Chicken Crunch

I think I remember Mother making this when we had large family gatherings. It looks like it would be good for a potluck, and would be good leftover.

1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
2 Tbsp flour
1 1/2 cup Pepperidge Farm stuffing, crushed
2 Tbsp margarine, melted
1 tsp fresh or dried parsley flakes, optional
1/2 tsp lemon juice, optional

Combine 1/3 cup soup and 1/4 cup milk
Roll chicken in flour, dip into soup mixture then roll in stuffing.
Arrange on baking sheet, drizzle with butter. Bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees or until no longer pink.

Combine remaining soup, 1/4 cup milk, parsley and lemon juice over low heat. Heat through stirring occassionally. Pour over chicken.

Cranberry Cinnamon Punch

This is a hot cranberry punch that is wonderful for the holidays. I've made it for years. My friend Jane suggested I be sure and add it to the recipes to share.

2 cups fresh cranberries
8 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup red hot cinnamon candies
3 whole cloves
1/2 cup orange juice
2 TBSP lemon juice

Wash berries.
Combine berries in 3 cups water. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Berries will start to pop. Remove and cool.
Strain berries, conserving juice.
Combine juice, 5 cups water, sugar, candies, cloves.
Bring to a boil for 5 minutes.(make sure red hots are dissolved)
Stir in orange juice.

I usually serve with a slice of lemon, orange, or lime on top.
