Family-Favorite Chicken Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #153

Lolli — Tue, 19 Feb 2019 12:01:56 +0000

Happy Tuesday! This past week has been a whirlwind of excitement for our family. We’ve been slowly preparing to move for the last several months, but kicked the process into high gear this week when we found what seemed like our dream house.

We still love the location and the idea of the house, but the reality was that the house was in very bad shape and the owners were seriously loony.

The good news is that we’ve held onto that motivation to move faster on the things we need to do at our house to get it ready to sell and then find a new place.

It’s all good.

This week for Delicious Dishes, we’ve chosen some delicious chicken recipes that are sure to become new family-favorites. Once I have a working kitchen again, I’ll be making ALL of these chicken dishes for sure!

Welcome to Delicious Dishes Recipe Party! In case you’re new to the party, here’s what you need to know:

Braised Balsamic Chicken

Lolli — Fri, 24 Aug 2018 13:50:48 +0000

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of ABSCos. The opinions and text are all mine.

A busy mom can never have too many quick and easy chicken recipes in her dinner-time arsenal. As we head back into another school year, the kids may be thinking about meeting new teachers or getting used to new classes and schedules, but I’m thinking about how much busier my afternoons and evenings will be when the kids are back into after-school sports and homework. I may not have as much time to prepare dinner once school is in session, but I don’t want to sacrifice taste or quality, either.

I’ve been asking my good friends and family for their favorite quick weeknight dinner ideas, and this braised balsamic chicken from my sister was one of the first recipes we tried. It was such a hit with my family that we quickly added it to our regular dinner rotation.

This past week, I made braised balsamic chicken with Open Nature® Air Chilled Boneless Skinnless Chicken Breasts and I could not believe how moist and tender and flavorful they were!

If you’re like me, at this point, you’re probably asking, “What in the world is air chilled chicken??” Put simply, air-chilled chickens are individually processed in cold chambers with purified air. But it’s so much more than that.

You can buy O Organics® Air Chilled Chicken and Open Nature® Air Chilled Chicken at your local Safeway store. Here’s just a little about what makes O Organics® and Open Nature® Air Chilled Chicken different.

About Open Nature® Air Chilled Chicken:

Individually processed with purified air for 100% more natural flavor
The chicken meat is higher in highly desirable Omega-3 Fatty acids due to a proprietary flaxseed-enriched feed (meat contains up to 3x more omega-3s than conventional vegetarian-fed chicken)
Up to 40% Lower in dietary cholesterol due to a proprietary flaxseed-enriched feed (contains up to 21% less cholesterol (will vary by cut) than conventionally-fed chicken)
Lower in saturated fat (vs. conventional vegetarian-fed chicken), a fat that many health organizations advise Americans to eat less of
Cage free and American Humane Association certified
Naturally moist, even when skinless

About O Organics® Air Chilled Chicken:

The chicken meat is higher in highly desirable Omega-3 fatty acids due to a proprietary 100% organic flaxseed-enriched feed (meat contains up to 3x more omega-3s than conventional vegetarian-fed chicken)
Up to 40% Lower in dietary cholesterol due to a proprietary flaxseed-enriched feed (contains up to 21% less cholesterol (will vary by cut) than conventionally-fed chicken)
Lower in saturated fat (vs. conventional vegetarian-fed chicken), a fat that many health organizations advise Americans to eat less of
Cage free and American Humane Association certified

O Organics Air Chilled Chicken are fed a 100% organic vegetarian diet

This is chicken that you can feel good about feeding your family!

Ready to see my sister’s quick and easy braised balsamic chicken recipe? To serve this chicken dish recently, I made a side of garlic mashed red potatoes. The sauce from the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar is wonderful as a mashed potato “gravy” but if you’re looking for a lighter dish, you can serve the chicken with sauteed zucchini or green beans from the garden.

Yield: 4 servings

Braised Balsamic Chicken

This light and flavorful braised balsamic chicken pairs wonderfully with a side of garlic mashed red potatoes. The sauce from the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar is wonderful as a mashed potato “gravy” but if you’re looking for a lighter dish, you can serve the chicken with sauteed zucchini or green beans from the garden.

Ingredients

4 Open Nature Air Chilled boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic, minced
2 Tbs olive oil
1 onion, sliced thin
½ Cup balsamic vinegar
3 large garden-fresh tomatoes, diced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

Pat chicken dry and season with pepper and salt. Heat oil in a medium skillet and brown chicken breasts with the sliced onion for 3-5 minutes per side.
Pour balsamic vinegar and diced tomatoes over the chicken and sprinkle spices over all. Bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve hot with a side of mashed potatoes or sauteed garden vegetables.

