Chick-Fuh-Lay Nuggets & Sauce Copycat Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets! Chick-Fuh-Lay Nuggets & Sauce are addicting! I hate Sunday’s. Not because it’s the last day of the weekend. But because I seem to crave Chick-Fil-A only on Sunday’s and I can’t fulfill that craving because they’re CLOSED. I’ve fixed that problem and I probably solved everyone’s problem too. Let’s go swimming! I didn’t want some lawsuit against me so I didn’t title this post appropriately with the real restaurant’s name, you get the point though, right? Seriously, I’m addicted to this place and it’s such a bad habit. Are you hungry yet? Go make these now and every Sunday, you’ll think of me and thank me :) and so will your neighbors. I should also point out: this isn’t Chick-Fil-A’s secret recipe.

Chicken Chimichangas Recipe Chicken chimichangas require a little work but they are definitely worth it. I actually prefer these over the beef chimichangas. Tortillas are filled with a mixture, rolled, and then fried in oil. The filling mixture consists of ingredients such as chicken, rice, refried beans, and black olives. After the chimichangas are fried they are topped with a avocado mixture. Ingredients: 1 ½ cups chicken broth 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice ½ cup red enchilada sauce 1 ½ onion (diced, divided) 6 (12 inch) flour tortillas 4 cups shredded cooked chicken breast 1 pound Monterey jack cheese (shredded) 1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives 4 cups refried beans ¼ cup vegetable oilAvocado topping- 3 avocados (peeled and pitted) ½ cup cilantro (finely chopped) 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3 green onions (diced) ¼ cup jalapeno chile peppers 1 tomato (diced) 2 cups shredded lettuce 1 cup sour cream 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Cooking Instructions:

Flavor Packed Potato FansKitchen Trials | Kitchen Trials I’ve tried about a half-dozen versions of potato fans, and I kept coming up with the same complaint – the potato itself had no flavor. Finally, I decided to just go rogue. Take what I had learned with the prep, but amp up the seasoning of the potato. I was not disappointed. Now, the recipe is actually for 6, but I only needed 3. First off, get your russet baking potatoes scrubbed clean. Take a small slice off the bottom so that it’ll sit flat. Then a little slice off of each end. Now, cut slices ¼” apart all the way across the potato, leaving ¼” intact at the bottom. Put the potatoes on a plate bottom side up and microwave for 10 minutes, flipping over half way through. While the potatoes are in the microwave, make the topping. Grind, grind, grind, grind, grind. Put all the ingredients for the topping in a medium bowl: the bread crumbs, grated cheddar cheese, melted butter, Parmesan cheese, paprika, minced garlic, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Now, pack on the topping. Beautiful!

Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta Do you ever look in your pantry and have an ingredient that you tend to use for the same dish every single time? When it comes to Marsala wine, my go to dish is naturally Chicken Marsala. I've made a few different versions but this Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta is the most favorite of my husband. The creamy Marsala sauce with caramelized mushrooms and onions really make it even more comforting. It's a dish you can make during the week for family and it's even good enough for company... For this recipe, I adapted it from the original by adding caramelized onions. Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta Season chicken with salt and pepper. Boil water and cook pasta according to the directions. Melt additional 1 tablespoon of butter in skillet, add garlic, mushrooms and onion and cook for about 6 minutes. Drain pasta and reserve 1/2 cup cooking water. Season with salt and pepper and serve with additional Parmesan cheese and a garnish of chopped parsley.

Peperonata This, to me, is such a simple dish. I’m all about easy peasy. As I’ve mentioned before simple isn’t a bad thing. It truly is a WOW dish. It’s the perfect way to start off an evening with friends. I have seen this dish prepared with green bell peppers as well. Peperonata is also perfect as a sauce to accompany your meat/poultry dishes. Some of my go-to appetizers (besides Peperonata) are: Bruschetta & Crostini with Artichoke Spread. What you’ll need: 1 onion – chopped 2-4 cloves of fresh garlic – minced 2 Roasted Red Bell Peppers (or 2 Red Bell Peppers) – chopped 1 large can of San Marzano Tomatoes s/p extra virgin olive oil chicken stock or water Fresh Basil – a good handful chopped Fresh Parsley (yes, flat leaf Italian LOL) – a good handful chopped What to do: In a large pan over medium-high heat, add a few good turns of the oil. Buon Appetito! Goes great with: A loaf of crusty bread Contest Alert: Love this recipe as much as we do?

crockpot honey sesame chicken Crockpot honey sesame chicken is easy to make and even more delicious! “Bourbon chicken? Bourbon chicken? Sample?” You know those food court Chinese places that you pass in the mall that shove chicken on a toothpick in your face and practically force you try it even if it’s like 10am. Update: 7/24/2012: Yes, you may use boneless, skinless, chicken breasts instead of thighs. I won’t lie, it’s hard to refuse something like that. However, it’s not “real” Chinese food and I don’t like that they broadcast it like it is. Anyway, enough of my hating because we all know how obsessed I am with that stuff and as far from Chinese as it may be, I still get it whenever I go to Panda Express or am grabbing a quick bite at the food court. crockpot honey sesame chicken Author: Julie Wampler Recipe type: Slow Cooker Prep time: Cook time: Total time: Serves: 4 All images and content are © Table for Two. crockpot honey bourbon chicken, honey sesame chicken
