  8. Bake 30 minutes uncovered.
  9. If topped with chicken breasts or fish fillets, place on top before cooking.
  10. Last 15 minutes of cooking, heat jelly and spices and spoon over meat or fish. I like to sprinkle a little paprika and chili powder on the meat or fish when it starts to cook, it browns quickly. Spoon sauce as directed if using chicken and fish with the dressing. You may also use turkey cutlets.
