    BBQ Chicken Brining Recipe

    March 15, 2024 - By 

    Today I’m sharing this amazing recipe for Brining BBQ Chicken. As we approach spring, I’m excited to get outside and get the grilled fired back up. This is one of my go to recipes for grilling. If you’ve never brined chicken before, I recommend you try it. Usually when we BBQ chicken on the grill, it tends to get dry and the only flavor you taste is the BBQ sauce on the skin. I really like the flavoring all the way through to the bone. I recommend you brine the chicken the night before and allow the chicken to soak…

    Frontera Fajita Sauce

    July 6, 2020 - By 

    Today I wanted to share with you a new to me food product that is so good! I’m usually not a fan of ready made sauces like this, but decided to give it a try. My boys love fajitas, but I find it a chore to marinade meat ahead of time and fire up the grill. All this means we don’t ever have fajitas at home! And that’s why I decided to give Frontera Fajita Sauce a shot. We all love it! So easy and so delicious! Servings: 4-6 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 15 minutes Ingredients: 1 yellow…

    Chicken & Sausage Bowtie Pasta

    May 21, 2020 - By 

    Like I said last week on Friday Favorites post, Rob has been making this recipe for years. And with us being home and me cooking nearly every night, I’ve been pretty religious with making a menu each week. That way when lunch and dinner roll around I’m not scrambling to figure something out. The fam had asked me to add this Chicken & Sausage Bowtie Pasta to the menu. I was happy to oblige and since this was my first time making Rob helped. Can you believe it? I’m actually posting a recipe. I think it has literally been years…

    Thanks to all everyone that came over from Amber I Am‘s blog! Her Southwestern Chicken Soup recipe has me ready to hop in the kitchen for sure! Is it cold where you are yet? Last week we finally felt the resemblance of fall weather here! Hallelujah! Although here in Alabama it basically goes from full on summer to full on winter, but regardless I’m happy for the change in temps. With that I’m ready for soups, stews, and chowders.

    School starts tomorrow, so again on my the hunt for some easy, make ahead comfort foods. Frozen Chicken Pot Pie was one of my favorites growing up.

    Chicken & Bacon Pasta

    January 22, 2018 - By 

    I was super excited to throw this recipe together. However, when I placed it on the table my kids weren’t thrilled about the peas and carrots in this recipe. I told them they had to have some veggies one way or another! I, personally, like the sweetness that the peas and carrots add. After trying it, my boys said it wasn’t too bad. They ended up loving it, saying they wanted to have this at least once a week. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast halves cut into…

    My family always enjoys the boneless wings that I make, but this summer I decided to try something a little different.

They are good served with your favorite rice and snap peas or even baked beans depending on your mood. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 10 minutes plus time to marinade Cooking Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: 10 chicken wings (about 2 ½ lbs) – I used the full chicken wings because I couldn’t find regular…

    May 3, 2017 - By 

    Last year for Drew’s homecoming dinner, a group of his friends were meeting up for pictures and dinner at a friend’s house. My responsibility for the meal was to bring an appetizer. Buffalo Chicken Meatballs in the crockpot is what I finally decided to try. They turned out great and were quite a hit with the entire group. I love that these Buffalo Chicken Meatballs can be prepared ahead of time and even frozen until you’re ready to throw them into the crockpot.

    Cheesy Chicken, Bacon, and Ranch Orzo

    February 24, 2016 - By 

    The other night I was craving cheesy homemade macaroni, so I was anxious to not just have it as a side. Instead wanted to make it a meal. I looked in the fridge for some inspiration. I found some bacon that needed to be used soon. After some thought, I decided to do Chicken, Bacon, and Ranch mac & cheese. However, when I looked in the pantry there was NO macaroni! The orzo that I bought months ago and haven’t figured out how to use it was staring back at me. So there ya go. I decided to give it…

