{3} Chicken Breasts With Mushrooms, submitted by Gary Birdsall in San Antonio, Texas, gary.birdsall@att.net
Source: https://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/567/Chicken-Breasts-With-Mushrooms85285.shtml
Comments: If you find yourself in a chicken rut, break out of it with this simple yet outstanding recipe. A herby mushroom sauce is what sets this dish apart..
Yield: 4 servings
Ready In: 30-60 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 pound mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt, to taste
3 cloves garlic (to taste), minced or pressed
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth, or more as needed
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 skinless boneless, chicken breast halves
Chopped fresh parsley, rosemary or thyme leaves for garnish
Directions:
Make the mushroom topping: Slice the mushrooms, or, if they're small, quarter them.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms and about 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. In a couple of minutes, they'll be sizzling and moist.
They're releasing their own water, which will mostly evaporate.
When most of the liquid has evaporated, add the garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
Stir together for about half a minute, until you smell the garlic cooking.
Add the wine and cook, stirring, until most of the wine has evaporated.
Add 1-1/4 cups of the broth, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste. Is there enough flavor? Add more salt or garlic if not. Grind in some pepper and toss.
The mushrooms shouldn't be glazed and the mixture shouldn't be watery; cook a few more minutes if it is.
On the other hand, if it seems dry, add more broth. Keep warm while you cook the chicken breasts.
To pan-cook the chicken: Toss the chicken breasts with the remaining tablespoon of oil.
Heat the grill pan or the skillet you used to cook the mushrooms after cleaning it and drying it over medium-high heat.
Drop a bit of water into the pan; if it sizzles away at once, the skillet is hot enough.
Add the chicken breasts to the pan. Cook until golden, 3-5 minutes per side.
Check one breast to make sure that it is cooked all the way through (it should no longer be pink in the middle).
Remove from the heat and transfer to plates or a platter.
Spoon on the mushroom mixture, sprinkle with the parsley or other herbs, and serve.

{4} Old German Date Cake, submitted by Jodi in Jackson, MO, tigger63755@charter.net
From Susan McClanahan local food editor.
This recipe was also my grandmother's and mom made these every winter.
I absolutely love it.
It keeps very well, wrapped tightly in the refrigerator and makes nice gifts for friends at Christmas.
Mom always wrapped them in plastic wrap then tied them up with red and green curly ribbon and a simple curly bow.
Mom would occasionally add a jar of drained and halved maraschino cherries to the batter before baking.
This cake is delicious sliced and served with whipped cream along side a cup of coffee, or just enjoyed plain, which
is my favorite. It just would not be Christmas at the Kinsey's without this cake.
1 pound package pitted dates
2 cups water
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
4 tablespoon butter, softened
3 cups unsifted flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups whole or broken pecans
Bring to a boil the 1 pound of dates and 2 cups water and let it cook for 2 or 3 minutes very low..
Turn off heat and add 2 teaspoons baking soda and set aside.
Cream together sugar, eggs, and butter.
To this creamed mixture add alternately the flour and salt and the date mixture.
Lastly add vanilla and stir in nuts.
Bake in 2 greased and floured loaf pans, 9 x 4 x 3-inches.
Bake at 325 degrees for an hour or until just done to the touch.
Turn out on rack and cool. Keep in plastic storage bag in the refrigerator.
These also freeze very well.

In another small pot, melt the butter and whisk in the flour.

{21} Zucchini Corn Cakes, submitted by Linda from Long Island
A great recipe that tastes good and has a lot of vegetables hidden inside.
1 lb zucchini (2 large)
1 cup corn kernels (frozen is good)
2 green onions thinly sliced
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp EACH: dried parsley flakes, basil leaves
2 minced garlic cloves
salt, pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
3/4 cup flour
olive oil
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Sriracha
Grate the zucchini using a box grater with large holes.
Using a clean dishtowel, squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
In a large bowl, combine everything except yogurt and Sriracha.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil.
For each pancake, scoop 1/4 cup of batter, flatten to about 1/2 inch and cook until golden (about 2 min per side).
Add more olive oil between batches as needed. Place cooked cakes on a greased (or sprayed) cookie sheet.
Keep cakes warm in the oven until you are ready to serve. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt and the Sriracha.
Serve pancakes with the sauce on the side.
Makes 10-12 pancakes.

{22} Fruit Leather, submitted by Sherril Gerard in Santa Ana, CA, billnsherril@earthlink.com
Although you can use drained canned or frozen fruits for this simple
snack, you'll be happier with the results if you use fresh fruit in season.
1 cup (250 ml) fresh fruit such as peaches, pears, pineapple, cherries, plums, or strawberries
1 cup (250 ml) applesauce
Vegetable oil or cooking spray
Peel the pears, peaches, and pineapple if using. Remove pits and seeds from all, and cut into chunks.
Combine with the applesauce in an electric food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
Spread the puree on a lightly oiled baking sheet and place in a preheated 400F (200C) oven.
Immediately reduce the temperature to 200F (90C) and bake for 2 to 3 hours, until the puree is no longer sticky and can
be peeled from the baking sheet. Cool and store in an airtight container or plastic bag.
Serves 4