Homemade Memphis BBQ Sauce {Playing With Fire Cookbook}

Lolli — Fri, 13 Apr 2018 15:56:55 +0000

Love a good BBQ? Me too! Clarkson Potter sent me a copy of Playing With Fire AND is providing a prize pack for one of my lucky readers! All opinions and photos of my recipe recreation are my own. Amazon affiliate links are included.

The weather is finally starting to feel like spring, and I can’t wait for BBQ season to be here in full magnificence. There’s nothing quite like hot, flavorful barbecue.

I’ve spent the last week drooling over the recipes in Michael Symon’s new cookbook, Playing With Fire. The recipes are easy to follow, the dishes flavorfully delicious, and the photos are stunning. I want to make EVERYTHING.

I decided to start simply and recreate the recipe for Memphis BBQ Sauce (along with a side of Broccoli Salad). The sauce was a hit with the entire family, and a perfect addition to some grilled chicken. The recipe is included below, along with a fabulous giveaway that you won’t want to miss!

About MICHAEL SYMON’S PLAYING WITH FIRE

Co-host of The Chew and celebrated Iron Chef and restaurateur Michael Symon returns to a favorite subject, meat, with his first cookbook focused on barbecue and live-fire grilling, with over 70 recipes inspired by his newest restaurant, Mabel’s BBQ, in his hometown of Cleveland. In preparing to open his barbecue restaurant, Mabel’s BBQ, Michael Symon enthusiastically sampled smoked meat from across America.

The 72 finger-licking, lip-smacking recipes here draw inspiration from his favorites, including dry ribs from Memphis, wet ribs from Nashville, brisket from Texas, pork steak from St. Louis, and burnt ends from Kansas City–to name just a few–as well as the unique and now signature Cleveland-style barbecue he developed to showcase the flavors of his hometown. Michael offers expert guidance on working with different styles of grills and smokers, choosing aromatic woods for smoking, cooking various cuts of meat, and successfully pairing proteins with rubs, sauces, and sides.

If you are looking for a new guide to classic American barbecue with the volume turned to high, look no further.

This sauce is perfect for any grilled meats, but is especially tasty on grilled chicken!

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, halved and finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt
2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup dark molasses
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Instructions

1. In a medium nonreactive saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, celery seeds, and red pepper flakes, whisking to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors come together, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and blend or puree until smooth. Stir in the vinegar.

2. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

**Baste grilled foods with sauce only during the final stages of grilling to prevent the sugars in the sauce from burning.

Note from our family: we found that the sauce was even tastier the 2nd day!

Interested in the recipe for the broccoli salad that is pictured here? That can be found on page 210 of Playing With Fire! The sauce is made with plain Greek yogurt and is simply delicious!

Easy Irish Colcannon and Cooked Perfect® Fire Grilled Chicken

Lolli — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 20:04:35 +0000

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cooked Perfect® Fire Grilled Chicken for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

St. Patrick’s Day is approaching fast, and as someone with a lot of Irish blood flowing through my veins, I love to celebrate each year in two ways. First, I wear lots of green (nobody wants to get pinched!) and second, I make some fun St. Patrick’s Day themed food. It’s easy to make green desserts for the kids, but dinner time can be a little trickier. This year, I was on a mission to find a meal that everyone would LOVE (and eat!) that didn’t take me all day to plan or prepare.

I hit the jackpot!

I think the BEST compliment I received after serving this delicious St. Patrick’s Day dinner was from my husband. Everyone loved the Cooked Perfect® Fire Grilled Chicken (Bourbon BBQ Wings!) and they were polished off pretty quickly. When my son wanted more chicken, I offered to heat some more up. My husband said that we’d finished it all, but I disagreed. I pulled a second bag of wings out of the freezer, and my husband said, “What?! That was frozen chicken? I totally thought you’d made those from scratch.”

Mission accomplished!

Because pre-dinner time is the busiest time in our house, I love finding meals that take some of the meal prep off my hands…especially when they taste THIS good. I grabbed two bags of the Bourbon BBQ Wings at the grocery store the other day (we have a big family – and teenagers – so I wanted to make sure we had plenty!).

Cooked Perfect Fire Grilled Chicken comes in a variety of tasty flavors, and you can choose a variety of cuts as well, such as wings, tenders, drumsticks, thighs or chunks. I was drawn to the Bourbon BBQ because it’s a flavor I know everyone in the family already likes, but I could have easily gone with any of the other flavors, like Buffalo Ranch, Wildflower Honey BBQ, Lemon Herb, Zesty Herbs and Spice, Szechuan, Korean Style, or Classic Style.

Seriously, my mouth is watering!

The best thing about Cooked Perfect Fire Grilled Chicken is that it is super flavorful, convenient and easy to prepare, and perfect for serving as-is with delicious sides. I decided to serve our Bourbon BBQ Chicken Wings with a side of broccoli and Irish-style mashed potatoes, or Colcannon.

