Chicken ala King

Chicken ala king seems fancy, especially when served over puff pastry. But here’s the thing, it’s actually a pretty easy recipe. If you don’t feel like puff pastry, serve it over rice. We had this every year for Christmas at my grandmother’s house. She’d buy these fancy puff pastry shells, bake them up and spoon […]

Instant Pot Curry Chicken

I’m back with another family favorite as of late. This instant pot curry chicken dish comes together in a snap. It’s a great recipe if you’re new to instant pot and pressure cooking. There aren’t a lot of ingredients and no complicated instructions. It’s also a great introduction to using the saute function on your […]

Chicken Cacciatore

We eat a lot of chicken around here. When I’m ready to switch things up and prepare my favorite cuts (legs and thighs) a little differently than fried or covered and baked in barbecue sauce, I often make up a batch of chicken cacciatore. This is an old dish that’s been around for centuries. As […]

Gluten Free Sesame Chicken

Who knew making Sesame Chicken was this easy. We like this better than takeout.

I’ve been on a quest for the perfect gluten free sesame chicken recipe. My husband had been suffering from migraines for years. We’ve finally figured out that going gluten-free almost completely eliminates them. As a result, I’ve been playing around with a lot of gluten-free dishes. One thing we missed was the occasional Chinese take-out. […]

Curried Chicken

Here’s a fresh take on leftover chicken. We love roasting whole chickens or putting a large batch of chicken on the grill. Either way we usually end up with plenty of leftovers. Chicken salad is great, but sometimes you’re in the mood for something a little different – and need a quick and easy dinner […]

How To Make Bone Broth

Here's how easy it is to make that first batch of bone broth. All it takes are the leftovers from that roasted chicken, some water and a splash of Apple Cider vinegar if you have it. The only other ingredients are heat and time.

Bone broth is the liquid you get from boiling bones in water for several hours. It has a lot of nutritional value, is full of minerals and is said to help boost your immune system. It’s also very tasty and makes a wonderful base for all sorts of soups and stews. The easiest way to […]

Oven Barbecued Chicken

Oven Baked BBQ Chicken - quick and easy dinner.

Are you looking for something quick and easy to fix for dinner? I’ve got you covered. We love this recipe. The chicken is delicious for dinner, but also makes for great leftovers. You can also do the same thing with thin pork chops. Just as tasty and easy to make. 3 pounds chicken legs &/OR […]

Lemon-Peppered Chicken

A simple roasted chicken dish seasoned with lemon and pepper.

This simple dish is easy enough to make on a weeknight, but pretty enough for company. Cook the chicken quartered to get it done faster, or cook up the whole bird for a pretty presentation. Personally I prefer mine quartered. This makes quite a bit of chicken. I serve it with rice and vegetables the […]

Slowcooker Chicken and Biscuits

Easy slow cooker chicken and dumplings stew made with chicken breast, cream of chicken soup and refrigerator biscuits.

Some days you just need to curl up with a nice bowl of comfort food. And is there anything better than chicken and dumplings? Sure, it’s nice to make everything completely from scratch and I do that quite a bit. But there are also days that you know you’ll be busy or are just not […]

Chicken Bundles

Today I thought I’d share another quick family favorite with you. It uses a creamy chicken filling wrapped around crescent roll dough and baked up. Add a salad and dinner is done. I also like to make these to take with us on a picnic lunch or dinner. Wrap them in foil to keep them […]

Crockpot Orange Chicken Recipe

This is such a simple recipe. There are only 4 ingredients (chicken, orange jam, barbecue sauce and soy sauce), and it cooks to perfection in the slow cooker. Serve over some cooked rice and dinner is done. If you’re feeling fancy, steam up some broccoli or slice up some garden fresh cucumbers to go along […]

Creamed Chicken

Creamed chicken is such an easy and versatile dish (as you’ll see in a minute). It’s a staple around here. I serve it plain over noodles, rice or toast. If you have some leftover veggies sitting in the fridge, add them to the mix toward the end. Or use one of the 7 variations of […]

Chicken Pot Pie

Good o’l fashioned chicken pot pie is always a favorite around here. And if you make it from scratch, it’s a very frugal meal. Get the cheapest cut of chicken you can and just cook it. I like getting a whole chicken, cook it in the crockpot and then use some of the meat for […]

How To Butterfly A Whole Chicken – Video

A wonderfully easy and frugal meal that I often recommend for feeding a hungry family is cooking a whole chicken. With a few hearty sides, like baked potatoes and a vegetable or salad, a 3 to 4 pound chicken should feed a family of four. To make roasting a chicken even easier (and faster) I […]

Lemonade Chicken

I love this simple chicken dish. The frozen lemonade gives it just the right amount of tang. I know it may sound a little weird, but please give it a try and see if you don’t love the simple sweet and sour flavor. It’s served over rice and has some veggies in it. Just add […]
