Ingredients
- 1 handful black walnuts
- 1 handful each golden and dark raisins
- 1 to 2 sticks celery, chopped into 1/4 inch bits
- 4 skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 box instant potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter substitute
Instructions
- Select a large cast iron skillet and spray with Pam. In the bottom of the skillet, scatter a generous handful of black walnuts, and the same amount of raisins.
- Chop a stick or two of celery into 1/4 inch bits and scatter them around the skillet bottom too. The bottom of the skillet should be fairly evenly covered.
- Arrange 4 chicken breast halves evenly on top of the raisins, nuts and celery.
- Prepare instant potatoes using water or skim milk instead of heavier milks or cream. Add enough liquid to make the mixture almost pourable. Be sure to add a couple of tablespoons of butter substitute and stir it in good.
- Cover the chicken with a thick layer of the potato mixture. Generously sprinkle shredded Parmesan or Ramano cheese. Lightly sprinkle the top with paprika.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes. Serve in the skillet.
