Last month, at an antique auction, I bought a maple cookbook stand full of vintage cookbooks. The books start in the mid 1930's and chronicles the owner's interest in American food. This unbound 64 page version of Yankee's Main Dish Church Supper Cookbook contains excerpts from the 238 page original cookbook published in 1980. I would love to find the original cookbook. Many of these recipes evolved over time as they were passed on down through families and friends, from generation to generation. Lazy Chicken is an example of such recipes. The simple ingredients create an herbed flavored Hollandaise - like sauce.
Ingredients:
1 broiler-fryer chicken, cut into 6 to 8 pieces,skin removed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon oregano
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 (15 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup or 1 (15 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Brown chicken in oil-butter mixture.
3. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a baking dish.
4. Combine remaining ingredients, pour over chicken, cover and bake for 1-1 1/4 hours.
