-------------------------------------------------------
Mix together in 11x9 casserole
1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
1 8 oz bottle French dressing
1 can chunky style cranberrry sauce

Toss in 6 chicken thighs. I seperate the skin a little from the chicken and push some of the sauce in. Cover and bake on 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover, spoon sauce over chicken and bake another 30 minutes uncovered. I serve it over white rice.
--------------------------------------------------
I remove the backbone from a whole roaster chicken. Here is a great video showing how to do it with cooking shears

I spray the bird with pam spray and sprinkle onion, garlic, rosemary and paprika powders on both sides. Black pepper too.

I cook the bird in a non-stick pan with a lid over medium heat. Put a little oil in the pan so it doesn't stick. I cook for about 20 minutes both sides and it is good. I check it with a thermometer.

I got this from a website.... cook for 10 to 15 minutes until chicken is golden brown and has a nice crust. Finish cooking in the oven for a further 20 to 25 minutes. Internal temperature between the leg and thigh should register 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, when cooked through.
------------------------------------------------------
Two whole tomatoes.
I cut the stem part out with a little knife and scoop a little extra out. I squeeze it to remove any seeds that I can get out. I put about 1-2 tbls pesto sauce in hole(I keep a jar in my fridge and it lasts a LONG time). Then I put either feta or gorgonzola cheese on top. Put in pan with a little oil on bottom so they don't stick. Bake 350 about 40 minutes. They are SUPER hot on the inside so be careful when taking them out, I usually use a big spoon.
-------------------------------------------------------
One flank steak
Jar of artichoke hearts
Jar of roasted peppers
4-5 cloves of garlic minced (DH and I love garlic)
block of Feta cheese

Layer ingredients down center of flank steak. I have butterflied the steak and I have not, makes no difference. Roll it closed. A lot will escape, but that is ok. I sew it closed with a metal BBQ shish kebob skewer and then stuff all the stuff back in that fell out. I used to tie it shut with roast string and that was a pain in the butt.

Bake 350 for 45 minutes for medium rare.

ETA: Title: Chicken Caesar Tetrazzini

1 cup chicken broth
1 cup Caesar Dressing
1 jar sliced mushrooms drained
1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
1/2 cup bread crumbs

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and combine with chicken, broth, dressing and mushrooms in a in a 2-quart casserole. Mix together cheese and bread crumbs; sprinkle over spaghetti mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until casserole is hot and bubbly.

Made this last night - really EASY. I used fresh mushrooms. Next time I'm also going to add broccoli. And instead of bread crumbs and parm cheese on top - I'm going to crush Ritz crackers.

My boyfriend said he wanted pork chops - not being a big pork eater...

Sauteed one small onion w/ garlic (not a bad start)
Added raw pork chops to pan with tomatoe sauce (just tomatoe sauce - not pasta sauce) and 1/2 cup water until cooked (I don't like crunchy meat)
Added some mushrooms, and pork gravy
Served over egg noodles
