Chicken with Broccoli & Onions

I had onions, broccoli and chicken thawed out, so I made a chicken casserole. Just about any vegetables will do, but I used what I had onhand. I always use cream of chicken or mushroom soup, but this time I used cream of mushroom with roasted garlic soup. It was delicious. I use garlic in just about everything I cook, so I knew I'd like the garlic and mushroom flavor together. The white wine and seasonings on the chicken really brought out all the wonderful flavors.

6 to 8 pieces of chicken (drumsticks and/or thighs)
Salt and pepper
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp chicken seasoning
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup of chopped onions
2 cups of fresh or frozen broccoli
1 (10 3/4 oz) can of cream of mushroom with roasted garlic soup

Directions:
Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Place in a casserole dish, then sprinkle remaining seasonings on top. Place bay leaf in the middle of the dish under chicken. Pour wine over chicken, cover and marinate 30 minutes or overnight. Place onions and broccoli on top of chicken, then spread soup on top. Bake at 375 degrees for one hour. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Chicken Hawaiian

If you like bell peppers, pineapples, and chicken, you'll love this dish. It's tangy, slightly sweet, and simple to make.

Chicken Hawaiian

2 tbsp vegetable oil
6 to 8 pieces of chicken (drumsticks and thighs)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 10 3/4 oz can cream of chicken soup
1 20 oz can pineapple chunks (reserve juice)
Or 2 Cups fresh pineapple
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp soy sauce

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Add chicken and brown on both sides for 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside. Add garlic, onions, and bell pepper. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add soup, pineapples, juice, and brown sugar. Mix together. Add chicken and heat to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer about 20 to 30 minutes, or until sauce thickens. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Note: For a more colorful dish, use green, red, and yellow bell peppers. Drumettes, or pork or beef spareribs may be substituted for chicken.
