Fruit Salad with Strawberry Glaze

A woman in our ward brought it to the Christmas Party and made three HUGE bowls of it. It was gone so fast that almost half of the people didn't even have a taste. She gave me the amounts for a very large group... so I sized it down. You may have to adjust the sizes as you make it.

Strawberry Glaze (Maria's or Rosetta's)- found in the produce section
1 pkg (qrt) of Strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 group of Grapes
3-4 bananas
NOTE: some people add pineapple chunks (20oz can, drained) and/or mandarian oranges (15 oz can, drained)

Cut strawberries and grapes in half. Cut bananas in slices. Then pore Glaze on fruit and mix. Chill 1 hour before serving.

Parmesan Chicken

Parmesan Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

1 clove garlic, minced
1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup or 1/4 pound), melted
1 cup dried bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or 2/3 cup if you are using a Microplane zester)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
A large pinch of Italian seasoning (herb mix)
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 lbs of skinless, boneless, chicken meat, cut into pieces no larger than 2x2 inches
Method






1 Preheat oven to 450°F.

2 In a bowl, combine the minced garlic with the melted butter. In another bowl mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Dip chicken pieces into garlic butter, then into crumb mixture to coat.

3 Place coated chicken pieces on to a 9x13 baking dish. Try to leave a little room between each piece. Drizzle with remaining garlic butter and bake uncovered 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Note that the chicken will get much more browned on the bottom side than on the top.

Serves 4-6.

NOTE: I accidentally used Pork with this (not thinking) and it took longer to cook but it was still really good.
