March 15 - March 21

I found a great recipe for chicken and breasts are on sale this week at FC. I've also included a recipe for a side dish to boot. Here's this week's dinner, hope you enjoy!

Roasted Pineapple and Thyme Chicken Breasts

2 lb boneless, skinless, chicken breast (3.98 per lb.)
olive oil
salt
pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, diced
15.5 oz. can pineapple ($1.00)
2 teaspoons thyme, dried
scant 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or you could use brown sugar)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan and saute onions for about 8 minutes. After onions have sauteed, place chicken in preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, add pineapple and thyme to sauteed onions and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes or until reduced to about 1/2 stirring occasionally. When pineapple juice mixture has reduced to 1/2 cup, add maple syrup, soy sauce, pepper and salt. Continue to boil for about 2 - 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove chicken from oven and brush with a generous amount of the sauce. Return to oven and continue roasting for about 15 - 2o more minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from oven and serve with remaining sauce.

Crispy Parmesan Potatoes

1 bag Simply Potatoes Homestyle Slices ($2.00) - or dice up regular potatoes
3 - 4 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs (or place toast in food processer and add your own seasonings)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Spread on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 30 to 40 minutes. Turn occasionally so they don't burn. The potatoes should be tender and lightly browned.

Total for dinner is $4.98 to $6.98 - depending on whether you bought Simply Potatoes or used your own.

Have a great week and happy shopping!
