Every other Tuesday of each month, 11am session (lunch after in cafeteria).
1st Thursday of each month, 7pm session.
1 bottle of Russian dressing
1/2 envelope of Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast or substitute whatever parts you like
The sauce ingredients make enough sauce for several pounds of chicken. You can make as much or as little as you need. Obviously, the more you make, the cheaper per serving. Mix together the jam, dressing, and soup mix in a large bowl. Spread it over the chicken. Pour all the mixture into a large baking pan. Set the chicken in the mixture.
Cook the chicken in the sauce, and baste it while cooking at 350 degrees until done. This can be anywhere from 25- 45 minutes depending on how much chicken and how it is sliced.

chopped rosemary

Preparation:In a saucepan, bring water to a boil, add bouillon (about 2). Add salt and rosemary and stir. Add couscous and remove from heat and allow to sit for about 5 minutes.
