Man-Pleasing Chicken

Man-Pleasing Chicken
I have never gotten so many compliments before, let alone for a piece of chicken. David suggested calling this chicken, “So Good it Can’t Be Described, Explosion on Your Taste Buds Chicken.” Exactly. I have never encountered a dish that is so basic and simple to put together yet creates such a big pay off. This chicken, quite simply, is one of the most savory things I’ve ever eaten. If you are the busiest person on the planet and don’t have much cooking experience, but you have to prepare a meal to woo the love of your life, cook this chicken! To make this chicken, which you should absolutely do immediately, preheat your oven to 450º F. Put 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs into a foil-lined or disposable oven-proof, 8×8 inch baking dish. Put the chicken thighs into the oven, and let them bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165ºF. I adapted this recipe from “The I <3 Trader Joe’s Cookbook” by Cherie Mercer Twohy.

Creamy Polenta with Bacon and Cranberries Recipe Directions Watch how to make this recipe. For the polenta: Bring the broth, 2 1/2 cups water and the salt to a boil in a heavy 5-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Gradually whisk in the polenta. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and the cornmeal is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Chicken Parmigiana Italia {Electric Digital Pressure Cooker Recipe}  This is one of my favorite recipes to make. It makes chicken breasts unbelievable soft, juicy and tender without running the risk of it becoming dry and flavorless. I’ve made this several times since I’ve had my pressure cooker and it’s time I share it here on the blog. I think I would rate the difficulty level at about a 6 because of the list of ingredients and the amount of prep work before pressure cooking.

Chinese Coca-Cola Chicken Wings {Electric Pressure Cooker Recipe}  Okay, you’re probably wondering WHAT THE HECK? Chinese and Coca-Cola??? That’s an odd combination for a description. I know, I know, but that’s the whole point. That’s what caught my attention with this particular recipe and I just had to try it so I can say I did. Carrot Cake Waffles Wouldn’t it be cool if bakers got to choose flashy names like WWF Wrestlers? You could be the Vanilla Villain, the Meat Tenderizer, the Mighty Masher, the Blender Blade, the Sweaty Spatula. Ew. Nevermind that last one. Today, my flashy baking name is the Waffle Wrangler.
