OVEN BARBEQUED CHICKEN

8 chicken breasts

Saute onion, celery, and green pepper in butter. Add remaining ingredients except chicken, mixing well. Bring mixture to a boil and remove from heat. Arrange chicken in a baking pan. Cover with sauce and bake one hour at 350 degrees.

Did we like it: LOVED THE CHICKEN...I made only 5 breasts-wish I would have made more-it was great left over too!

Pesto Mashed Potatoes

2 1/2 lbs baking potatoes( I just did as many as I had left)

6 TBSP butter or margarine

1/2 cup sour cream

1/3 cup purchased pesto sauce ( I just made a packet of that pesto in the green envelope)

salt and pepper to taste

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Peel potatoes and cut into large diced pieced. Add potatoes to boiling water, cook until tender (about 15 minutes) and drain. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and mash with masher. Stir in butter, sour cream and pesto sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

Enjoy.....
