  • Chicken bacon Ranch casserole

    This is the casserole recipe I used to win the Kick-asserole competition. 

    As I mentioned there, clearly, chicken, bacon, and Ranch has always been a great combination. The secret here is in the sauce – it really brings this dish up several notches on the awesome dinners ladder.

    Many many thanks to FlavorMosiac.com, who look like they have some other really awesome recipes I’ll definitely be checking out.

    Ingredients:

    • 12 oz uncooked penne pasta
    • 2 tbsp butter
    • 2 tbsp flour
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
    • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 1 envelope Ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix
    • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
    • 2 cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts, shredded
    • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
    • 12 oz frozen peas
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • Rosemary and olive oil chicken tenders with chipotle mayonnaise

    I made this for dinner last night, and am planning on preparing it again for lunch tomorrow. Because, holy crap.

    So, I’m shamelessly in love with the rosemary and olive oil Triscuit crackers with Muenster cheese – those specific crackers with that specific cheese is my favorite snack.

    After staring at the chicken tender recipe on the back of the box for months and months and months I finally decided to try it. I found a simple chipotle mayonnaise recipe off AllRecipes, which I will most definitely be using for other things as well.

    Ingredients:

    • 1/4 cup flour
    • 2 eggs, beaten
    • 1 tbsp water
    • 24 Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits, crushed
    • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
    • 10 – 12 chicken tenders (about 1 pound)
    • 1/2 cup chipotle mayonnaise*

    *Chipotle mayonnaise:

    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
    • 1 tbsp adobo sauce

    The chipotles in adobo sauce you can get in a 7 oz can. You’ll definitely have some leftover after this recipe. Which is good, because you’ll most certainly be wanting to make more of this mayonnaise.

    You’ll also need cooking spray or butter for greasing.

    White meat versus dark meat! I used to believe white meat was superior, but I’ve come around and like them both about the same now. I just love chicken in general, really.

    Here’s the breakdown of the difference between the two.

  • Food history: chicken noodle soup

    Both chicken soup and noodle soup have been around for centuries, but it was Campbell’s who really brought the two together, culminating in the now famous chicken noodle soup. 

    But the name itself was an accident.

  • Food history: chicken cordon bleu

    Unlike other Food History posts, the background of chicken cordon bleu is not a long one – it is in fact a fairly recent addition to the American palate.

    Chicken cordon bleu is not one of those recipes that was simply created one day; it is a dish that evolved over time. (more…)
