We had a lovely fourth of July this year, the only thing missing was my oldest daughter, she is still living in NY, and we miss her terribly. We tried a new recipe this year that I found in Taste of Home, and it was so delicious I thought I would pass it along! This was an easy meal and so darn good!
Ranch Chicken Bacon Skewers
Ingredients:
1/2 cup ranch salad dressing
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 drops hot pepper sauce
1-1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 12 strips
12 bacon strips
Directions:
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the ranch dressing,
barbecue sauce, chili powder and hot pepper sauce; add chicken. Seal
bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially
cooked but not crisp. Drain on paper towels.
Drain and discard marinade. Place a chicken strip on each bacon
strip; thread each onto a metal or soaked wooden skewer.
Grill skewers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4-6 in. from the
heat for 10-14 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, turning
occasionally. Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
I served this meal with rice, asparagus, watermelon, and lemonade pie for dessert. We finished it all up with a grand fireworks show! Sweet Bliss!
We received a custom order for our body butter and sugar scrubs this week. It is an exciting offer from a nail salon owner, and it could mean a future collaboration with mutual benefits. I am sending out the first order today, so cross your fingers for us!
I just received a supply order from Faye Goode of WoodcotDesigns on Zibbet.com. I will be presenting some new earrings soon, they will be something new for me; glass pearls of several different colors. We will see what I can come up with...
Until then follow my lead and step outside today, take a deep breath and savor the summer.
Love your post!
