*Chicken in a Blanket & Salad*


I watched Rachel ray make some chicken sausage wraps but I'm not a fan of chicken sausage so I decided to try my hand at my own recipe with some Chicken Breasts (cut into strips) wrapped in pastry dough...  it came out DELICIOUS! 
 

INGREDIENTS:
2/3 Cup Peach Preserves
1/2 Cup Honey
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
3 Tbsp Canola Oil
3 Tbsp Dijon Mustard (or whatever kind of mustard you like)
Puff Pastry Dough (thawed) I use Pepperidge Farm because it seems to bake the best
2 large Chicken breasts (cut each piece into 3 strips)
1/2 head of lettuce chopped up
2 Clementine Oranges (peeled and pulled apart)
1/4 Cucumber sliced
 
DIRECTIONS:
1.) Preheat Oven to 425*
2.) In a mixing bowl, stir together the Peach Preserves & Honey
3.) Pour one third of Mixture into a Large Salad Bowl, Add in Soy Sauce & Vinegar.  Whisk Well.
Add in Oil slowly & you now have your Salad Dressing!
4.) Take the remaining 2/3 of Peach/Honey Mixture & Add in Mustard.  Mix Well.
5.) Cut THAWED Pastry Dough into 6 rectangles.  Spread some of the Honey/Mustard Mix onto each rectangle
6.) Place one strip of Chicken on each rectangle & fold dough around Chicken.  Tuck ends under.
7.) Spread more of the Honey/Mustard Mix on top of each "Chicken in a Blanket"
8.) Place on Non-Stick Baking Sheet & Bake for 12-15 minutes.  Check on them and take out when they are Golden Brown!
 
While the Chicken is Baking...
1.) Put the Chopped Lettuce, Cucumber Slices, & Oranges in the Sald Bowl
2.) Toss Well in the Salad Dressing
 
That's it!  Now just put 1 or 2 Chicken Blankets on each plate with a scoop of Salad and Enjoy!
 
With Luvin' from the Oven,
