Marinated Ranch Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 package ranch dressing mix
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil

Combine the dressing mix, vinegar, and olive oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and toss to coat thoroughly. Marinate in refrigerator overnight, turning bag a few times. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade. Broil on high (or grill it, if you prefer) for 10-15 minutes, or until no longer pink in the middle.

This chicken was SO moist and flavorful. A super easy recipe that you will not regret making!! I actually left in in the fridge for two nights, and it still turned out fantastic. This will be a new favorite with my family!

Amish Breakfast Casserole

1 pound sliced bacon, diced
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
6 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) 4% cottage cheese
1-1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion until bacon is crisp; drain. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; stir in bacon mixture. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

Super Yummy! A nice twist on a hash brown casserole for a breakfast or brunch. I actually made it for dinner one night and served it with a salad and some croissants.
