Jalapeño Popper Buffalo Chicken Bundles Wrapped in Bacon Jalapeno poppers are one of my all-time favorite appetizers. Simple, spicy, perfect. I also happen to love anything with wing sauce. My Buffalo chicken dip is just one example that comes to mind. I decided to combine the two things for a fiery dish that can be made either as an entree or an appetizer. If jalapeno poppers and boneless buffalo wings had a love child, this is what it would look like. There are different versions of this that have been making the rounds on Pinterest, like bacon-wrapped jalapeno chicken bites or jalapenos stuffed with Buffalo chicken. It has all the basics: roasted jalapenos, cream cheese, chicken, wing sauce, *bacon*, and a blue cheese dressing, perfect for dipping. Start by pounding the chicken very thin. Roll each one into a little bundle and coat in Buffalo wing sauce. Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and pour a little of the wing sauce in the bottom. Serve with a side of blue cheese dressing (or ranch if you're not fond of blue cheese).
Man-Pleasing Chicken (30 Minute Meal!) Man-Pleasing Chicken is one of my husband’s favorite chicken recipes. Goes from fridge to fork in 30 minutes! Happy Monday, everyone, I hope you had a nice weekend! That’s right – while nasty weather forced us indoors nearly the entire weekend, I was able to sneak out on Friday night for wine and girl time at the new Pinot’s Palette that opened up in town. Here’s the scoop – you bring the booze and snacks, they provide the paint, instruction, music, and fun. This weekend we also had Lincoln’s 6 month pictures taken (which actually took place on the day he turned 7 months – whoops!) After the grueling shoot, I made the men some sustenance…Man-Pleasing Chicken. A few weeks ago I featured Witty in the City’s Man-Pleasing Chicken on Friday Favorites. Sauteed chicken breasts are smothered in a mouthwatering mixture of sauteed spinach, mushrooms, cream and parmesan cheese in this tasty, one-skillet supper. Anyway, this dish cooks in about 10 minutes but I tacked on an extra 20 for prep work.
Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich I certainly have been into the fresh field ripened tomatoes lately! I have been picking up at least a full basket of them every week and most weeks they have disappeared long before the end of the week. Primarily I have been enjoying them in BLT sandwiches but recently I had a new idea and that was for a caprese grilled cheese sandwich. The idea came from a caprese salad which is a nice and simple salad that consists of tomatoes, mozzarella and basil and I figured that it would make an excellent grilled cheese sandwich! For the basil component of this sandwich I decided to go with a basil pesto as I was thinking that a pesto would work better in the sandwich than straight basil leaves and the pesto would also add even more flavour. Does this grilled cheese sandwich look good?

Lasagna Stuffed Shells Recipe | Poormet Whenever I go to an Italian restaurant I order one of two things, lasagna or some sort of alfredo. It is something I could eat everyday but am too lazy to make it at home… ever… it just takes too damn long. So, in an attempt to decrease the time it takes to make lasagna (and because I stumbled across a post somewhere) I was going to do some sort of lasagna spin-off. Well, I couldn’t find what I was looking for in the store, and these giant shells were on sale so I decided to stuff them with everything that is in lasagna. This did not save me anytime at all. I can’t really call a post mine without there being some disgusting looking mixture of ingredients. The meat mix was half ground beef half sweet sausage. Next up, I got the sauce rolling and started cooking the shells according to their box. The sauce was stole from “The Worlds Best Lasagna” on allrecipes: onions, garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and sugar. Bored of regular lasagna? Ingredients 1/2 pound Ground Beef
Chicken, Leek, and Mushroom Pie from Never Enough Thyme If you like leeks, mushrooms, potatoes, and chicken, then you are going to really like today’s recipe! Although this savory pie with its roots in Irish cookery is quite filling and satisfying, it’s at the same time light. That’s because it uses phyllo pastry instead of a traditional pie crust for its topping. The phyllo is brushed with lots of butter and when cooked, it becomes a beautiful golden brown color with a crispy texture. This Chicken, Leek, and Mushroom Pie makes a lovely centerpiece for a family Sunday dinner. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel the potatoes and cut into approximately 3/4” dice. Cut the chicken breast into approximately 1/2” cubes. In a large skillet, melt half the butter over medium high heat. Add the leek and mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken, leek, and mushrooms, and cook for another one minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk while stirring. Spoon the mixture into the dish.
Chicken Enchiladas Recipe | Poormet I asked Alicia what she felt like for dinner. She responded with, “Chicken enchiladas!” I then asked Google how to make enchiladas. Tyler Florence responded with, “Chicken, random veggies, tortillas, chilies, cheese, and spices.” In the past, our enchiladas also included some rice on the inside… adds an extra texture and fills it out quite nicely. Alicia was tasked with the chicken (since she hates chopping onions). The sauce started with a saute of the onions, garlic, and chilies, then ended with a can of stewed tomatoes. A few minutes later, the chicken was added back to the pan and mixed thoroughly with the sauce. The tortillas were doused in enchilada sauce, filled with the chicken mixture, and then placed seam-side-down in the baking pan. Add your favorite toppings and go to town. If you cut back on the cheese, you can almost consider these to be fairly healthy. Chicken Enchiladas – All the Mexican flavors you are looking for in a highly modifiable recipe to suit your needs.

