As recipe submissions are flowing in for our Skinny Mama Contest, I started looking back at recipes from our very first contest a few years ago. With new products always coming out, we sometimes forget about these “oldies” (but goodies!), like our Parmesan Garlic. So I found this recipe from Rachel Whitener and decided it must be shared! With just four ingredients, this could be an easy-peasy weekend meal…yummy!
Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (best if sliced thin or pounded down)
¼ cup Saucy Mama Parmesan Garlic Marinade
2 thin strips prosciutto
½ lemon
Directions:
Trim excess fat off chicken breasts. Place in a shallow container or zip-top bag. Add marinade and turn over or toss to coat. Let sit in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken in a small baking dish (do not pour rest of marinade over chicken, as any excess in the pan will burn during cooking). Take a slice of prosciutto and lay over the top of each breast so that it ripples. Place chicken on center rack of oven and roast for about 30 minutes, or until prosciutto is cooked and chicken is done in the center. Do not overcook. Cut lemon into wedges and serve alongside chicken or squeeze over top.
A special thank you from Suzie “Saucy Mama” Barhyte:
“ The whole family was so honored to receive Pendleton’s Business of the Year Award. When Jan and I came back to Pendleton in 1990 it was with a true sense of coming home. Pendleton was a wonderful place to grow our business and the community has been so supportive every step of the way.”
Hey everyone, Colette here! As we mentioned a few weeks ago on our Facebook page, Barhyte Specialty Foods won Pendleton’s Business of the Year (BotY) for 2011. While many of the locals understand and appreciate the award as a huge honor, I decided it would be helpful to get some understanding about what this award really means. I asked, of course, Suzie’s dear friend, MaryAlice, and received some information I’d like to share:
Someone must sponsor the company’s nomination, which is kept totally secret from the company. Then anyone that is connected to the business is asked to write a letter of support that says why the business should win and why they are deserving. Barhyte has a binder full of the sweetest letters from friends and the community; most focus on reasons such as the family business aspect, the impact on the Pendleton community, and generosity/giving back. This packet of letters, forms, and any other interesting information is given to the Chamber, who selects a top-secret 5 person committee to judge all the awards for the year. There are other fantastic ones as well, such as Man and Woman of the Year.
In the words of MaryAlice: “Putting together the packet for Barhyte Specialty Foods was easy – they have touched many, many people, groups, organizations, and other businesses in town, that everyone was happy to write a supporting letter. It was good too, that their employees joined in. They all had good things to say about their employer.” The BotY award has been given since 1996, and Barhyte is absolutely thrilled to have been chosen. We’re so thankful that we have such loyal supporters- you guys ROCK!