Did I mention that this meal was a hit? Our colcannon side dish was so tasty, and I got it ready while the chicken was in the oven.

Colcannon, or Irish-Style Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
1/2 a head cabbage, shredded
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 Tbsp butter
3 green onions, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1 cup milk (I used 2%)
4-6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

Directions:
1. Fill a large saucepan about 1/2 full with water; heat to boiling. Add chopped cabbage and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer cabbage until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set cabbage aside, leaving the cooking liquid in the pan.

2. Add the potatoes to the hot water; add additional water if needed to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes, then return them to the dry pot.

3. Meanwhile, heat butter and green onions in a medium saucepan for 2-3 minutes at medium heat. Add salt, pepper, parsley, and milk. Stir until heated through. Add bacon crumbles.

4. Stir hot milk mixture into drained potatoes. Add reserved cooked cabbage and mash together until mixed and smooth.

Serve hot with Cooked Perfect Fire Grilled Chicken for a perfect St. Patrick’s Day meal! I promise your family will not be disappointed!

Cooked Perfect Fire Grilled Chicken is found in the frozen foods aisle of your favorite grocery store, and is easy to prepare in the oven or microwave. We tried both methods and loved them both! find a store near you! Want more ideas? Browse Recipes & Save $1.50

Creamy Verde Chicken Chili

Lolli — Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:59:44 +0000

This post is sponsored by Harmony Books. All thoughts and ideas are my own.

Dinner time is complicated enough in a busy family like mine. I want to feed my family healthy, wholesome foods, and instill good eating habits in my growing children. But dinner time is also the time when I’m running to pick up kids from after-school sports, finishing up projects for work, and running low on energy myself. Some days I admit I’m tempted to grab something quick and not-so-good-for-us.

This month, I was sent a copy of the brand new cookbook, Trim Healthy Mama’s Trim Healthy Table By Pearl Barrett and Serene Allison. Trim Healthy Mama’s Trim Healthy Table is published by Harmony Books and is available for purchase now!

This cookbook is filled to the brim with family-friendly recipes that focus not only on making better choices in the kitchen, but also on the value of sitting down together for family dinner. I love “fixing up” old family favorites, and this book had page upon page of family-friendly dishes.

One of the first recipes that caught my eye was a recipe for Creamy Verde Chicken Chili – something totally up my family’s alley. We love Tex-Mex flavors!

When I saw the ingredients list, I admit I was a little skeptical. Okra and cauliflower in chicken chili? I was afraid my kids would turn their noses up at “hidden” healthy ingredients. After all, my kids are teenagers, so it’s not very easy to sneak anything past them!

I was amazed at how easy this recipe was to prepare. I put the chicken, salsa, beans, tomatoes, cauliflower, chicken broth, and seasoning blend* into my pressure cooker. Then I blended together the remaining ingredients and poured the mixture on top of everything. I closed and sealed the lid and turned the pressure cooker on. Then I waited while my house filled with the delicious smells of the Southwest.

I was shocked when my kids started eating that they immediately began commenting on how delicious it was. And then I was even more startled when they all reached for seconds to fill up their bowls again.

We will definitely be making this delicious chicken chili again in the near future. I can’t wait to try more of the recipes in this cookbook! I’m excited to try new ways to feed my family more healthy alternatives, while not sacrificing the time that we have together.

*the frozen small-cut seasoning blend is found in the frozen vegetable section of your grocery store and contains diced onion, celery, and bell pepper.

Favorite Grilling Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #79

Lolli — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 11:00:24 +0000

Happy August!! This is the month I’ve waited ALL summer for! It’s finally time for vacations and travel. This week starts my mega month of travel, and I can’t wait! Yes, I know that work will be challenging to keep up with from the road, but it will be worth it to have a break.

Now that a huge majority of my time is spent in sales with my LuLaRoe business, I worry about being gone for several weeks and missing precious sale opportunities. So I’m pushing for some amazing sales while I’m in town and would LOVE for you to join me over in my group. We’ve got SO many fun things going on right now.

Summer, and especially August, is the perfect time to get out the grill and cook outside instead of heating up the kitchen (it’s HOT enough in there!!). A few of my personal faves include…..

Pressure Cooker Ham & Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Jody — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 13:44:06 +0000

Having a pressure cooker has really taken the pressure off me (pun totally intended) at dinner time. If I forget to thaw meat for dinner or want a super delicious and quick meal, it’s there for me. One of my favorite things to toss in the pressure cooker is chicken breasts -even better if they are crammed full of all kinds of tasty goodies. Ham & Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts are right at the top of my list!

