The Lady And Sons Pecan Chicken Paula Deen Recipes

LADY AND SONS' CHICKEN IN WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the chicken to a shallow buttered casserole and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Layer the cheese slices on top.
• In a medium bowl, add the soup and the wine, season with salt and pepper and pour over the cheese.
• Sprinkle stuffing mix on top and drizzle with melted butter.
• Bake for 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and serve.

THE LADY AND SONS BEEF VEGETABLE SOUP ( PAULA DEEN )

Steps:

• If using chuck roast, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the roast in the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the skillet and cut it into 1 1/2 to 2-inch cubes; discard the fat. Place the beef cubes in a large stockpot. (If using short ribs, you can put them right in the pot with no preparation).
• Add the water, tomatoes, onions, dried parsley, beef bouillon, dried Italian seasoning, House Seasoning, seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, garlic powder, black pepper and bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pot; reduce the heat so that the liquid simmers, and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
• If using short ribs, remove them from the pot and cut the meat from the bones, discard the bones and fat, and return the meat to the pot. Add the remaining vegetables and the macaroni and return the soup to a boil, stirring to distribute the ingredients.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Just before serving, season with salt and pepper and add fresh chopped parsley. To remove excess fat from the surface of the soup, swirl a lettuce leaf around the surface-it will pick up a lot of the fat.

LADY AND SONS CHICKEN POT PIE (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• For Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F Cover large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cut each sheet of frozen puff pastry into 1-inch strips long enough to cover each pie. On cookie sheet, weave strips into squares. (I made one large square to cover 8x8 casserole with pieces close together. As a result, it didn't cook all the way through in the center.) Brush beaten egg onto each lattice square.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until pastry has risen and is a nice golden brown. (It should be cooked through at this stage). Set aside until ready to assemble pies.
• For Filling: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until cooked through. Remove from heat and cut into chunks.
• In a large saucepan melt butter and then slowly add flour, stirring until consistency of peanut butter, but do not brown like a roux. NOTE: You may not need all of the flour--stop with it is the right consistency--it may only take 1/4 cup. Slowly add cream and keep stirring.
• Add chicken base (NOTE: here again you may not want to use all 1/4 cup--it may be too salty so use caution), garlic, and onion and stir until thickened.
• Add cooked peas and carrots, nutmeg, if using, and cut up chicken. Remove from heat.
• To serve fill 4 individual oven-proof bowls with chicken mixture and then top each with a pre-cooked lattice square.

THE LADY AND SONS LASAGNA ( PAULA DEEN )

Steps:

• To make the sauce: In a stockpot, combine the tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, onions, peppers, garlic, parsley, seasoning mixtures, sugar and bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
• Crumble the ground beef in a saucepan.
• Cook until no pink remains, then drain off the fat.
• Add the ground beef to the stockpot.
• Simmer for another 20 minutes.
• While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to the package directions.
• If the sauce is too thin for your taste, you can thicken it up at this time by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water-- bring the sauce back to a boil and stir in the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly.
• Remove the bay leaves.
• Preheat the oven to 350º F.
• Mix together the cottage cheese with the 1 beaten egg and the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese.
• To assemble the lasagna: Place a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9" x 13" x 2" pan.
• Layer 1/3 each of noodles, cottage cheese mixture, Gruyere, Swiss and Cheddar Cheeses.
• Pinch off small pieces of cream cheese and dot over the other cheeses.
• Add another layer of sauce.
• Repeat layering 2 to 3 times, ending with sauce.
• This may be covered and refrigerated at this point.
• Bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven and top with the Mozarella Cheese and continue to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
• Note: If the lasagna has been refrigerated, bake for 40 minutes total.
• Enjoy!

THE LADY AND SONS EASY PEACH COBBLER ( PAULA DEEN )

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place butter in oven in a 2-quart baking dish to melt.
• Stir sugar and flour together and mix well. Slowly add milk and continue to stir to prevent the batter from lumping.
• Being careful not to burn yourself, remove hot baking dish containing melted butter from oven; pour batter directly over butter in baking dish (DO NOT STIR).
• Spoon fruit on top of batter, then gently pour syrup on top (DO NOT STIR). Sprinkle with cinnamon, if using. The most important part of this dish is not stirring the mixture.
• Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Your batter will rise above your fruit, producing the most wonderful of crusts. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
