Calzones

This is one of my family's very favorite meals. Because you make the dough for the crust in the bread machine, it is so easy. You can put the crust on the timer before work and have the dough ready when you get home. You can also brown the sausage the day before and refrigerate it until you get ready to make the calzone. My grandkids often request this for dinner. You can make the dough for the crust by hand if you don't have a bread machine.

Makes 1 - 1 pound calzone (I split it and make two smaller ones.)

Ingredients:
Crust
1 1/4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon powdered dry milk
1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Filling
3/4 cup pizza sauce
3/4 cup cooked sausage
1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Directions:
1. Place water, salt, bread flour, dry milk, sugar, and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle and start. (We’ve doubled it and done it by hand many times.)
2. After cycle ends, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface; shape into a 16 x 10 inch rectangle. Transfer to a lightly greased cookie sheet. Spoon pizza sauce down center of dough; add sausage and cheese for filling. Make diagonal cuts 1 1/2 inches apart down each side, cutting to within 1/2 inch of the filling. Criss cross strips over filling, sealing with water. Brush top with melted butter. (I add pepperoni, green peppers, onions, browned ground beef and anything else I have and want to add.)
3. Bake at 350 degrees F. For 35 to 45 minutes.

Chicken with Clementine Glaze

This is so yummy...light and tender. It is also quick and easy. I added some brown rice and green salad. Very delectable dinner.

Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
6 clementines
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 chicken cutlets, pounded thin
Salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
1. Cut the clementines in half and juice them.
2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook the cutlets in the skillet, turning over once, until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
3. Pour off the excess oil from the skillet, then add the sugar and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 15 seconds. Add the clementine juice (be careful; it will steam up at first) and cook until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter and swirl with a spoon until it's evenly melted into the liquid, about 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice and swirl. Return the chicken to the skillet and turn to coat with sauce. If necessary, reduce heat to low and cook the chicken, covered, until cooked through. Serve with sauce.

I don't use the oil, I just spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
I only use about 2 teaspoons of butter, just enough for a touch of flavor and to make the glaze a little more creamy.
I'm going to try it with oranges when clementines are no longer in season.
About 4 points per serving.
