@GenXmuse, that crunchy slaw sounds delish!
Thanks!

Next ingredient is a timely idea for @GenXmuse’s chicken breasts.

YUM...loving these recipes posted recently....good for summer ahead.  @GenXmuse ... easiest recipe for those chicken breasts I can think of....dip in Italian Dressing then bread crumbs...cover...bake at 350 for 30 minutes, uncover for another 30 minutes.  Or, spray/grease a Pyrex dish...add chicken breasts ...sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning, put lemon slices on top, sprinkle with parsley...bake at 325, uncovered, one hour.

NEXT .... BROWN SUGAR

@walker, I think I'll use your recipe on the sole chicken breast that I'm currently defrosting. TY! 

ETA: I tried this concept out w/ my granddaughter yesterday. As I suspected it does NOT work! This technique shall be filed under "failure", or "what was I thinking?" LOL

However, we salvaged it.

We just spread the cinnamon/brown sugar/butter mixture over each pancake after we flipped it, & once plated, drizzled the icing on top.

My granddaughter loved her cinnamon roll pancakes! Perfect for her, as she hates maple syrup.

----------------------------------

A member of a group I belong to recently posted this recipe for her Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. Cute concept, though I haven't tried it.

Easy enough to try w/ your own recipe for pancakes and/or icing.

Here is her recipe, as written:

 

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes w/ Cream Cheese Drizzle

Filling:

* 1/4 cup unsalted butter just barely melted

* 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

* 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

* 1 teaspoon vanilla

Icing:

* 1 stick cream cheese (softened)

* 1 tbsp vanilla

* 1 cup powder sugar

* Milk (to desired consistency)

Pancakes:

* 1-1/2 cups milk

* 1/4 cup white vinegar

* 2 cups all-purpose flour

* 1/4 cup white sugar

* 2 teaspoons baking powder

* 1 teaspoon baking soda

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 2 egg

* 1/4 cup butter, melted

* 1 teaspoon vanilla

* Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour".

* Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into "soured" milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.

* Heat a large skillet on medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet.

* In a circular motion add cinnamon filling BEFORE bubble form.

* When bubbles begin to form flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.

* Drizzle with icing

@walker I made your Apple Slaw the other day and really liked it. Such a nice change from the typical mayo based slaws. Thanks so much for posting it.

Your "Happy Place" recipe 

[walker]

I guess home is my happy place.  On a chilly day in my warm home, this recipe hits the spot for comfort food.  My second happy place is anywhere on the water.  Pot Pies good anywhere!  Thank you to MarkCharles Misilli of QVC.

Recipe found in his cookbook, Easy Everyday Favorites.

HOMESTYLE CHICKEN POT PIE

1 (14.1 oz) package refrigerated pie crusts

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1" chunks

1 cup frozen sliced carrots

1 cup frozen green peas

1 stick butter

1/3 cup chopped onion

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon celery seed

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1-3/4 cups chicken broth

3/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 425.  Place chicken in a large pan with enough water to cover.  Over high heat, boil for 10 minutes.  Stir in carrots and peas and continue boiling for 2 minutes.  Drain in a colander and set aside.  Don't worry about thawing veggies first, since you don't need to!

In same pan over medium heat, melt butter and cook onions for 5 minutes or until tender.  Add flour, celery seed, salt and pepper.  Whisk for 1 minute or until golden.  Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk; cook until thickened stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and stir in chicken mixture.  Place 1 pie crust in a 9" deep dish pie plate.  Pour chicken filling into pie crust.

Place second pie crust on top of mixture; seal and flute edges.  Cut 4 (1") slits in top of crust.  This will allow steam to escape while cooking and prevent top crust from getting soggy.  Bake 30-35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.  Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

(***Sometimes I take peas and carrots from a package that combines both.  I have also added corn.  Good anyway you do it.  Also, in case of any bubbling over, I put pie dish on a cookie sheet to bake.  Remember to let pie crusts sit out of refrigerator for about 30 minutes; easier to unroll and use.  Easy to fix.)

FYI for anyone who'd like to know.

I edited my above post regarding 'Cinnamon Roll Pancakes' to say that the concept definitely does NOT work. Whoopsie!

As suspected, the swirl just melts away making a big mess.
