Jennifer
Schroeder,
a very talented Pampered
Chef consultant, prepared 2 of her family's favorite
recipes. Hostess, Norma Schroeder
(no relation), and the TV audience learned lots of tips
and tricks today! Jennifer's husband, Bob,
an RP&L employee, politely accepted the fact that
he's a topic at most Pampered Chef parties. Sorry Bob...

Hot Chicken Salad Ring |
 |
2
cans Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1 can water chestnuts, chopped
3-4 green onions, sliced
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked & chopped
1 can cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 TBS butter
almonds, optional
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brown almonds in butter in
an 8-inch sauté pan. In a bowl, combine chicken,
water chestnuts, green onions, cream of chicken soup,
celery, mayonnaise, and toasted almonds (You may save
the almonds to put on top of the ring right before baking
if you'd rather not have them in the chicken salad, or
omit them entirely - it's guaranteed to be good either
way!).
Arrange crescent triangles in a circle on a large pizza
pan (we used a Pampered Chef "Large Round Baking
Stone"), with bases overlapping in the center and
points to the outside. Sprinkle a small amount of flour
onto bases and press them together with a small roller.
Using a medium or large scoop (or spoon), scoop mixture
over the rolls. Fold points of triangles over filling
and tuck under base at center (filling will not be completely
covered). Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
ring from the oven and slice. Serves 16.

Dessert
Fruit Pizza
|
|

|
1
package (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
4 cups of assorted fruit, such as sliced:
strawberries
kiwi
bananas
peaches
or
blueberries
raspberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For the crust, shape cookie
dough into a ball. Place dough in center of a round pizza
pan (we used Pampered Chef's "Large Round Baking
Stone"); flatten slightly with palm of hand. Using
a lightly floured roller, roll out dough to a 12-inch
circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Bake for 18-20 minutes or
until light golden brown; cool 10 minutes.
Carefully loosen cookie from the pan. Cool completely.
For the topping, combine cream cheese and sugar in a bowl
and mix well. Spread mixture evenly over top of cookie.
Slice strawberries, peeled kiwi or bananas using an egg
slicer. Slice the peaches.
Arrange fruit over cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate.
Cut into 16 wedges with a pizza cutter (Pampered Chef's
works real well! wink, wink). Yields 16 servings.
