1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts boneless/skinless (cut 1×1″ squares)

Appetizer Sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dijon mustard

Vegetables:
3 large red bell peppers — 1/2×1″ (72 strips)

MARINADE-Add all ingredients except the chicken to a non-aluminum mixing
bowl and mix thoroughly until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
Pound the chicken breast between sheets of waxed paper until an even
thickness of 3/16″ overall. Cut the chicken breast meat into 1″ squares and
add to the marinade, covering completely. Allow to marinate for 2 hours,
refrigerated. Remove from the marinade after 2 hours and drain.

SPIEDIES-Assemble in the following order: red bell pepper, onion, chicken
(folded into “C” shape on the skewer), green bell pepper, onion, chicken,
alternately, finishing with a red pepper strip after the 4th piece of
chicken on each skewer. Spread the skewered items out on each skewer, so
they will cook quickly. Place the Spiedies on a grill or a griddle and
cook approximately 1 minute per side, turning 4 times. Adjust the timing
according to your equipment’s heat output. Serve immediately, 4 per quest,
with dipping sauce, about 1/4 c per serving.

Homemade Cream Soup Mix

2 cups powdered nonfat milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup instant powdered bouillon (beef/chicken/vegetable)
2 tbs dried onion flakes
1 tsp basil leaves
1 tsp thyme leaves
1/2 tsp pepper
Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Store in an airtight container until
ready to use. Note: I found small canning jars for this soup mix. I think
they held about 1-1/2 cups worth. I should have made more and used bigger
jars, everyone loves this mix. It tastes better than “cream of chicken soup”
in a can!
To use in place of canned cream soups in casseroles or as a base for you own
soups.
To substitute from one can of condensed soup: Combine 1/3 cup dry mix with
1-1/4 cups cold water in a sauce pan. Cook and stir until thickened. Add to
casseroles as you would a canned product.

the dried fruit. Roll in small balls and smash to 1/4″
thickness on the cookie sheet. Bake at 275F degrees for 22-
25 minutes.
