We love this recipe! It's so good and extremely EASY to prepare. Also, you can change it up by using different types of dressing or cranberries. I will display the original recipe below and then show how I make it.
1 Lg. bottle of French or Catalina dressing
2 cans whole cranberries in sauce
2 pkgs Dry onion soup mix
5-6 chicken breasts or 10-12 breast tenderloins
Mix first 3 ingredients to make sauce. Arrange chicken in 9X13 pan (or you can cut chicken breast into bite size pieces and add to sauce). Pour sauce over chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or cook in a crock pot.
* My version- I half the recipe since there are only 3 of us. But this does make great leftovers!
1/2 bottle Honey French or Creamy French dressing.
1 can of jellied cranberry sauce (so good and adds a sweetness to the sauce)
1 pkg Dry onion soup mix
3-4 chicken breasts
I cook this in a crock pot so my oven doesn't need to be on for and hour and a half- I don't need any more heat-up in this top floor condo! I cook it for about 3-4 hours and the chicken is wonderfully tender. WE SERVE OURS OVER RICE~ DIVINE!!!!!!

bread/pizza
I love this recipe it never fails and tastes great! Soy lecithin is the "secret" ingredient...it stores indefinitely and would be great for your food storage item. When I make it I half it (my mixer only can hold 6 Cups of flour...bummer) but for dinner I'll make pizza with half the dough and the other half I'll make cinnamon rolls. The recipe is as follows:
10 1/2 c bread flour (I use wheat sometimes)
1/2 c sugar
1 T salt
3 T SAF instant yeast (it is important to use saf so you don't have to let it cure, you just throw it in with the other ingredients)
3 T liquid lecithin (do not measure it's too sticky eyeball 4 quarter size globs)
4 c water
Mix dry ingredients and yeast add lecithin and water. Mix for 1 min. and check consistency. If dough is too dry add more water. Dough should be very sticky. Mix for 5 min. on high. Do NOT add anymore flour after! Spray counter and pan with Pam. Shape loves and cover with a dish towel. Let raise for 25 min.
bake at 350 degrees for 25 min. for bread loaves but 12-15 min for rolls or cinnamon rolls.
pizza bake @ 400 degrees for 12 min. do not let raise.

Crepes
I've been making this recipe since I was 15 and have always loved it! Very easy!
1 1/2 c flour
1 T sugar
1/2 tsp baking pwdr
1/2/ tsp salt
2 c milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 T butter (melted)
Combine flour, sugar, bkg pwdr, and salt. Stir in the rest of ingredients and beat.
Heat skillet and spray. Pour a small amount of batter and then tilt pan to help spread it around. Flip over when top side thickens.
After removing the crepes from the skillet I fold them in quarters and serve them that way. I love them with a little butter, homemade strawberry jam, and a dusting of powdered sugar for breakfast. Also works as a dessert with ice cream and hot fudge!

Blueberry Crumb Muffins
These have got to be some of the yummiest muffins I've had in a long time. Since blueberries have been on sale lately, I've made them 3 times in the past 2 weeks... and so far, no one has complained. I always have intentions of freezing a few for a rainy day as well, but they never seem to last. I got the recipe from my new favorite recipe blog (aside from our own, of course) called My Kitchen Cafe (http://mykitchencafe.blogspot.com). You have seriously got to check it out! In the mean time, whip up a batch of these muffins and you're sure to please everyone.
Muffins:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup milk
2 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (I only use about 1 1/2 cups).
Crumb topping:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray 12-cup muffin tin with flavorless oil spray or line with paper liners (I actually got about 15 muffins out of the recipe). In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk well. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and set on medium-high speed, beat the butter and granulated sugar for 4 to 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until the egg is incorporated before adding the next one, and then beat in the vanilla.
Add the milk, alternating it with the dry ingredients, in 2 or 3 additions. Do not overmix. Fold in the berries using a spatula. To make the crumb topping, combine the butter, sugars, cinnamon, salt and flour and mix with a fork or pastry blender until crumbly.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Top each with a generous tablespoon of the crumb topping. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of one comes out clean. Let the muffins cool slightly in the muffin tin set on wire racks before removing.

Kraft Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken
This is a Kraft recipe that is so easy, but still really yummy! I personally prefer to boil and shred the chicken instead of frying it... or if I'm in a real hurry, I'll just put some chicken nuggets in the oven, cut them into strips, and place on top of the pasta.
1/2 lb. fettuccine, uncooked
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1-1/4 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 tsp. flour
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, cubed
3 Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
1/4 tsp. garlic powder (I like to double this)
1/4 tsp. pepper
COOK pasta as directed on package.
MEANWHILE, heat large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 5 to 7 min. or until chicken is done, stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet. Mix broth and flour in same skillet. Stir in Neufchatel cheese, 2 Tbsp. Parmesan, garlic powder and pepper; cook 2 min. or until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly with whisk. Stir in chicken.
DRAIN pasta; place in large bowl. Add chicken mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
