Lemon Chicken

I have decided to take the easy, cheaper road to meals and resort to a really good restaurant style meal more like once a week rather than5 or 6 times. This is an easy one that the whole family enjoyed. Try it, I think you will like it.

4 chicken breasts
1/4 c flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil
1 can lemonade
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup--I used the hot and spicy one cause that is all I had, I think it made the dish a little better than regular ketchup.

Combine flour and salt to dredge chicken. Brown in oil. Put in casserole dish. Combine lemonade, sugar, vinegar and ketchup-Pour over chicken and throw in the oven for an hour or so--Until the chicken is done of course.

I removed the chicken and thickened the sauce on the stove top. Served it with rice and a veg.

Eaaaaaasy Cheeeeesy Broccoli Soup

500 ml half and half

1 carton chicken broth/stock

1/2 c butter

1 cup or so cheez whiz~~Dont laugh!

1/4 c flour

Cook broccoli. Set aside. Heat butter, half and hlaf, and broth until boiling. Slowly add flour whisking like a mad woman. Add cheese and broccoli.

If ya wanna, if you're feeling more energetic or caring a lil more than I did, you could use a hand blender to more puree the broccoli. Or huck it in a blender all together. I wasnt feeling it....So I didnt. None the less....A-mazingly good and easy!