    Chicken Strip Sliders

    January 4, 2016 - By 

    This is more of an idea than a recipe; Chicken Strip Sliders. Sandwiches is an easy throw together recipe often needed for a last minute tummy filler. They can be as simple as a grabbing some slider buns, chicken nuggets, or strips and your favorite sauce (honey mustard, BBQ, etc.) This week, I took it up a notch and made homemade rolls with one of my favorite sauces of all time. A copycat recipe from Chick-fil-a, their Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce. I didn’t have time to bread up chicken strips, so I just used some frozen Tyson crispy chicken strips…

    Hawaiian Chicken Marinade

    December 4, 2015 - By 

    Growing up, one of my favorite places to eat was Steak & Ale. Anybody remember that restaurant? I even had one of my birthday parties there and invited a bunch of my girlfriends back in elementary school. We all go dressed up in nice dresses and had a lovely dinner at Steak & Ale. My favorite thing to order was their Hawaiian Chicken. This Hawaiian Chicken Marinade takes me back in time. So flavorful whether you cook it outside on the grill or inside.

    Spicy Chicken Veggie Soup

    November 5, 2015 - By 

    In the morning before I left for work, I threw the raw chicken (each chicken breast cut into 4 or 5 big chunks to help them cook quicker) along with the chicken broth, carrots, onions, and garlic. I allowed that to cook for about 4 hours on high. When I came home and lunch, I pulled the chicken it, which by the way was fully cooked and cut it into small bite-size pieces. Then I threw in the everything else except the zucchini and squash because I didn’t want them to get soggy. I bumped the crockpot down to low…

    Monterey Chicken {Chili’s Copycat Recipe}

    August 20, 2015 - By 

    I posted this on my old blog way back in 2009, but recently made it again and decided to post it here. This Monterey Chicken is similar to the one that Chili’s serves. It’s got bacon, cheese, and BBQ sauce which creates lots of layers of flavor. You wouldn’t think something this good would be easy to make, but it is really simple. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 15 minutes Ingredients: 2 tbsp Olive Oil (I prefer EVOO) 4 boneless skinless chicken breast 8 teaspoons barbecue sauce 8 slices crispy bacon 1 cup shredded Monterey jack/cheddar cheese…

    Chicken Bacon Ranch Bites

    May 27, 2015 - By 

    A while back I made Sausage muffin bites and they were so easy and delicious. I had some cooked shredded chicken and some bacon that needed to be eaten.

    May 21, 2015 - By 

    The other night I had planned to make Buffalo Chicken wraps, but then I realized I was out of Buffalo sauce. I had already cooked the chicken and had already shredded it, so I was kind of left to figure out what to do with the shredded chicken. I had a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce waving at me from the pantry and then I got super excited. I also had some buns that needed to be eaten. It was a meal of destiny that ended up being a family favorite. Servings: 8 Prep Time: 5 minutes Cooking…

    May 19, 2015 - By 

    A couple weeks ago I posted the Cheez-It Breaded Chicken and it was so good, so now I’m on a quest to try all sorts of different breading. This Pretzel Breaded Chicken is crunchy and flavorful.

They were begging me to make it again the next day. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 25 minutes Cooking Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: 2 lbs. of chicken Breading Ingredients 2 cups of pretzels 1 tbs. garlic 1…

    Stuffed Pepper Soup with Chicken

    May 9, 2015 - By 

    The other day we had some amazing steak kabobs out on the grill, so I had about 3 peppers left over. I knew I needed to use them soon, and I was wanting to do something in the crockpot. I decided to chop up the peppers and some grilled chicken that I had, throw it in the crockpot with some other ingredients and call it Stuffed Pepper Soup with Chicken. It turned out so delicious. It’s no doubt one of my favs now. Servings: 6 Prep Time: 20 minutes (cook chicken and rice) Cooking Time: 6 hours Ingredients: 3 bell…

    Here’s another Recipe Remix with the Buffalo chicken. Yeah, so I’m a little obsessed, but really, who doesn’t love making something one night and then being able to pull it out the leftovers (that you made on purpose) and you them in a new recipe! These Buffalo Chicken Paninis are so yummy, easy, and different that you and your family will just love them. My family was totally stocked that I used bagels instead of hamburger buns or bread.
