  1. I would give this 4.5 stars if I could! It's really great! I just had to add more seasoning for my taste (onion powder,paprika, and alittle more garlic and salt) but GREAT turn out I love them! Great to serve with some veggies on the side! Thank you!
     
  2. Wow!! Everyone needs to try this delicious low calorie dish! Absolutely amazing! I just cut the chicken breasts in half, instead of making nuggets. And I added a few seasonings-accent, onion powder, and season salt. I doubled the recipe first time trying it and baked in 13x9 greased glass baking dish at 400 for thirty minutes flipping three times. Very moist and yummy! My brother (who never cooks) asked for the recipe to give to his wife! lol Definately a people pleaser!
     
  3. We liked this as a quick healthy meat choice. Still felt it was a little bland - next time will add more garlic, and paprika and chili powder. This is a keeper.
     
  4. There was a little too much garlic powder in these for both me and my husband. And we are fans of garlic. I cut the garlic down to 1/8 tsp and added 1 tsp dried orange zest. The orange zest definately gave it that little something extra. I bake mine 10 minutes, flip them, and bake them 10 minutes more. That way, the don't end up soggy on the bottom.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Ontario and work full time as a consultant in IT for a communication company in another province. I create test cases and scripts and initiate the testing for the software changes that the programmers make to the company’s various programs. I have the pleasure of working from my home and dialling into their network. I also sell Avon for fun. I met my husband (Paul) on a blind date. We dated 3 years and have been married for 25 years. We have two children a son(age 20) and a DD(age 17). We have been blessed with the best two kids anyone could ask for. DH is a commerical airline pilot and currently is a "Check Pilot" on the A320. He is away quite a bit, so when he comes home I try to make sure he has a decent meal. He eats out when on the road so he really enjoys a good home cooked meal when he arrives home, while the rest of us want to go and eat out. I love to spend time in my garden, travel and try new recipes. DH and I love to travel or just spend time at a cottage in the summer. I have not been on a cruise but hope to within the next 2 years (maybe for our 25th wedding anniversary.) We pretty much eat anything. DH especially loves seafood (more than I do.) while I prefer to eat chicken. We are so predicable when ordering our meal at a restaurant. Next, I think it would have to be Italian and then something spicy like Thai or Indian. My family loves Indian food but I have never had the courage to make it. Maybe I will someday. I like to read true stories and criminal books. David Baldacci is one of my favourite authors. My favorite restaurant is "Bin 23", "Einsteins Cafe," "Abberfolye Mill" My brother sent me the link to Recipezaar and now I am hooked trying new recipes every day. I don't think I will buy another cook book. <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/37305/candyswap.jpg"> <img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj240/marienixon_715/kittencaljpg.jpg"> <a href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"><img border="0" src="http://cb.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=2232760&c=6698593" alt="frontpage widget"></a><a href="http://www.4computercoupons.com">Buy Laptop</a> <a href="http://www.4computercoupons.com/dell-coupons.html">Computer</a>
