Hectic. Wonderful. Crazy. Exciting. Expensive. Blessing. That describes Christmas for me! We all need easy but delicious meals – we’re stressed! This almost Dutch Oven Chicken is the key.

    That looks DELICIOUS!! Would it work well in an electric skillet, I dont have a slow cooker (though it’s on my Christmas list!)ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 12/12/2012 - 7:16 pm

      Hi Melissa,

      Yes…you can. I always use an electric skillet to fry my chicken.
      You probably won’t get quite the same results, but try it….it should work.

    This looks so good.

    But, I’m wondering about the time frames, how long you cook it in the crock pot on low (since i don’t have a skillet or a Nesco roaster). As well as how long you cooked each side of chicken breast before turning the temperature down to low.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 12/13/2012 - 12:12 pm

      Hi Christine.

      It really depends on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
      I just brown them on one side until they are very golden brown then flip over and brown the other side. Turn the heat to low, and let the chicken cook through. You don’t want to over cook chicken or it will be tough. When it’s no longer pink inside, and it easily flakes apart with a fork…it’s done.

    Jonna,
    This chicken is what’s cookin’ right now in good ‘ol Tennessee. It looks delish! I don’t have a roaster oven and really am going to talk my Husband into getting me one soon! I am tryinng an experiement. I am making this chicken in my Pampered Chef large stoneware baker. Do you think it will work. It’s almost 2:00 p.m. so I was thinking that I will cook it on 400 degrees for a few hours and then see if it needs to cook longer. Hopefully it will still be good. Your recipes are amazing, your pictures are amazing, and You are amazing. Thanks for making our dinners so delicious. My Husband is going to love this one!ReplyCancel

  • stephanie - 12/11/2012 - 1:43 pm

    Great post! How long ahead of baking can they chill in the fridge? Have you ever frozen them?ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 12/11/2012 - 2:48 pm

      Hi Stephanie,

      You can make these ahead of time (shape them) then freeze before baking.
      Let them thaw, but make sure the pastry is still very cold….then Bake right before serving.
      They will be perfect. You can even make them the day before, cover them and keep them cold in the fridge….then bake.

      I’ve never froze them after baking…I think you might lose some of the puffy crispy perfect pastry.

This is the perfect Brownie. Don’t leave them alone . . . They will disappear!

    You’ve inspired me to make some bread today! What is Crisco oil, though? Just canola oil would work, right? Or butter?

    Hi Meghan,

    Any good quality oil will work just fine. I’ve never use butter in this recipe.
    Crisco is just a brand name that I like & use often. It’s fast & easy….you’ll love it.

  • Puppydogs - 12/12/2012 - 3:07 pm

    Hi
    Do you time the baking (25 minutes) when the oven has reached 350 or do you start timing when you change the oven temperature?
    thanks!!

    ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 12/12/2012 - 7:15 pm

      Hi Puppydogs,

      Place the pans in your oven at 170 degrees, and let rise for 25 minutes, or until the bread has risen about 1 inch above the edge of the pan.
      Then without taking the bread out of the oven,
      Turn the oven up to 350 degrees and bake for another 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.

      The first 25 minutes or so, is just rise time.

      Hope this helps,

    I am excited to try this recipe. Is there a reason for mixing all the other ingredients and then adding the yeast I always thought that the yeast was activated by mixing with the hot water will it make a difference to mix the yeast in first with the water and sugar and then add the rest of the ingredients? Also I do not have a mixer so I will be mixing by hand will this make a difference on how the bread will turn out????ReplyCancel

  • wilfred caisse - 11/04/2013 - 2:00 pm

    I would like to try your recipe Easy Homemade Bread – One rise!
    but I do not own and type of electrical product Like Bosch or Kitchen Aid that would handle this recipe or others on your site. Do you have any suggestions for a person with a Glass Bowl and Wooden Spoon. I am new to baking bread. (actually anything) and I have had a few success’ with bread making. I need the exercise of stirring the flour in the bowl. I need to make only one loaf at a time. I would never have storage for that many loaves as I live in a small apartment. Thank You, WilfredReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 11/07/2013 - 7:19 pm

      Hi Wilfred,

      You can easily cut the recipe in half, to just make 2 loaves.
      Keep one in the freezer for eating later, or give it away!
      Just use a large bowl and your wooden spoon and some arm power!!!
      This is what I always did long before I had a kitchenAid, and sometimes I still opt to do
      it this way. I’m proud of you!

