Chicken with Coconut-Lime Peanut Sauce Recipe: Thai, Asian Inspired — Family Fresh Cooking - Aurora

Chicken with Coconut-Lime Peanut Sauce Recipe: Thai, Asian Inspired — Family Fresh Cooking - Aurora
The Super Bowl is this Sunday and I am finally diverting from my Valentine’s recipes and sharing a dish that would be great alongside all those mini bite appetizers. There have been so many awesome recipes passed around the internet the past few weeks in preparation for the game. Do I even know who is playing, no. Do I know what I will be eating, sure. When it comes to spectator sports it is all about the food for me. I added some bright green asparagus. This sauce tastes even better the next day after the flavors have a chance to combine. I like to make a big batch of this chicken dish so we have enough for a few days. What are you serving for the Super Bowl? Chicken with Coconut-Lime Peanut Sauce Ingredients Sauce Chicken 2 pounds Chicken Breast, cut into 1 inch pieces 1/2 cup diced Onion a few Garlic Cloves, chopped 1 teaspoon unrefined Coconut Oil 1 cup chopped Asparagus Spears, cut into 1 inch pieces Optional Garnishes Method Heat coconut oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat.

Ultimate Grilled Stuffed Flank Steak Recipe with pictures - Aurora Place the steak in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up. Combine together the bread crumbs, roasted peppers, 2 tablespoons of oil, capers, parsley, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Season the flank steak (salt and pepper). Butterfly the flank steak from the shorter side lengthwise. Leave about 3/4 before slicing all the way through to that the long length holds the two slice together firmly. Open up the flank steak like a book. Add a layer of the ham to one slice (one half). Then a layer of the cheese. And then the bread crumb stuff made earlier. Fold over the unstuffed slice as if closing a book, form with your hands to help keep the stuffing. Starting on the open length of the steak, carefully roll up as tightly as possible. Use butcher's twine to tie the steak up tightly. Season the steak with salt and black pepper, brush with 2 tablespoons oil and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Oh my! Tamale Pie! Jesus Crust! Tamale pie is amazing! You can make a pie made of tamale stuffing. If you are a fan of tamales or pies, you must make and eat this pie… now! Tamale pie! It may not be ancient, but it’s really good. It is my firm belief that every woman (and man) should have a cache of crock pot classics and one pot wonders in her/his culinary arsenal. Some of my favorite dishes are the hearty, rich casseroles that combine a flavorful base with a flaky crust or crumbly topping. Bon Appetit!

Chicken Parmigiana This is one of the go-to dishes I make for my family of six. Rich, flavorful, and totally satisfying, we all love it, including my big, strapping cowboy of a husband. And that’s a very, very good thing. Break out the good Parmesan for this one, my friends. Begin with four to six boneless, skinless, trimmed chicken breasts. I’m actually beginning to believe fear of raw chicken is a diagnosable phobia. Place the chicken breasts inside of a Ziploc bag—either one at a time or, if the bag is gigantic like this one, all at once. I put them inside Ziplocs so that when I pound the heck out of them here in a second, microscopic particles of raw chicken will not end up across the room on my computer’s keyboard. Now THAT would gross me out the door. Pound the chicken with the smooth side of a mallet. You want them to be very thin–about 1/8 to 1/4″ thick. Add the flour to a large plate. And pepper. Then season the other side. The raw chicken is almost over. Now it’s ready to cook! And butter. Mmmm. Oh!

BBQ sauce collection I’m more of a classic buffalo sauce(Frank’s, butter, and vinegar) man myself, but I had these recipes for my favorite wings at Buffalo Wings Wings, so I thought I would share.
