Favorite Photo and Amish Chicken Hall of Fame

CHICKEN RECIPES BELOW.....FAVORITE PHOTO FIRST

I love photo. If you guessed it was taken in the Pearisburg, Virginia Amish settlement, you are correct....beautiful Amish community tucked away at the base of Walker Mountain. I spied this buggy there about 3 years ago.

Poultry is popular in Amish kitchens, because most Plain people have chickens pecking around their property.  The presence of fowl provides a ready supply of fresh meat and eggs. All of these recipes would taste better using free-range chickens that get to pluck and peck and meander their way around.  These recipes will work using supermarket birds for sure, but you'll get optimum taste using free-range.

MATTIE YODER'S MELT IN YOUR MOUTH YOGURT CHICKEN

This recipe is from an Amish woman in Ohio. I had the opportunity to watch her make homemade yogurt when I was at her house.  One of her uses for yogurt? With baked chicken. She swore up and down it made for a very moisty, tasty bird.

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

5 ounces of homemade or store bought plain yogurt

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon seasoning salt  

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon ground black pepper 

Preheat oven to 375° F . Spray baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Combine yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Spread over chicken breasts. Bake for 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and topping is browned. Serve immediately.
