnish with parsley or oregano sprigs. If cutlets are not available, simply pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves between two sheets of waxed paper to a 1/4-inch thickness.
