Dewberry Cobbler

This was yummy! These were some of our handpicked dewberries:)

I adapted another cobbler recipe for this. The only change I'd make if I made this again was to make it in a smaller pan because the berry layer was so thin.

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 package refrigerated pie crusts
3 1/2 cups frozen unthawed dewberries
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg white
2 tablespoons water

Stir together the sugar, flour, butter and vanilla.
Gently stir in blackberries.
Spoon blackberry mixture into a lightly greased 11 x 7 baking dish.
Cut the piecrust into strips and arrange on top of blackberry mixture.
Mix together the egg white and water.
Brush the pie crust strips with this egg wash.
Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake at 425 for 45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and blackberries are bubbly.

Garlic Cheese Chicken Rollups

This was fantastic! Definitely have to double this recipe if we make it again though!!! I messed up and mixed the butter and cheese together...then just melted more butter and it worked fine...can't have too much butter, right? LOL

Shar made this before and that's where I got the recipe. You can see hers here.

INGREDIENTS

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1 cup dried bread crumbs, seasoned

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 (7 ounce) package herb & garlic cheese spread

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Pound chicken breasts until thinned out. In a shallow dish or bowl mix together bread crumbs and cheese. Dip one side of each breast into melted butter or margarine, then into crumb/cheese mixture. Place a dollop of cheese spread at one end of each chicken breast, on the side of the breast not dipped in the mixture. Roll up each breast and secure with toothpicks.Place rollups in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish and drizzle any remaining butter or margarine over all. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear.

Chicken and Asparagus Fettucine

Wow this was freaking awesome! I looooove fettucine alfredo and the asparagus in it was just perfect. It got rave reviews all around so I'll definitely have this on my list to make again!

Cheesy One-Pot Chicken Cacciatore

The kids and I liked it. I'd love to try it again with a few changes. I'd use a little less water and instead of a can of tomatoes I'd use two cans of rotel. Yum!

2 1/2 cups water
2 zucchinis, chopped
1 small onion, chopped

Green Olive Baked Chicken

I picked this out of Lissa's week because we love olives.  Hunter quite liked it! I thought it was pretty good too. I would have liked it in a wrap but there were no leftovers so that didn't happen.

Green Olive Baked Chicken

1/2 cup pitted green olives

1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Cracked black pepper

4 chicken breast fillets
Preheat the oven to 390 degrees F. Place the olives, parsley, lemon juice and pepper into a small food processor and process until roughly chopped. Line a baking dish with baking paper. Place the chicken in the dish and spread over the green olive paste. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Serve hot or cold with lemon wedges and a simple tomato and basil salad.

Tee sent this recipe and it is delicious! The kids had a different dinner but I will definitely have this again! Bruschetta chicken is still my favorite but this is definitely a close second for chicken meals.
