Just-Like-Thanksgiving-Chicken (Oamc Dump)

"Every time I make this, my husband swears it smells and tastes like Thanksgiving dinner. I suppose it could be made with Turkey cutletts to be even closer, but I've always used chicken."

directions

  • TO MAKE IN A PAN:

  • Place the chicken breasts (still frozen) on the bottom of the pan.
  • Layer the apples, sweet potatoes, and onion on top.
  • Sprinkle on the nuts and craisins.
  • Place one pat of butter on each breast.
  • Mix the maple syrup and poultry seasoning together and drizzle on top.
  • TO MAKE IN A BAG:

  • Put everything except the maple syrup, poultry seasoning, and butter into a ziplock bag.
  • Melt the butter and combine with poultry seasoning and maple syrup.
  • Put these in a little bowl and freeze separately (in the bag).
  • When ready to cook, dump the bag out and then pour the (thawed) syrup butter mix on top.
  • To cook: Thaw. Cook covered in a 350 oven for 30-45 minutes. I confess I normally skip the thaw step and put it in the oven.

  1. This was really good. I made one to bake right away, and one to freeze for later. The only thing I would change is to spread a little of the syrup/seasoning mixture onto the chicken breasts before layering the other ingredients. The chicken was bland, but I think this would help. I made a green bean casserole to go with this, and everything really did taste and smell like thanksgiving! Thanks for a tasty and easy recipe.
     
  2. I put this into three dollar store foil pans for the freezer. My son first tried his and reported back that it was great. My honey and I had this for supper and the chicken was super moist. I left out the nuts and berries, but made it exactly as recipe was written otherwise. Next time, due to my personal preference, I would add more poultry seasoning. We had corn on the side and I would throw that right in the baking pan next time as well.
     
  3. I forgot to add the berries and nuts (scatterbrained) but it still tasted great. I really liked the sweet potato / apple / onion mixture. I cooked it without freezing, and it took a full 45 minutes, so I imagine it would take longer from frozen.
     
  4. OMG this dish is outstanding! My husband and I both loved the aroma and the taste.
     
  5. I was attracted to this dish because of the low sodium. So glad I gave it a try. We loved it. I will definitely add this to my OMAC list and have already shared it with friends.

my name is susan and i'm the proud momma of 2 boys. after 10 years as a project manager in high tech, i'm now a happy sahm. the boys are only 16 months apart, so i always have my hands full. oldest is "in process" of potty training and youngest is just now sleeping thru the night. <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/155733404-Th.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/155732230-Th.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/155732380-Th.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/155732619-Th.jpg> my husband is Chef #553989. he is my partner in cooking, photographing, raising kids, and every other aspect of life. when hubby travels, i tend to rely on OAMC to make sure i eat well and feel taken care of. <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/13665820-Th.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/297546-Th-2.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/291210-Th-2.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/142205931-Th.jpg> like most mothers of young children, i've seen my share of pb&j and processed toddler friendly foods. i'm slowly but surely returning to my pre-baby roots and beginning to take pride in what i cook again. the big difference is that now things tend to be faster, simpler, and healthier than 5 years ago. the common theme is that flavor and presentation still matter. quality ingredients and visually appealing food really do make a difference. my fall garden has tomatos (fingers crossed), radishes, broccoli, chineese cabbage, and onions. i have rosemary, sage, thyme, catnip, dill, basil, mint, and bay laurel growing in pots for my fresh herbs. zaar has helped me discover a new passion - food photography. the act of photographing my food has altered the way i cook. our food these days is filled with more color and variety, in part because fresh fruits and vegetables make for better photos. and our food is simpler. simple foods are easier to photograph. <img src=http://www.smugmug.com/photos/189413108-Th.jpg> <img src=http://www.smugmug.com/photos/188592339-Th.jpg> <img src=http://www.smugmug.com/photos/184677008-Th.jpg> <img src=http://www.smugmug.com/photos/183997798-Th.jpg> <img src=http://www.smugmug.com/photos/178246284-Th.jpg> <img src=http://www.smugmug.com/photos/178830143-Th.jpg> i've decided i'm not a fan of tea sandwiches and that i can't bake a decent biscuit. i could live the rest of my life without eating octopus again. i don't like to cook with canned soup, i think cool whip is an evil abomination, and i think the only purpose for iodized salt is to de-ice things. crisco has been banned from the house. i have a passion for fresh quality ingredients. i spend extra money for fresh herbs and spices because i believe i can taste the difference. i buy organic when i can, but don't sweat it when i can't. i use whole grains for my kids. i look forward to my occassional trips to central market and specs downtown. i still have a secret fondness for lucky charms and the insides of oreos. i love chocolate, the darker the better. i've never met a stinky cheese i didn't eat. i cook and eat globally... thai, sushi, curry, morroccan, brazilian, french, you name it. but i also cook and eat locally. i'm a texas girl, and that means i grill/bbq when hubby isn't around. i also love chili burgers, chili cheese dogs, frito pies, and a good cold shiner (beer). i could eat tex-mex every day. i'm a confirmed afficianado of cheap wine and the occassional cheap cigar. when i'm not momming, wife-ing, or cooking, i like to read sci fi, scrapbook, watch baseball, or collapse in a general state of exhaustion. but these days, just keeping up with all my zaar games keeps me busy. <img src=http://www.smugmug.com/photos/189989822-Th.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/200234980-Ti.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/202850878-Ti-1.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/203598844-Ti.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/204124662-Ti.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/204124664-Ti.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/204124666-Ti.jpg> <img src=http://sdb.smugmug.com/photos/204124687-S.jpg>
