Chicken


One of my favorite easy weeknight dinners is chicken marsala. Made with sauteed mushrooms in a marsala wine sauce, this dinner has become a regular in our household for years. Typically I buy two chicken breasts and split them to make four pieces. This is a great method to stretch a few pieces of chicken out to feed more people. By pounding the chicken out, it also shortens the cooking time making this dinner a doable meal under 30 minutes from start to finish. [click to continue…]

A couple years ago I would occasionally order Starbucks Chicken Curry Salad with Couscous when I hadn’t had lunch and needed a quick bite to eat.  I was sad when they discontinued making and selling this salad because it was one of my favorites.  Although I miss the salad, I don’t miss paying $5.50 for it!  Chicken Curry Salad isn’t hard to make at home either.  One large salad cost me $1.35 to make at home.  That’s a savings of $4.15!

This week I’m participating in the United Way Hunger Challenge and for lunch I prepared this salad for my husband and I.  Not only is this salad healthy, it is quite inexpensive to make.  One boneless chicken breast will make enough chicken salad for 4 servings.  Scooped and served on a bed of couscous and lettuce, this salad has become a favorite around here.  Here is my version of this popular recipe.

I love a good casserole, don’t you?  You know what I love more?  When I get to eat a good casserole, especially when I’m not the one who prepared it!

A few years ago my husband (bless his heart) tried his hand at making a casserole.  You would have to know him to understand how thoughtful it was of him to do this.  Let’s just put it this way, cooking and baking is not something which comes naturally to him.  Eating what I bake and cook is entirely a different story.

You’ve heard of coconut prawns or shrimp. Meet its cousin, coconut chicken. Last weekend we celebrated my daughter’s 8th Birthday with a house filled with girls, Hannah Montana, and food fit for a princess. When deciding on a menu my daughter requested her favorite dish, coconut chicken tenders. Who could blame her? Each tender is dipped in sweetened egg batter, coated with a panko coconut mixture and pan-fried to perfection. [click to continue…]

Last week Amazing Taste Seasoning sent me a box of seasonings to enjoy and review. Since receiving them we’ve tried the “Malibu” seasoning, but when I grilled those last week I was being intentional about using them. Last night was a whole different ball game.

Typically when I wait to the last minute to cook, I will season meat with salt and pepper. But last night I remembered reading on the back of the Amazing Taste packet that you only needed to marinade the chicken for 5 minutes. [click to continue…]
