Lemon Chicken with Cilantro Lime Rice
I’ve been craving Lemon Chicken for quite some time and finally found the perfect day to make it! This recipe is a homemade version of the take-out classic that tastes just as good, if not better, then what you would get in a restaurant. It’s fairly simple to make and delivers a delicious balance between tangy and savory flavors, with crispy chicken and a citrus sauce. The recipe can be found here. Don’t let the number of ingredients or steps scare you away! A lot of the ingredients are repeated throughout the marinade, batter, and sauce recipes, and the steps don’t take that long. Plus, this is a recipe you can work on ahead of time and come back to when ready to cook. The first step is to marinate the chicken.

Chicken Wild Rice Soup
Fall will be here before you know it. The leaves are already starting to change colors, the weather is cooling down, and our appetites are changing from light and refreshing foods to warm and comforting foods. One of my favorite recipes for fall (or winter, but I’m not ready for those cold temps yet) is Chicken Wild Rice Soup. The recipe can be found here.

Next, chop your veggies – onions, celery, leeks, mushrooms, carrots, parsley, and thyme. This will help speed up the cooking process if all ingredients are ready to go. I like to put each veggie in a bowl, so I … Continue reading

Orange Chicken
Orange Chicken is sure to be a hit at your dinner table. The tender chicken is fried crisp and coated in a thick orange sauce. There is no lack of flavor in this sweet and tangy dish. It’s one of my favorite Asian dishes and will make you forget about takeout. The recipe can be found here. Start by cubing the chicken into small pieces. Then add the chicken to the batter and toss to coat. Let the chicken sit in the batter for about 10 minutes, then toss again. Heat about 2 cups of peanut oil in a wok or skillet. I prefer to use a wok because it’s easier to stir and contains a lot of oil splatter, but you will get very similar results with a skillet. Add the chicken and fry until crispy, making sure the chicken is also cooked through. Remove the chicken to drain while you make the sauce, keeping the chicken … Continue reading

Another recipe this week is our Southwestern Pot Roast, a very simple recipe for the slow cooker that we serve with provides another great meal with leftover pot roast used for Shredded Beef Quesadillas, here is our video for the quesadillas. The perfect accompaniment to either of these meal is our recipe for Cilantro Lime Rice: Cilantro Lime Rice Ingredients: 1 Cup Basmati Rice – Rinse lightly in cold water, then cook … Continue reading
