Food for Thought: Give and it shall be given to you. Luke 6:38aLB

Meal Preparation: Wash chicken in salt water to remove any bacteria. Dip in sauce and bake at 350 degrees for 30-30 minutes or until done. Add cocktail onions to green peas and cook. Use chicken broth to cook rice. Usually takes 2-30 minutes. Serve meal with orange slices. Chicken provides protein. Peas, onions and orange slices provide vitamins and minerals. The crescents and rice are carbohydrates. Diabetics should eat sparingly.
