1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2 inch pieces
2 cups fresh or thawed frozen broccoli florets
1 cup drained oil-packed sun-died tomatoes, chopped
1 cup chopped Roma tomatoes
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1. Heat the oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli, sun dried tomatoes, and Roma tomatoes, partially cover the skillet, and simmer until the fresh tomatoes break down and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the chicken mixture with the mozzarella and Parmesian. Place the pan under the broiler and broil until the cheese is golden and bubbly,
2 to 3 minutes.
ONION KNOTS: page 264
8 ounce package refrigerated crescent rolls
Olive oil cooking spray
2 tablespoons onion flakes (or you can use garlic flakes or sesame seeds with a little coarse salt.)
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
2 Unroll the crescent dough into 8 triangles. Tie each triangle into a knot by stretching two points out and then crossing them over and under, as if tying a shoe. Place the knots on the baking sheet. Coat them with cooking spray, then sprinkle with flakes. Bake until puffed up and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
BROWN SUGAR-GLAZED PINEAPPLE WITH TOASTED ALMONDS AND COCONUT
Cooking Spray
12 pineapple rings (fresh or canned in juice)
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Arrange the pineapple rings on the prepoared sheet and sprinkle the brown sugar, alm onds, and coconut over the top. Bake until the almonds and coconut are golden brown and pineapple is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
I'll bet this would be excellent with a scoop of vanilla ice cream - a pineapple split.
It says peach slices also work very well.

I haven't tried any of these yet, but will let you know when I do. I hope you all like my choices. NaDee
These look good! I had seen that Spanish Chicken and thought it would be fun to try!
I'm a little frustrated. I just commented on the dishes I posted as I fixed them for our dinner. But somehow my comment disappeared. So I'll try again.
The Spanish Chicken was a little dry. It tasted ok, but maybe Sean's idea of adding a little Italian dressing would have sparked it up a bit. Also Jacque Kirk gave me a recipe using most of these ingredients and it called for pine nuts which were a good addition. Next time I would try both of those ideas.
The Onion Knots were very tasty, but I forgot to put on the onions so we just had Knots. I'm sure onion or garlic flakes would have been a good addition.
The Bakes Pineapple Dessert was excellent. I liked mine just plain, but Jack, who likes ice cream with anything, liked it best with vanilla ice cream.
Hopefully one of my granddaughters or daughter-in-law will walk me through adding pictures. I did take some.
