Crites Family Stuff

Ingredients for 8 servings

• 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 28 oz can tomatoes, reserve juice
• Apple juice
• Basil, fresh or dried
• Parmesan cheese
• Sliced mushrooms (OPTIONAL)

Steps

1. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Dredge in flour that has been salted and peppered. Brown lightly in a small amount of oil. (Do not thoroughly brown or cook-just saute enough so the the flour adheres to the chicken.) Place in casserole dish. Layer with mushrooms. Pour tomatoes over the mushrooms with about half the reserved liquid. Add enough apple juice to over the chicken/tomato mixture. Sprinkle with a heavy dose of basil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375F for 45 minutes. Juice will evaporate so cover with a lid if it starts to become dry towards the end of the baking.
