Wondering how to cook pheasant? Let my recipe show you how! It is impressive enough to serve to company, but still easy to make on a weeknight. —Lou Bishop, Phillips, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 6 pheasant or grouse breast halves
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
  • 1 to 1-1/3 cups water
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can (2.8 ounces) french-fried onions
  • Mashed potatoes or hot cooked rice

Directions

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour and brown sugar; add pheasant pieces, one at time, and shake to coat. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown pheasant on both sides in butter. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
  2. Combine soup, water and broth until blended; pour over pheasant. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40 minutes. Sprinkle with onions. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until juices run clear. Serve with potatoes or rice.
