How to : Bakin' Bacon

I've always been a "nuke it in the microwave" bacon cooker, but recently tried baking bacon in the oven. It turned out very well. Here's how you do it:

Preheat the oven to 400.
Line a baking sheet with foil.
Lay out the bacon so it is just touching.
Bake 15-20 minutes depending on how crispy you like it.

Tastes Like Chicken: Apple 'n' Onion Chicken

Rob is pretty honest about what he likes and doesn't like when it comes to my cooking. We had this the other night and he pronounced it GOOD!

Apple 'n' Onion Chicken

3 medium apples, sliced
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon thyme
2 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice

Saute the apples and onions in butter until tender. Meanwhile... Combine the swiss, parm, bread crumbs, and thyme in a bowl. Then pour the apples 'n' onions into a greased baking dish and top with chicken. Season with salt & pepper. Top with cheese mixture and drizzle on the apple juice. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