  • Albert Reynolds - 12/08/2013 - 6:33 am

    The lowest temperature on my oven is 200 degrees. Is this too high for letting the dough rise? Or, should I just let it rise on the counter like I’ve been doing for 40+ years? My wife really wants to know as she says that I’m the baker in this family. (I think she wants her counter space back.)
    If this recipe turns out as good for me as it sounds, I’ll be making a lot of bread for church gatherings and family reunions.
    Thank you.
    AlbertReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 12/08/2013 - 4:15 pm

      Hi Albert,

      It could be a bit high!
      Possibly test the temp of your oven with a meter, then turn it off when it reaches 170.
      That way you can still get a faster rise time!

  • Jennifer - 01/08/2014 - 8:30 am

    It’s a cold day here in the South so this recipe I have saved on Pinterest is getting a try! The bread is rising now in the oven and I have high hopes it will be as good as everyone says. If my Artisan KitchenAid stand mixer did not burn up in the mixing process I will be cutting the recipe in half the next time. It was actually smoking a bit afterwards. **YIKES!!**ReplyCancel

  • Pam - 01/11/2014 - 3:46 pm

    I made this recipe for dinner tonight. I followed the directions exactly. The bread turned out great even with my two young kitchen helpers. I only made one loaf of bread. The rest of the dough was used to make 3 dozen cinnamon rolls. It worked out great because I needed bread to go with the lasagna tonight and a dessert for a co-workers birthday on Monday. I just need to find a nice cream cheese glaze for my cinnamon rolls and I am set.ReplyCancel

  • Yvonne - 04/17/2014 - 9:09 pm

    Should the water be lukewarm? I always thought that hot water would kill the yeast?ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 04/24/2014 - 12:26 pm

      Hi Yvonne,

      If you were to add the yeast directly to hot water . . . yes, you would kill the yeast.
      In this recipe you mix several ingredients first, then add the yeast to a warm mixture.

      I hope this helps,

  • Sara - 06/21/2015 - 5:51 am

    Hello Jonna,
    I’m excited about this quick and easy bread recipe. My recipe usually takes 2 hours. Question about the bake time, do you start the 25 minute time when the oven is turned on and set at 350* or begin timing after the oven heats up to 350*?
    Thanks!ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 06/22/2015 - 2:21 pm

      Hi Glenn and Sara,

      I usually start timing after the oven is pre-heated.
      Hope this helps. All ovens heat a bit differently though, so it’s best to keep a watch out.

      Hi Ellie,

      I will try to take a few snap shots. My husband has farmed for many many years, however
      we don’t live on that farm. Somehow my sweet husband always sensed that his wife and four daughters were just not
      “born” farmgirls. We learned to move pipe, drive tractor and work cows though…..even though we hated it!
      It took us out of our comfort zone though, and sometimes that’s good for us.

    I love making cream soups in the winter, it just warms you up and is really comforting. there are two things that I wanted to offer your readers as to how i do it and it makes such a yummy difference.
    First,I saute the onion (we like onion at our house) and sometimes use mushrooms in the butter and spices. I usually cook the potatoes first too before adding the cream stuff.
    Second, I add a can of evaporated milk instead of (or sometimes in addition to) the cream. this gives it a wonderful flavor.
    I like your tips for adding the cheese, and I always wondered why sometimes it would turnout a little grainy, good to know.

