Saturday Dinner ( a recipe if you don't know what to fix tonight)

I have this terrible habit of trying out new recipes when we have guests. Usually it turns out ok, but there have been some flops.

This past Tues. we had a couple in for a quick dinner before they went on their way to care group. I'd had a full day and was trying to find something quick and easy, but nice. I thought I'd share this recipe with you because I know how busy you all are, and if you are like me you can always use another way to prepare chicken. This comes from one of those "tried and true" church recipe books (this one from the SG church in Pittsburgh - thank you Bethany).

Easy Ranch Chicken

6 chicken breasts
1 cup ranch dressing
4 Tbs. flour
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1. Mix ranch dressing and flour together
2. Coat chicken breasts with mixture and sprinkle with cheddar cheese
3. Bake for 20 minutes at 375

** Now here's the thing: I always improvise a bit. I didn't have prepared ranch dressing, so I stirred together some dry ranch dressing mix and the flour. It tasted great. I have a 16 oz. container of the dressing that I bought at BJs. It is a good staple to have in the pantry. The powdered dressing has no fat, so you really are eating a low-fat version of the recipe. You probably only need a 1/2 cup of the dry Ranch.
** I didn't have chedder cheese on hand so I used a little shredded provolone. The chicken turned a golden brown.

Enjoy!
