Is it me or do Mama’s like to make easy and quick meals? I sure do! The chances that my day is boring, the chances that my children aren’t acting as children, the chances that I get to lounge around the house, drink a glass of wine and do whatever I please are….non-existant to say the least! Matter-a-fact, I can not recall a day in the past four years of staying home that I got a day like that…no need for me to start daydreaming about it now! I’m a mom. One of my jobs as being a mom is to prepare, cook and even clean dinner. (Did I mention breakfast, snack and lunch? Another day, another day!)
I have been using The Pampered Chef products for 1.5 years now and trust me, I like to test everything out myself. When I started blogging, I was so interested in my food but what I really fell in love with was how the products made dinners EASIER, FASTER, and QUICKER! And guess what, that’s exactly what the Deep Covered Baker does! It’s one of those items that you can’t get anywhere else. There’s no running into Target for this baby. It’s like a slow cooker but better, way better. Not only can you cook in the oven but the microwave too! Everyone always gawks over the 30 minute chicken. A 5lb chicken can be placed in the MICROWAVE and cooked to perfection. It is amazing and the taste is soo good. Nothing rubbery like I thought it would have been.
Anyways, let’s keep moving!
PROS of Deep Covered Baker Baby: (My baby, my name!)
- You can cook meals in the oven or microwave – BIG TIME SAVER
- The lid turns upside down so you can store it inside – SPACE SAVER
- Heat resistant up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit
- Keep it in the freezer (LEFT OVERS)
- Have a meal put together QUICKLY
- Not porous so it won’t absorb odors
- The more you cook in it, the more it becomes non-stick: no need for PAM spray
Seriously, throw in a few items and push a few buttons on the microwave – what else could you ask for? The Jetsons?
Our family loves, uses, critiques, makes, bakes, cooks and squeals over Pampered Chef. Kitchen tools are so important because they make YOUR LIFE EASIER. If there was ever a tool to make the kitchen easier, this would be one of them! Mandatory! That’s one of the reasons why I want to share with you what you can do with these tools. People always say, “I don’t know how to cook” or “I need practical meals” or “When would I use that?” Well guess what?
I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU MY KITCHEN SECRETS.
Why?
Because that is how much I believe in our products. Yes, I am a consultant but what you want are good products and a good consultant. Let me guide you the way! I believe in bringing healthy meals back to our Pampered Chef family table.
There’s my intro – WELCOME TO PAMPERED FRIDAYS! Hope you all enjoy new exciting recipes!
Ingredients:
- Chicken breasts or thighs…whatever you have on hand. I used Organic Bone-In Chicken Thighs
- 1 (14oz) can of whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 Tbs apple cider (so many good health benefits about apple cider! So many!)
- 1/2 cup organic orange juice
- 1 orange: chopped
- 1-2 tsp of cinnamon
EASY DINNER!
Step 1: Combine all ingredients but the chicken in a bowl. Stir to combine
Step 2: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Here’s the thing about me. I’m anti-microwave. I just am. I don’t like it. I’m worried about rays and I’m just not used to it….and well, I just don’t use the darn thing unless it’s an emergency and I do mean an emergency. I love my oven so I use it often. All winter and all summer but hey, that’s just me!
You can throw this dish into the microwave – I would guess at the time and say 15-17 minutes. Figuring if a whole 5lb chicken cooks in thirty minutes, it must be half of that. Make sure to USE a thermometer! You want it to register at 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to check!
Step 3: Place chicken in bottom of Deep Covered Baker
Step 4: Pour mixture on top and bake for 45 minutes. Be sure to test!
Step 5: Serve on top of rice and throw in a veggie!
Of course we have a rice cooker! Be sure to check that out!
