Chicken and Sausage Bake

Chicken From The Oven
Prep time:
15 minutes
Cooking time:
25 minutes

Dried white beans and kidney beans cost far less than canned beans. The next time you cook a pot of beans, add an extra cup of dried beans and more water. Freeze the extra cooked beans to keep on hand.

If your favorite skillet does not have a lid, you can always use heavy aluminum foil.

Great Pairings

Poppy Seed Dressing with Salad Greens

Olive oil has a lot of flavor, especially extra virgin but at a price. Canola, peanut or plain vegetable oil makes a lighter and tasty base for this salad dressing, and will cost a fraction of what olive oil costs.
