Cranberry Chicken...

This is certainly a favorite... Good for formal dinner as well as a quick meal.

6 Chicken Breasts Rinsed, trimmed and dried
1 Can Whole Cranberries
1 Bottle Catalina Salad Dressing (small)

Arrange Chicken Breasts on a deep baking sheet...Combine Dressing and Cranberries... Spoon over Chicken Breasts... Bake for 1 hour at 350*.

Do not use frozen chicken or this will be really soupy.

Mix Oreo crumbs and melted butter together and press in the bottom of a springform pan. Bake 10 minutes.
Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla together. Add one egg at a time. Fold in broken Oreos... Pour over crust and bake 65 minutes. Loosen the rim from the side of the cheesecake. Cool completely before removing the rim. Chill... Garnish: I like to drizzle chocolate sauce on the dessert plate under the cheesecake with Dessert Topping and 1/2 an Oreo on the top.
