Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole
Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole is a favorite and easy to-to dinner when we are looking for something hearty and delicious. It includes tender, juice chicken that is coated in a creamy mixture and topped with spicy jalapenos, shredded cheese, and crisp bacon. This is a great recipe for lunch or dinner. The recipe can be found here. Start by cooking the bacon according to package instructions. If you are using rotisserie chicken (which I highly recommend), remove the chicken from the bones and shred. If you are using boneless skinless chicken breasts (which also work just fine), cook and cube or shred. You want the meat to be pre-cooked before assembling the dish. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the chicken in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Season with garlic powder, paprika, and pepper (optional). Whisk together the heavy cream, chicken stock, and cream cheese. Spread … Continue reading

Mediterranean Eating
Sometimes in the winter months we look for lighter dinner options to break away from the warm and hearty meals people typically eat when it’s so cold out. It makes us feel a little healthier and is a great way to get in those veggies 😊 We recently made a Mediterranean Grilled Chicken with Greek Dill Sauce and paired it with Mediterranean Yellow Rice as a side. It was incredible! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was light and fluffy. But the secret to what makes this recipe so good is the seasoning – it makes the dish really savory. The chicken is prepared with allspice, nutmeg, and cardamon, and the yellow rice is prepared with turmeric and cumin, making both dishes a little sweet. So run (don’t walk) to your local Festival Foods to gather ingredients to make this wonderful Mediterranean style dish today! The recipes can be found here: Mediterranean Grilled Chicken … Continue reading

Chicken Parmesan Wings
Chicken Parmesan Wings are a bite-sized version of the classic Italian dish. The wings are breaded and baked and are perfectly juicy and tender. They are then topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese before serving. They make a great appetizer or finger food to serve at a party. For us, they make a wonderful dinner for 2. I tend to serve the wings with additional marinara sauce on the side for dipping but a side of spaghetti noodles or some mashed potatoes would also pair well! The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the chicken wings to a large bowl (pat dry first if they are wet). Add the flour and toss to evenly coat. Then, season with salt. I like to use about ½-1 Tsp of salt. I don’t want the wings to be too salty and often the marinara … Continue reading

Chicken Sausage Kabobs with Honey Balsamic Glaze
It’s getting to be the time of year when grills get covered and ignored for a few months while we all hunker down and brave the cold temperatures from the warmth of our house. If you are a die-hard griller that uses their grill year-round – kudos to you! If you are like me and want to sneak in one last grilled meal before you stick to indoor cooking, keep reading 😊 Chicken Sausage Kabobs with Honey Balsamic Glaze are a quick and easy weeknight meal that is ready in about 30 minutes. The chicken is moist, the vegetables are tender, and the pineapple adds a lovely citrus flavor to every bite. My favorite part is the honey balsamic glaze. It’s sweet and salty and creates this lovely coating on the kabobs. I prefer to use bell peppers on the kabobs, but you can use zucchini, squash, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, onions, etc. Feel free to really make the … Continue reading

Instant Pot Chicken Pad Thai
Instant Pot Chicken Pad Thai is better than takeout! I never thought I would say that about a home cooked meal, but it really is. It’s a one-pot dish that’s packed with chicken, veggies, noodles, and pad thai sauce. It’s salty and nutty with just a hint of sweetness. So, skip the takeout and give this a try! The recipe can be found here. As mentioned previously, this is a one-pot dish, so all you need is your Instant Pot, a cutting board, knife, and spoon. Start by slicing the chicken, bell peppers, and green onions. I like to buy matchstick carrots because the work is already done for me. If you can’t find matchstick carrots at the grocery store, you can slice your own. You want them to be very thin…. julienne style. Then, mince the garlic and chop the cilantro. Set the prepared ingredients aside. Add olive oil to the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add the … Continue reading

Chicken Fajita Pasta
Chicken Fajita Pasta is a yummy one-pot recipe you will be sure to enjoy! It’s creamy and packed with peppers, onions, and tender chicken in each bite. The main selling point for me on this recipe is that you cook the entire meal in one-pot which means less dishes and easier clean up. The recipe can be found here. Start by slicing the chicken, onion, and bell peppers, and mince the garlic. Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. You want the skillet to be large enough to cook all the ingredients so make sure you are using a large enough vessel. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then, add ½ of the fajita seasoning and stir to coat. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. It will absorb the fajita flavor and be perfectly seasoned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set … Continue reading

Cajun Chicken Sloppy Joe’s
Cajun Chicken Sloppy Joe’s is a wonderful weeknight meal! It’s easy to make, is done in less than 30 minutes, and is packed full of flavor. The Cajun seasoning really bring this dish together and is a wonderful spice. You can find it at your local Festival Foods or make a homemade version. It pairs well with so many dishes – pasta, shrimp, steak, chicken, etc. and has a bit of a kick. The bold, spicy flavor comes from the cayenne and the earthiness you tastes is from the herbs. Pair the Cajun seasoning with some ground chicken, corn, onions, and melted cheese, and you have a delicious sandwich. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 250 degrees F. This is so you can melt the cheese and toast the buns before assembly. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook to completion, making sure to break … Continue reading

Mediterranean Chicken Bowls
I’ve been a big fan of “bowls” lately. For example, instead of eating a stuffed bell pepper, I would eat the ingredients tossed together in a bowl. Or instead of having an egg roll, the ingredients would be in a bowl….you get the picture. My most recent bowl idea is for a Mediterranean Chicken Bowl. It has a lemon-dill rice, wonderfully seasoned Greek chicken, a fresh cucumber and tomato salad, and yummy tzatziki sauce to bring it all together. The flavors are rich and vibrant, and incredibly fresh. It’s a light and healthy meal the whole family will love! The recipe can be found here. This is really a 4-part recipe. You must prepare the tzatziki sauce, cucumber tomato salad, chicken, and rice. I like to start with the tzatziki sauce and salad because those can be refrigerated while you prepare the chicken and rice. For the tzatziki sauce, combine the shredded cucumber, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, … Continue reading

Menacing Meals
Halloween is fast approaching – are you ready? We sure are. Halloween is a month-long celebration at our house. We decorate early, spend 31 days gorging on candy, watch every Halloween movie possible, and make some fun themed treats to enjoy. I want to share with you some of my new Halloween recipes and ideas for this year. Each is fairly customizable and will be sure to put your friends and family in a mood to celebrate. My first Halloween idea is for a Char-Spookery board. This is a traditional charcuterie board but with a spooky flair. To be called a charcuterie board, it must contain meat. Otherwise, it’s just a plain old board. What I like about charcuterie boards is how easy they are to put together and how customizable they are. Choose 2-3 meats, 3-4 cheeses, some fruit, nuts, olives, and maybe a few pieces of chocolate, and … Continue reading