    Keep on cookin’

    For me, caramel corn, popcorn, cheese corn …. it’s all about the smell. The smell triggers such memories for me. There used to be a caramel corn shop at the K Street Mall when I was a little girl. They spelled it with a K. Karamel Korn Shop. We used to stand outside and watch them stir it up, inhaling the wonderful smell! I could probably count on one hand the times we were able to buy some. I was like Laura Ingalls of Little House on the Prairie, at Oleson’s Mercantile, staring at the jar of candy that she could never have. Today, I still adore caramel corn.

    My favorite popcorn story is that my mom used to make two HUGE roasting pans full of popcorn most Sunday nights for our family to eat while we watched a movie. With six kids, one would be poppycock (microwave soft caramel) and one would be just butter, but it was always great.
    We also usually had those Christmas tins of butter, cheese, and caramel popcorn that we’d mix cheese and caramel together, so I know just what you’re talking about (except I’m sure your kind is way better than the tin’s stale popcorn!)

    Caramel corn is my #1 favorite snack. I have an amazing recipe for caramel corn. I only make it during the holidays because I honestly lose my mind around the stuff and have to limit myself to the holidays. I started making it the week before Halloween and have made it 6 times already. I have to share every batch because it’s so addicting. I would love to try G.H.CRETORS Chicago mix as we have had the Chicago mix in Chicago at Garret’s Popcorn. It’s an amazing combo!ReplyCancel

    I agree that microwave popcorn is not the way to popcorn bliss. We have a deli and a small store near our home that pops corn and bags it up. When my husband really wants to make me happy, a bag of popcorn is waiting for me when I get home. The popcorn in your post looks delicious.ReplyCancel

    Popcorn is my favorite snack and I’m a purist, too. No microwave popcorn for me. I’ve got my Whirlygig popper and it makes perfect popcorn.

    My favorite thing to do on the rare occasion when I’m in Chicago, is to hit up Garrett’s Popcorn. Unfortunately, I don’t get there often enough. I would love to try this brand and if I could purchase it locally, that would be an even bigger plus!

One of the baby’s first words was “pop” for popcorn. It is popped in a pot EVERY night!ReplyCancel

    I just discovered your blog and I actally like reading the posts. I usually just look at the pictures or scan for the important bits but I can’t help it you made me read it all.
    The only think is though I like to save this or that recipe onto my recipe box so I can make stuff later and this one doesn’t have a button to save it. It would also be nice to have it at top because I usually know right away if this is a recipe I will want to use.
    I really like that you use regular type of ingrediants and not a whole bunch of stuff you don’t already have on hand.
    Thanks a bunch

      Hi Melanie,

      I like Pepperidge Farm. It never fails, but that is all that is available in my area.
      Just make sure that before you bake anything with puff pastry that it stays chilled. It will be puffy & flaky!

    Have you ever done this stew on high for 4-5 hours instead of low for 8-10? Will I be decreasing the tenderness & flavor severely?ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 10/25/2012 - 5:02 pm

      Hi Rachel,

      I have done it on high, when I’ve been in a pinch for time. Stew meat tends to be a tougher cut of meat though, so you might want
      to think about cutting the meat chunks quite small, so that they have time to cook & tenderize. You could also use a different cut of meat.
      I’ve even cut up Sirloin steak in place of the stew meat.

  • Cynthia - 10/26/2012 - 9:28 am

    You have an asterisk (*) for using 1 tsp bon appetit seasoning instead—-instead of what?
    Thanks!ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 10/26/2012 - 2:24 pm

      Hi Cynthia,

      Gee….I don’t know where the rest of that sentence went! I use the bon appetit seasoning in place of the
      chopped celery.
      This will also add a saltier taste, so be careful how much salt you use.
      You can always add Salt, but can’t take it away.

      I’ve honestly never froze this beef stew before. You could easily make it 2 or 3 days in advance though, and just refrigerate it. That might work better.

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 02/12/2013 - 10:54 am

      Hi Lauren,

      If the stew seemed to spicy for you, next time use just one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.
      The bay leaf also adds a bit of spice as well, so you might add a small leaf!

      I’m glad you enjoyed it.
