I know, I know. Cottage pie is filled with beef and not chicken. But I love to switch it up from time to time. Whatever you’d like to call it, it was stinking amazing! I actually ended up liking it more than the traditional cottage or shepherd’s pie. Filling: 2 large Chicken Breasts; cubed 1Continue reading “Chicken Cottage Pie”

Smoky Tortilla Soup
This is one of my favorite ways of using up extra shredded chicken. 😋 It’s so flavorful and quick! It’s been a hit with my family for a long while and I don’t think that’ll change anytime soon. ❤️ 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil 1 cup Onion; chopped 1 small Jalapeño; cored and chopped 3 clovesContinue reading “Smoky Tortilla Soup”
Jerk Chicken Gyros
Last night’s (and tonight’s) dinner. Jerk Chicken Gyros. I normally cook them on the smoker, but my handy-dandy skillet did the trick. I used up the last of my Jerk Seasoning mix, so it’s definitely time to make some more. Jerk Seasoning: 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder 1 teaspoon Onion Salt 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika 1Continue reading “Jerk Chicken Gyros”
Smoky Chicken Caesar Wrap
I made Caesar dressing for the first time and I’m never buying the bottled stuff ever again. It took a minute to make and it was so much fresher! After yesterday’s insanely rich Cajun Shrimp Pasta, I really needed something a bit lighter. This really hit the spot and it’s portable, so I can justContinue reading “Smoky Chicken Caesar Wrap”
Chicken & Vegetable Curry
Day 36 of the #PantryChallenge I had a lot of the Curried Sweet Potato Soup I made last night left over so I repurposed it. Chicken & Vegetable Curry is what’s for dinner! I normally add cauliflower, sugar snap peas and zucchini but didn’t have any on hand. 1 quart Chicken Broth 3 large SweetContinue reading “Chicken & Vegetable Curry”
Honey Mustard Chicken Croissant Rolls
Day 21 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge I needed to use up some of the generic brand crescent/croissant tubes I bought on special for 89¢ and stashed in my freezer a while back. I don’t really like my sweet main dishes to be cloyingly sweet, so I often add chiles, garlic, onion and vinegar. NotContinue reading “Honey Mustard Chicken Croissant Rolls”
Copycat Panda Express Sweet Fire Chicken
Day 16 of my 8 week Pantry Challenge! I almost caved and ordered Panda Express. I REALLY wanted their Sweet Fire Chicken, Broccoli Beef and Fried Rice. But then I remembered that it costs $12/plate and I have what I need to make it for around $5. You can use bottled Sweet Chile Sauce asContinue reading “Copycat Panda Express Sweet Fire Chicken”
“Tokyo Joes” Brown Rice Thai Peanut Chicken Bowls
Day 14 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge 2 weeks in and I’ve saved around $400! One of my favorite restaurants I frequented VERY regularly over the 14 years I lived in Colorado was Tokyo Joes. I miss their Brown Rice Thai Peanut Chicken Bowls. I’ve been making my own for 6 years now and they’reContinue reading ““Tokyo Joes” Brown Rice Thai Peanut Chicken Bowls”
Copycat P.F. Chang’s Crispy Honey Chicken
Day 7 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge No eating out, no take-out and no new groceries. Another part of this challenge is to stop food waste in my kitchen. I was supposed to make Baked Bean Burgers today, but had some chicken breasts, cauliflower and leftover Sprite Batter in my fridge that I needed toContinue reading “Copycat P.F. Chang’s Crispy Honey Chicken”
