Jennifer's Honey Salsa Chicken

Honey Salsa Chicken

1 Tbsp butter

1 onion diced

2 tsp chili powder ( I use less to make it less spicy for kids)

2 Tbsp yellow mustard

1/2 tsp seasoning salt

1/4 c salsa

1/2 c honey

1 Tbsp soy sauce

1 dash tabasco sauce

Put all of this in a pan and simmer on the stove. Place chicken breasts in 9x13 pan. Pour sauce over the chicken and bake at 425 until done. Serve over rice. (I always double the sauce so there is extra to pour over the rice). Very yummy!:

Sonia Lynn's favorite pot roast

After loading the bottom of the crock pot with sliced celery and carrots, I put one good sized roast in the crock pot that I pre-seasoned with salt, pepper and onion flakes.

Then I add one can of Campbell’s Beefy Mushroom soup, one can of Campbell’s Golden Mushroom soup, and one
can of Cream of Mushroom soup and cook on low overnight. Those 3 soups make a greaflavor combination.

If there’s time, I take the liquid out and add it to a saucepan where I asome canned milk to make a gravy.

Then I serve it all with mashed potatoes, rolls and a green salad.
