Maranatha Granola Food

CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of waxed paper and flatten with a meat pounder until thin. Cut each chicken breast into 4 pieces. Add some flour to a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken in the flour and shake off the excess flour.
• Add the butter and olive oil to a large saute pan over high heat and heat until it sizzles, do NOT let it brown. Add the chicken and saute until brown on both sides. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and saute briefly, then add the garlic. Add the Marsala and simmer for 3 minutes, then stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. Pour in the beef stock and let simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

BASIC GRANOLA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix together the oats, light brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir the honey, oil and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Use your hands if necessary to make sure it's well combined.
• Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes and then remove from the oven and stir; add the chopped almonds. Return to the oven and bake until everything is toasted and evenly browned, an additional 10 minutes.
• Allow the granola to cool on the baking sheet, then add the dried cranberries and toss to distribute. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

MARANATHA GRANOLA

Steps:

• In a huge bowl mix first 8 ingredients, stirring till all are combined; (I use a huge stainless steel bowl and then leave it in that to bake the granola).
• Add the oil, brown sugar, vanilla mixed with 2 tablespoons of water and salt.
• Warm the honey in the microwave so that it will be thin and mix better.
• Mix very well.
• Put onto a huge baking sheet or leave in the stainless bowl.
• If you do this, push the granola up the sides so all areas are exposed.
• Bake 300 degrees for 1 hour, mixing every 10 minutes.
• Keep an eye on it so that it doesn't brown too much in the last 10 minutes, depending on your oven.
• Dump it out on paper towels or a large brown paper bag and cool.
• Put in large container and keep in refrigerator because of the oil.
• DELICIOUS!
