We are a chicken family. I’m telling you, we eat so much we may start clucking soon and I’m totally okay with that. My husband and I share a love for cooking and eating, so it’s not rare for him to jump into the kitchen on any given night to try out a recipe he found. Not long ago, he did just this and thinking about it is making my mouth water. He reluctantly told me he was watching Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa and saw her make a delicious roasted rustic chicken with croutons. The way he was raving about…
Leftover Chicken? Make Some Chicken Parcels
0I haven’t been inspired too much lately in the kitchen. Hate to admit it, but there have been a lot of soup & salad nights…and sometimes sans soup. Call it laziness, call it I’m pregnant AND lazy. The other night I splurged and went to good old Publix and grabbed a yummy rotisserie chicken. So what to do with all the left overs?? Chicken Pot Pie is always a nice fall back, but tonight I decided to step outside the box and make Parcels. What the hell is a parcel you may ask? A fancy word for a package. Cause…
Caprese Bruschetta Chicken
0Looking for an easy, healthy and fresh meal to change up your dinner routine? You must try this! In our house we love everything Italian and for some reason I have been in the mood for caprese salad (fresh mozzarella, basil and tomatoes). I got the brilliant idea to fuse together 2 of my favorite apps – Caprese salad and bruschetta. How bad could it turn out?! Well, I could have eaten thirds and fourths of this meal! The caprese bruschetta was so deliciously fresh and added such a great flavor to the baked chicken cutlet. Best part about the…

Oven Roaster Chicken – Just like Publix!
4I love me some Publix rotisserie chicken! The crispy skin, the moist, juicy meat that falls off the bone – drooling just thinking about it! That is my go-to dinner when I don’t feel like cooking and Publix makes it so easy for us to enjoy a semi-homemade dinner with out the hours of cooking. I think the price is a bit steep for the size we get, but that is obviously not stopping me from still getting them. I often wondered if I could get that same golden and juicy flavor at home….. Challenge accepted. I bought a medium-sized…
Healthy Chicken Fingers
0I’m slightly obsessed with crunchy chicken. Always trying out different recipes, methods of cooking, breading to find the ultimate crunch factor to go with the juicy chicken. This time instead of using regular breadcrumbs, I tried Corn Flakes. Mmmmm me likey. Crunchy and sweet all wrapped into one bite. It gives a fun and different texture then you are used to with chicken fingers PLUS you bake them. None of that greasy oil to clean up or add to your hips. Healthy Chicken Fingers 12 chicken tenders or 4 chicken breasts, cut into tenders 1 egg 1 teaspoon yellow mustard…
Beer Marinated Chicken with Summer Salsa
0I have been getting bored with my normal grilled chicken and veggies, so I felt I needed to spice things up for dinner the other night. I was on the phone with a girl friend and literally not even paying attention to what I was grabbing or even chopping. It all just started coming together, in one delicious, crazy concoction. I adore cilantro and wanted to use it in some type of marinade but I thought, what else could I put in this? Alcohol. Beer to be exact. Now, for anyone who knows me knows I only drink beer when 1….
