Veggie Cheat Sheet. Quick Chicken and Gravy. It’s been a busy week, one where quick and easy is the only hope of cooking dinner instead of doing takeout.
A bag of frozen chicken tenderloins pulled from the freezer, steamed rice and whatever veggie might be on hand and dinner’s ready in about 30 minutes. Chicken tenderloinsButterFlourSalt/PepperMarjoram and Thyme tonight, because I’m out of Sage.Chicken Broth Melt enough butter to generously cover the bottom of a large saute pan. Heat until it’s just barely turning brown. Add the chicken and season with salt, pepper and herbs. Once the chicken is starting to brown, turn it over. Cook just another minute or two, stirring a bit. Sprinkle with enough flour to coat the chicken well. Stir until chicken is well coated, butter is absorbed and flour just starts to cook. Add 3 cups of chicken broth. And then stirring in Better Than Bouilion paste.
Simmer over low heat until the chicken is completely done and the gravy is thickened. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes. No-bake nutter butter nutella pie. Happy Thursday, everyone!
I’m Lauren from Lauren’s Latest and today I am thrilled to be a guest here on EatLiveRun! I was first introduced to Jenna and all her fabulous recipes on Tasty Kitchen. I think Jenna and I speak the same food language because all of her recipes are the kinds of foods I make for my family and seem just so appetizing no matter what time of day it is. Then through twitter we became friends and now here I am guest posting on her blog with a recipe that very well could be life changing: No-Bake Nutter Butter Nutella Pie. Yes, you read that correctly. Nutter Butter cookies AND Nutella all whipped up into a fabulous dessert that takes minutes to make.
Lasagna Cupcakes. When Intelligentsia Coffee opened in Pasadena recently, I was intrigued the lasagna cupcakes they served.
The cupcakes are made by Heirloom LA, a catering business. About the size of a muffin, a single lasagna cupcake was a delicious meal. After seeing how much my daughter enjoyed them (she ate my entire cupcake and I had to order a second one), I decided I had to try making them at home. After a bit of research, here is my method. The girls love them and take them to school as lunch. The ingredients are fairly simple. Spray or wipe the cupcake tin with olive oil for prevent sticking and add a little flavor. Once you filled in the first layer, gently press another wrapper in, forming another cup. Once you've placed the second wrapper, repeat the filling as you see fit. A bit of Mozzarella cheese on top of it all.
I baked them for 20 minutes at 375° F and then come out perfectly browned. You can do pretty much anything you want as filling from more meats to a vegan version.
