BBQ Glazed Chicken Thighs w/ Loaded Potato Casserole and Cut Green Beans

Dinner Tonight: BBQ Glazed Chicken Thighs w/ Loaded Potato Casserole, Cut Green Beans, and Baked French Bread




Another beautiful Summer Day out there again! No humidity, plenty of Sun, and a high in the 70's!
Can't beat that for an August Summer Day! Had a light breakfast of a Toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin topped with a tablespoon of Jif Reduced Fat Peanut Butter. So after breakfast and morning workout headed out to Meijer for some Envy Apples and picked up some Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links and Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage. After some house cleaning got the cart out for the afternoon to enjoy all that sunshine! For dinner tonight I prepared BBQ Glazed Chicken Thighs w/ Loaded Potato Casserole, Cut Green Beans, and Baked French Bread

 




This is a Kraft Recipe that I made some adjustments to; now it's my recipe! To make this I'll need the following: 1/2 cup Smucker's Sugarless Peach Preserves, 1/4 cup Kraft Sweet Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce, 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder, Sea Salt (to taste), 1 small Onion (finely chopped), and 8 small Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs. For the Chicken Thighs I used Simple Truth Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs.




Ready for the oven...

To prepare it I preheated oven to 375ºF. Seasoned Chicken Thighs with Sea Salt. Then mixed the 1/2 cup Smucker's Sugarless Peach Preserves, 1/4 cup Kraft Sweet Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce, and a 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder in large bowl until blended. Stirred in onions. Added the  chicken; turned to evenly coat.  Placed Chicken in single layer in 8-inch square baking dish; cover with sauce. Then bake 30 min. and Chicken read 165ºF by an inserted thermometer. Then what you have, get ready, is a Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! Had to sorry! It's really a delicious Chicken. Chicken is moist and juicy and all the ingredients combine to give it an incredible taste.




For one side dish I prepared a box of Idahoan Loaded Potato Homestyle Casserole. I love all the Idahoan Potato Products. A very quick and easy way to prepare some delicious pipping hot Potato Dishes. I also heated up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans and baked a loaf of Pillsbury Rustic French Bread. Excellent meal tonight! For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.

Oven Directions

Best for Golden Browning

1 – PREHEAT oven to 450°F. COMBINE potatoes and sauce mix in 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