Ham & Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless breasts

8 pieces thin sliced deli ham

fresh spinach

white cheddar

1 tsp. garlic salt

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Slice a pocket in your chicken breast along one side; be careful not to cut all the way through.

2. Cut a thick chunk of white cheddar cheese; place inside 2 pieces of ham and stuff into chicken.

3. Grab a handful of washed fresh spinach and stuff it in there too; use this to help your cheese stay inside.

Season outside of chicken breast well with salt, pepper, and garlic salt or powder. Use your pressure cooker’s brown feature to brown both sides of chicken breast in a small amount of olive oil. Then place chicken on top of the trivet of your cooker over 1 1/2 cups water.

Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes; release pressure naturally and keep the chicken in the pot for 8 additional minutes. Remove and serve with your favorite side for a tasty meal!

Pressure Cooker Greek Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Jody — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 01:11:18 +0000

I got a pressure cooker (Amazon link) last year for my birthday and for over 6 months it sat in the unopened box in my pantry, taunting me. I had big plans for it – canning, meals, desserts – but I was intimidated by it so I didn’t even open the plastic. Then I just decided I had to give it a try and I was left wondering where the heck had this amazing thing been all my adult cooking life?

Forgot to pull meat for dinner? No problem! In a rush and need a full meal in 30 or less? Yep, it can do that. So now I am obsessed with my pressure cooker and use it at least twice a week for mouthwatering dinners in a flash like this recipe for Pressure Cooker Greek Stuffed Chicken Breasts- I even whipped up a from scratch Tzatziki sauce to top it with!

Ingredients:

2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup feta cheese

4-6 pepperoncini peppers

1 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground black pepper

Tzatziki sauce:

1/2 cup greek yogurt

1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. dried oregano

2 T. grated cucumber

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

Directions:

If your chicken breasts are large like mine were, cut them in half and then slice a pocket in the center of one side, careful not to cut it all the way through. Otherwise for smaller ones you can just serve one per person.

2. Stuff pocket in chicken breast with feta, I chose one that was seasoned with sun-dried tomatoes and basil for more ready to go flavor!

3. Season the outside with salt, pepper, and oregano.

4. Turn pressure cooker on brown and give both sides of your chicken a nice brown on each side.

5. Remove stuffed chicken breasts from the pressure cooker and set aside. Add 1 cup chicken broth and 1/2 the juice from a jar of pepperoncini to pressure cooker. Place steamer basket/tray in cooker and lay your chicken on top with a pepperoncini on top.

6. Place your lid on top securely, be sure the steam valve is closed. Cook for 8 minutes on high pressure, release pressure naturally and allow chicken to sit for another 8 minutes.

7. While your chicken sits you can toss together this yummy tzatziki sauce! Just mix together greek yogurt, lemon juice, oregano, grated cucumber, salt and pepper. Place in fridge until ready to drizzle over chicken mixture.

Easy Pesto Chicken and Vegetables

I’ve partnered with Peapod to create this content. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

The past 6 weeks have been crazier than ever. Because I launched a new business last week, I’ve been frantically running around trying to get ready for the launch, and one of the things that has suffered the most has been grocery shopping and meal planning. If I thought I didn’t have a lot of time to spare before, it’s 100 times worse now! Luckily, Peapod has saved me more than once during this past month.

Not only is ordering my groceries online a MUCH faster way to stock my pantry, it has also helped me during this busy time so that I don’t accidentally run out of staples like bread, milk, and eggs. Thank goodness for that Peapod delivery guy! I don’t even have to leave my house to fill my fridge and my pantry shelves with the food I need to feed my (sometimes demanding) family.

Another thing that has been so helpful lately has been my pressure cooker. When I wait til the last minute to prepare dinner, it’s ok. My pressure cooker gets a hot meal ready for the table in no time at all.

I whipped up this simple but tasty pesto chicken and vegetables recently, and it was a hit with everyone in the family! It couldn’t be easier, with basic ingredients I was able to add to my Peapod cart. It’s a fun variation to a classic chicken and potatoes dinner. The pesto gives everything a delicious flavor!

Yum

Easy Pesto Chicken and Vegetables

Ingredients

3-4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
5-6 medium potatoes, skin on
1-2 cups baby carrots (or large carrots, sliced)
1 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (6-8 oz) jar basil pesto
1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

Cut chicken and potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Add chicken, potatoes, chopped onion and carrots to the Instant Pot.
Add pesto and 1 cup chicken broth. Stir into chicken and vegetable miszture.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure that the top valve is on "sealing."
Select high pressure cook for 10 minutes (press "manual, then + or - to select time).
When the Instant Pot beeps at the end of the pressure cooking time, you can let the pressure release on it's own (slow release) or push cancel again and switch the top valve to "venting" for quick release.
