Quick, Easy, Cheap, Dinner Fix!


I needed a quick, easy, cheap, dinner fix the other night and came up with this yummy number!
Ingredients:
Suddenly Salad Mix- Classic
Vegetable Oil
Artichoke Hearts Canned
Chicken Breast (1 really big breast worked for us)
Adobe Seasoning
Italian Seasoning
Make the Suddenly Salad per instructions add a bit extra Vegetable Oil than called for. While doing that cook the chicken breast cut up into bite size chunks in a non stick pan with dashes of adobe & Italian seasoning, and the artichoke hearts (drained). Once cooked mix it all together!
ENJOY!

BACON!

Now that I have your attention- do you need a quick appetizer that's cheap too?

Bacon wrapped pineapple to the rescue!
Canned Chunked Pineapple
Package of Bacon
Sweet and Sour Sauce
and or Sweet and Sour Duck Sauce
Toothpicks
Disposable pan (optional but when you are cleaning up you will thank me!)

Cut the bacon strips into 3 or 4 pieces (I do it as I go)
Wrap them around a chunk of pineapple

Stick a toothpick through it and put it in your pan

Keep going till you run out of pineapple and or bacon
Pour Sweet and Sour Sauce or a combo of sweet and sour and sweet and sour duck sauce over the top.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes
Broil for approx 10 (keep an eye on them you don't want them to burn)

When the bacon is crispy on top you are done! (the toothpicks will blacken a bit- there is nothing you can do to stop it, just go with it).



ENJOY! You are now the hero of the party for bringing these :)
