Put together with a handful of ingredients from the refrigerator and pantry, this was a very quick and simple soup that was a delicious weekend lunch. Dicing the potatoes extra small allowed the soup to be ready to eat in under 20 minutes. Soups are one of my favorite ways to use up small amounts of leftovers in the refrigerator. I resisted the urge to add beans to this soup, despite the fact that I have a well-documented habit of adding beans...
Spicy bites of grilled chicken mixed with seriously flavorful rice to create this impromptu Mexican dinner. I made a huge batch of Chipotle Chicken last week and was left with several pieces of chicken after dinner. I combined that spicy chipotle chicken with my favorite Mexican flavors and made my own version of Arroz con Pollo. This recipe turned out even better than I had hoped. My initial sampling turned into almost a...
I love the convenience of a one dish meal that combines meat, potato and vegetables. Roasted red potatoes and brussels sprouts are tossed with sauteed mushrooms, roast chicken and bits of bacon for this simple casserole style dinner. The combination is a savory blend of great flavors. Because everything is cut bite-size, each bite is full of all the different flavors. The whole family enjoyed this meal and there wasn’t a bit of food...
Crisp lettuce, tender chicken, sweet berries and toasted almonds are tossed with a warm citrus vinaigrette in this flavor packed summer salad. I used Mojo Chicken when I made this meal. The citrus marinade on the chicken was an excellent complement to the flavors in this salad. If you aren’t up for grilling or turning on your oven, a store bought rotisserie chicken would work fine in this salad as well. Get New Recipessent to...
Tender chunks of roast chicken, creamy white beans and fresh kale combine with a sprinkling of herbs and a bit of chicken broth to make a surprisingly hearty meal. Topped with a generous sprinkling of cheese, my husband and I both agreed that this soup was delicious. My boys weren’t big fans of the kale. All three of them requested that I put their kale in a smoothie next time instead of soup. At least they like kale most of...
Spinach artichoke dip meets chicken in this absolutely delicious meal. I ran across this recipe on my friend Robyn’s blog and immediately added artichokes to my shopping list. I made this the week before Christmas and then I made it again last week. My oldest son is not a big fan of chicken and he requested the leftovers both times. I served the chicken with roasted potatoes and a salad the first time I made it. The next time,...
This is sweet and tangy chicken, perfectly caramelized and fall off the bone tender. If you’ve been following this blog for very long at all, you probably have an idea of how much we enjoy chicken. With over a hundred chicken recipes that I happily recommend, I think you’ll understand the seriousness of my next statement. When I first tasted this chicken, I couldn’t resist raving about it on Facebook! (If you...
Tender chicken and sweet corn are combined in a creamy soup with just enough heat to warm your mouth without setting it on fire. My entire family loves this soup, even my non-spice loving middle son. Combine that with the fact that it takes barely 20 minutes to pull this soup together, and you’ll understand why this is a frequently eaten meal in our house! Quick soups are one of my favorite ways to get dinner on the table in the fall. I...
When I first moved out on my own, and then later as young newlywed, the idea of spending even a few extra minutes or a few extra ingredients to create a sauce for a piece of meat or dish of pasta was beyond stressful for me. I was not an experienced home cook and any extra steps in a recipe or needing to spend a few extra minutes in the kitchen caused me to frequently panic. While I don’t consider myself to be an expert in all kitchen things...
Tangy, sweet, Huli Huli Chicken is Hawaii’s version of barbecue chicken. The chicken is marinated and then glazed as it cooks, it is loaded with flavor from pineapple, ginger, brown sugar and soy sauce. I ran across this recipe over a year ago and pinned it to try someday. I’m not sure how “someday” became a year and a half later, but I’m glad it was finally made. I’ve made this chicken twice in two weeks and each time,...
