3 Ingredient Easy Chicken Recipe Will Make You A World Class Chef

[@marykurzava9784]

I made the cranberry recipe last week and it was a HIT! My husband is an excellent cook and rarely comments on the meals I make but this recipe he said “loved the chicken”. May not sound like much to you, but this is the highest of praise from him. Am trying the apricot recipe tonight and will let you know😊

[@SimpleDudesSimpleFoods]

Fantastic! So glad your husband liked the recipe. I know you had to feel good getting a compliment on it. Don't need them all the time but they are nice to hear every now and then. Hope the Apricot goes over good as well. Have a nice day!

@@SimpleDudesSimpleFoods So I'm assuming the chicken is NOT covered?

[@myheartisinjapan3184]

Another yummy quick chicken recipe! Love that flavor combo!

[@SimpleDudesSimpleFoods]

Yes , it sure is good. I might even favor the Apricot over the cranberry just slightly but they are both really good.

[@lyngruen8607]

Bought the ingredients and marinating it overnight...gonna bake it tomorrow 😊 THANK YOU!! Texas Nana Psalm 91

[@SimpleDudesSimpleFoods]

Great idea on marinating it overnight. I bet that will give the chicken it's self much more flavor. Let us know how it turns out. Thank You.

[@bekind6196]

I’m going to try both! I love that you are cooking in a real kitchen! Thank you for your hard work in getting these out!

I'm a simple guy. This is my jam

[@annmcevoy9299]

If you eat beef, try browing top sirlion cut in serving size pieces. Place in casserole dish, sprinkle with envelope of dry onion soup mix. Cover with tomato sauce, add a half cup red wine if desired. Cook low like 250 or 300, covered, for at least 2.5 or 3 hrs. Check occassionally, adding water as needed so it doesnt dry out. We ate with steamed rice and cooked broccoli, it's a favorite.❤

Sounds like one i need to try for sure. Thank you for the suggestion and for watching.

Well this is a good one for sure. The cranberry sauce version is equally good as well. Let me know if you give one a try and how it turns out for you. Thanks for watching.

[@mackiemccauley4647]

Oh yes this version sounds as good as the other. I will look for the Russian dressing.👍🏼

[@SimpleDudesSimpleFoods]

Kens brand is the one Russian dressing I could find here in Florida. If you can't find Russian you can go with Catalina or Western. Let me know how it turns out.

[@bradcampbell624]

Sounds delicious. I've done the original 4 times now, with breasts, drums and thighs. I also added some Dijon the last time with thighs, and that certainly didn't suck. The apricot preserves sound very interesting. And they aren't a 1 trick pony. Great on baked Bree cheese rounds with some crushed pecans or walnuts.

[@SimpleDudesSimpleFoods]

The Apricot gives it a really nice tart subtle taste. HMMM Apricot on Bree? Sounds like I need to give that a try. Thanks for sharing.

[@Hggdrhjfddg]

This sounds so good. That pallet of yours needs a KZbin channel. I would love to know how to do this more with other recipes.

[@SimpleDudesSimpleFoods]

It is very good. Let us know if you make it. Thanks for the comment on the shirt. I try to keep it away from the kitchen. With my luck I will put a big ol' stain on it.

[@211sweetypie]

Sir I tried the cranberry recipe and it is indeed delicious. I will be making it again tomorrow. I'm not a fan of appricot but I'm sure many will love this one as well. I'll stick to the cranberry with the Wishbone Sweet n Spicy French Dressing (it has oinions and peppers). Thanks again. 👍🏽

[@SimpleDudesSimpleFoods]

Thank You very much for the feedback it is truly appreciated. Everyone has different tastes so no surprise you would favor one flavor over another. I like them both but I do tend to go with the cranberry version more often. Thanks again for watching. Have a great day.

[@r.gordontrueblood3188]

Where I live, we call this Russian Chicken. If you cannot find Russian Dressing, Catalina Dressing will work just as well. Can substitute Cranberry Sauce with whole cranberries for apricot preserves. This is a quick and easy ... and delicious recipe, guaranteed to please. Thanks for posting it. Looking forward to your other culinary delights.

[@SimpleDudesSimpleFoods]

Yes we did a video using French dressing, onion soup mix and cranberry sauce. It is also delicious.

Years ago I had a coookbook from the south with a recipe you may enjoy. It used some kind of beef roast with 1 can of cranberry sauce, my preference is the whole berries, and a jar of horseradish. There may have been other ingredients, can’t remember. I just found you, subbed of course. God bless you and your family.🙋‍♀️🙏🔥

Thank You So Much for taking the time to watch the video and jump into the conversation. I really do appreciate tit. I am going to have to find that beef recipe and give it a try. Admittedly I am not a big fan of horseradish but I will have to give it a go anyway.

[@sherireuther3047]

@@SimpleDudesSimpleFoods fyi, the horseradish softens out and you don’t taste it much. You could add less. It is known for the umami effect to make something taste better and of course is traditional with beef.

@@SimpleDudesSimpleFoods btw, I gave everyone at my work your recipe. I will make it myself and take it to work so they will know how good it is. We are always looking for something easy and good and I think this will fill the bill. One of my co-workers said how she hates dinner time because she just can’t think of anything to eat, and she’s not much of a cook. She could just have a bowl of cereal for herself but her 2 kids and husband are looking for something else. They actually do take out quite often, sadly. That’s why I thought your recipe would be perfect for her. I’ll make it next Sunday evening and take it to work on Monday. I bet the chicken would make a great twist on nacho chips (my personal fave). A vege and a side is fine but I live alone so that is just more than I’ll eat. Thanks again, God bless you and your family, from Michigan.🙋‍♀️🙏

Instead of cooking the chicken breast at 450 for 20 minutes after brining, if you're doing the cranberry chicken, do you have to do this for 20 minutes at 450 , if you're going to have it in the oven with the cranberry sauce for 1 hr.20 min.anyway? That would be an hour and 40 minutes then?

Nope if you are going to use it for the cranberry chicken just cook it at the normal 350 for an hour or so.
