Barbequed Chicken Breasts

Barbequed Chicken Breasts:

-6-8 chicken Breasts
- Seasoning Salt
- Seasoned Pepper
-1/4 cup Sundried Tomato & Oregano Dressing OR Olive Oil
-1/2 cup Bbq Sauce

Place chicken breasts on a casserole dish. Lightly sprinkle with seasoning salt and seasoned pepper. Drizzle with dressing or oil. Cover. Bake @ 350 for 20-30 minutes or just until no longer pink in center.
Remove from casserole dish and drain the juices. Lightly brush both sides of the chicken breasts with your favorite BBQ sauce. Place the chicken breasts on a hot Barbequer; grilling each side for just a few minutes to get a nice BBQ flavor.

Baking your chicken prior to putting it on the Barbequer ensures that it stays nice and juicy and doesn't get dried out or charcoal around the edges.

I like to make extra because leftover chicken breasts sliced up makes a delicious wrap or salad the next day!

Homemade Pizza Pockets

Homemade Pizza Pops

Dough:

4 Eggs
2 cups Milk
2 tsp Salt
6 cups flour

Mix together the first 3 ingredients. Whisk in 2 cups of flour. Gradually stir in the rest of the flour, about 1 cup at a time, until you have a nice soft dough. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for about an hour.

Filling:

3 cups Pepperoni &/or Ham, cut up
1/2 package bacon, diced and fried
1 tin Tomato Soup
2 tbsp BBQ Sauce
2 Cups Shredded Cheese
2 Tbsp Grated Onion (Optional)
2 Tbsp Grated Peppers (Optional)
1/4 cup Mushrooms, chopped (Optional)

Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.

To assemble the pizza pockets: Roll out dough into about 6 inch circles. Place 3-4 tbsp of filling in the center. Fold in half and pinch the edges together with your fingers to ensure a proper seal. Or you can use this handy dandy perogy maker:
 
Put about 3-4 inches of oil in a deep frying pan. Turn burner on to medium heat. Place the pizza pockets into the hot oil. You can fry about 3 at a time, depending on how big your frying pan is. Fry each side for a few minutes or until golden brown. Put into a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Any extra pizza pockets can be frozen and reheated at a later date.
