Sun Dried Tomato and Bacon Chicken

My sister in law Summer was the one to find this great recipe.  Simple, quick and flavorful, my kind of meal.  Like my brother Eric, Mike really liked this as well.  Summer did suggest marinating the chicken in the dressing for a while before cooking it, I would agree.
 I forgot to do that step so mine was only in the marinate for an hour, but the longer the better.  Thanks Summer for a great recipe!



Sun-dried Tomato and Bacon Chicken 

Ingredients :
2 slices (1/2 ounce) bacon
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato vinaigrette dressing (I used 1/2 -3/4 cup)
4 (1 pound) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tomatoes, chopped
About 1/4 Cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped up.
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Cook bacon in a large pan until crisp and drain on paper towel.

Add chicken to large pan and brown on each side for about 2 minutes on regular heat.

Pour sun-dried tomato dressing over chicken and sprinkle with basil. Continue to cook chicken for 8 minutes or until done.

Remove chicken; place on serving dish and keep warm. Save the remaining dressing in the pan and add the chopped tomatoes to the pan cooking until heated through. Stir in the bacon.

Pour tomato mixture onto chicken and top with Parmesan cheese.

6*If you have time marinate your chicken breasts for 4-6 hours in the sun-dried tomato dressing. This will let the flavors infuse the chicken even more.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
