Quick Marmalade Curried Chicken

I found this delicious, go-back-for-seconds recipe for a quick chicken entree on the back of a box of Pioneer Brand Buttermilk Biscuit and Baking Mix.  My modifications are in italics.  It is unbelievably good!

1 cup Buttermilk Biscuit Mix
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup ground flax seed
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
2 Tbl. vegetable oil
3/4 cup orange marmalade (50/50 mix of apricot and pineapple preserves)
1/2 cup water
1 tsp curry powder
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)

Mix Baking Mix and pepper (and flax seed).  Dip chicken in buttermilk, then in dry mixture.  Heat oil in skillet.  Brown chicken.  Mix remaining ingredients. Pour over chicken. Cover. Simmer 20 min. until tender.  Uncover, simmer 5 more min.

Yield: 4 servings
Prep time: 10 min.

sorry there's no photo yet.  It gets eaten too quickly!

Molasses Horseradish

Sometimes you find the most amazing things at the grocery store by trying something different. I was curious about all the sauces standing so prettily on the shelf one day and picked a Molasses Horseradish on an impulse buy. It's wonderful on sandwiches instead of mayonnaise, or half and half!

Today after a good 90 minute workout of doubles and singles tennis, and a good hot shower, I sliced open a sesame seed covered loaf of french bread and made a satisfying turkey & swiss sandwich with lettuce and sweet pickle. I forgot to toss in the flax meal so I'll have to sprinkle it in the veggie soup my friend Ginnie made for me, or on the sushi I've got waiting for my Friday appetizer.

Gonna be a good weekend. Rain on Saturday means a long, luxurious snuggle in bed tomorrow with an amazing book I'm reading: Richard Rohr's The Naked Now.
