Savory Chicken Kabobs

My family really enjoyed these. Be sure and make them ahead of time so they can soak up the flavor of the marinade. Also, soak your wooden skewers in water so they don't catch on fire.

1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1/4 c. olive oil
2 Tbsp. peanut butter
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 lb. chicken tenderloins or breast chunks

Place all the ingredients in a ziploc bag and mix it around until the chicken is well coated in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least an hour and up to overnight. Grill until the chicken is cooked through.

Angel Chicken

So this recipe has been making the rounds on pinterest. Angel chicken originally came from the Cleverly Inspired blog. It looked yummy and even better, it's a crock pot recipe. The recipe is simple and it was very good. I would recommend eating it on rice after we tried it both ways. The sauce is a little runny and the rice soaks it up better than noodles. I changed the recipe slightly for what I had and use regularly.

3 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut in half

16 ounces of fresh button mushrooms, quartered

1/4 cup butter

1 0.7-oz. pkg. Italian dry salad dressing mix

1 10-3/4-oz. can condensed mushroom soup with garlic

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 of an 8-oz. tub cream cheese spread with chives and onion

Hot cooked rice or angel hair pasta

Melt the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add in the Italian dressing and mix well. Then stir in the soup, broth and cream cheese until it is all melted together. Quarter the mushrooms and place them on the bottom of the crock pot. Next place the chicken breasts on top of the mushrooms. Then pour the sauce over the top of the chicken. Cook on low for five hours. Serve over hot rice or noodles.
