Anna Ginsbergs, 2006 Pillsbury Bake-Off winner. An old-fashioned chicken dinner is updated for two, with a surprising ingredient that makes the spinach stuffing extra special. The Zaar computer is not recognizing '1 package' of Pillsbury Dunkables...(the recipe uses only 9 sticks, and 3 of the syrup cups from the package of dunkables). Ingredients:
9 pillsbury dunkables homestyle frozen waffle sticks |
pancake syrup, 3 cups from the package |
2 tablespoons peach preserves |
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
2 bone-in skin-on chicken breasts (1 lb) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine |
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium) |
1/4 cup chicken broth |
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh sage |
1 1/2 cups green giant frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain well (from 1-lb bag) |
1 tablespoon beaten egg white |
1 tablespoon chopped pecans |
