Favorite Ingredients Friday!

One of my big plans for the month of June is to do some major purging. It's amazing how quickly you can become surrounded by stuff that you don't really want. Jim gave me an early kick-start by finding a bag of old loose cooking magazines and a box of binders filled with more and pulling them out of the closet. I'm going through them and just getting the recipes I actually want out.

He'll be thrilled because I found a lost recipe. When I first made this recipe, it reminded him of an old favorite dish at a Chinese restaurant where he used to live. I made the adaptations from his memory of the meal and made it several times for him, and then I lost the recipe. I thought I'd made it from a Taste Of Home cookbook. Apparently, it was in one of their magazines.

Here's my version of their recipe:

Tomato Chicken

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 T+ butter
1/2 lg onion, large chop
1/2 lg green pepper, large chop
2 cans Condensed Tomato Soup, undiluted
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 c water
2 T brown sugar
2 T vinegar

In a large skillet, cook chicken in butter until browned on both sides. Remove from pan. Add more butter, if necessary, and saute onions and peppers for just a few minutes. They should stay a little crunchy. Add remaining ingredients, and bring to a boil.

Cover, and reduce heat. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