Balsamic BBQ Glazed Chicken A homemade balsamic bbq sauce is used to glaze chicken as it’s grilling. The result is tender chicken with a slightly sweet, and tangy taste. Summer is one of my favorite seasons for one simple reason: grilling. We finally invested in a Big Green Egg last year and it completely changed the way I think about grilling. I could go on and on about it, but I won’t, because I’m sure I’ll be talking plenty about it in a few months when it’s not cold and wet here in the Midwest, and we actually get out to use it. This recipe is all about the balsamic bbq sauce that you use to baste the chicken while it’s grilling. While I used a grill pan with great success, I know this recipe would turn out even better using a grill. Is anyone else just itching for Spring to arrive? Prep Time: 5mn Cook Time: 35mn Total Time: 40mn In a sauce pan, combine balsamic vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, black peper, and garlic powder.

Black Pepper-Garlic Chicken Here's one on my favorite Stir-fry recipes, inspired by Black Pepper Chicken served at Panda Express Restaurants. The savory sauce took a bit of tinkering, but I think this copycat version is really close... and it's delicious, too! Please... don't forget to start this recipe with Velveted Chicken. It's a very simple technique that'll turn any Chicken Stir-fry into a mouth-watering Asian masterpiece! Ingredients: 1 lb. Stir all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl, allowing about 10-15 minutes for the flavors to mingle/mature while you slice the vegetables. Stir-fry: Heat 2 Tablespoons oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add the sliced red/yellow onions to the skillet, stirring constantly for about one minute. Add the sliced celery, green onions and chopped garlic to the skillet. Add the stir-fry sauce. Add the velveted chicken, reduce the heat to medium and stir to coat. Serve over prepared Basmati or Jasmine Rice. Enjoy!
Recipe for Spicy Shrimp Sandwich with Chipotle Avocado Mayonnaise at Life I will be the first one to admit that I am not a huge sandwich person. Ryan loves them. He loves sub sandwiches, turkey sandwiches, roast beef sandwiches, meatloaf sandwiches, meatball sandwiches…I could go on and on. I on the other hand am not a huge fan. Avocados alone are pretty creamy so I was a little hesitant to mix them with mayonnaise but seriously, the result was like avocado heaven.
Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Mushrooms “This is probably my favorite way to eat chicken.” That’s a quote from my husband the last time I made Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Mushrooms for dinner. Marinate some chicken breasts in honey, mustard, and lemon, then top with bacon, mushrooms and cheese… How could that go wrong? I love to serve this dish with a side of oven fries and a crisp lettuce salad. It’s a meal full of flavor! Begin by making the marinade for the chicken. Here’s what you’ll need for the toppings: sliced fresh mushrooms, mostly cooked bacon (it will cook more when baked in the oven), grated cheddar, and fresh parsley. After the chicken has marinated, heat a small amount of oil in a large skillet. Scrape out the pan, and toss in the mushrooms. Assemble the chicken in a large baking dish. After baking for about 20 minutes, chop up some fresh parsley and sprinkle atop before serving! Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Mushrooms 1 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
