Baked Sweet Potatoes Topped with Chicken Apple Sausage and Apples and Baked Potatoes Topped with Creamed Chicken

December 13, 2011 by Tiffany

Would you believe that delicious stuffed potato is a 15 minute meal? Now that’s fast food!

It’s super easy to fix, thanks to the sweet potato. They are all scrubbed, wrapped and ready to microwave from Express Bake PotatOH!

As soon as I was contacted by the Express Bake PotatOH! people I knew what I wanted to do with the sweet potatoes. And it didn’t disappoint. Sweet potatoes have never been topped so well. While the potatoes took a spin in the microwave, I fixed the sausage and apple topping. The entire meal was ready in about 15 minutes.

I also had the opportunity to try baked potatoes and fingerlings. Delicious and so easy! I topped the baked potatoes with creamed chicken. My kids loved it. The potatoes bake perfectly in the microwave. Express Bake PotatOHs are perfect for nights when you’re in a hurry. They can be topped with all kinds of things or eaten as a side dish. Either way, they are quick and healthy.

Here’s what you’ll need for the Sweet Potatoes topped with Chicken Apple Sausage and Apples: [Read more...]

Chicken and Broccoli “Stir Fry” in the Slow Cooker

December 9, 2011 by Tiffany

Stir fry is a cooking method that can’t really be replicated in a slow cooker.

But you can make a pretty good fake!

I’ve made this recipe twice now. It’s easy and quick to fix. The chicken gets cooked in stir fry sauce for several hours. The veggies are added later, so they don’t get mushy.

No ingredient photo this time. I was in a big hurry both times I’ve made it. [Read more...]

Olive Oil and Italian Herb Roasted Chicken with Carapelli Olive Oil

October 27, 2011 by Tiffany

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carapelli for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Did you know that fine olive oil can be tasted, like a wine or bourbon tasting? Neither did I!

Recently, Carapelli Olive Oil asked me to do a tasting of their premium extra virgin olive oil. I have to admit, the process was different but the taste was divine.

It’s best to use a blue glass when tasting olive oil. This disguises the color of the oil, which is not an indicator of quality. I didn’t know that either! I always thought that the better quality oils had a darker color. A myth of olive oil exposed. [Read more...]

Chicken and Dumplings in the Slow Cooker

October 21, 2011 by Tiffany

Chicken and Dumplings is one of my family’s favorite meals, but I don’t always have time to make the homemade version. This time, I decided to try a reader suggestion for super-quick dumplings.

The secret is flour tortillas. It doesn’t get easier than that. And I even used frozen chicken tenders, skipping the thawing. Those two time-saving steps make this meal a breeze.

Sloppy Slow Cooked Chicken Tacos

October 13, 2011 by Tiffany

This recipe was created simply by standing in front of the pantry and pulling out a few likely ingredients. I needed something that would be ready to eat when we got home, with minimal fuss required.

Oh, and I only had about 3 minutes to get it fixed and get out the door. Ever have a morning like that?

Here’s what I used to make these Sloppy Chicken Tacos, but please feel free to alter as needed. I really don’t think you can mess this up. Put in whatever you have that sounds good to you. Experiment! [Read more...]

Chicken Enchilada Soup in the Slow Cooker

September 13, 2011 by Tiffany

This is a recipe that will be made often in my house. My kids have been asking for it again already.

I first saw the recipe when Mary from Giving Up on Perfect linked it for Ingredient Spotlight. I’ve since spotted it on Pinterest several times. This soup is fantastic! And it’s easy too.

I made just a few minor changes to the way Mary fixed it. I doubled the recipe, which made a lot. It completely filled my 6 quart slow cooker. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Chicken Shwarma in the Slow Cooker

September 8, 2011 by Tiffany

I ran across a recipe for Chicken Shwarma on the blog, Jersey Girl Cooks. Lisa roasted her chicken in the oven and it looks fabulous. But being the lazy cook that I am, I decided this would work in the slow cooker.

Hot dog! I was right! My family loved this meal and I know I’ll be making it again.

I only made minor alterations to Lisa’s recipe. I changed the cooking method and more than doubled the recipe so it would feed my family. I never could find tahini, so I served it with cucumber-yogurt sauce instead. If I ever find tahini paste (Walmart, are you listening?) I’m going to try Lisa’s sauce.

Ingredient Spotlight: Chicken

August 31, 2011 by Tiffany

I’m convinced that chicken is the least photogenic food. Especially if it’s raw. This picture of bbq’ed legs isn’t too bad though.

That being said, I love chicken! It’s so versatile and easy to fix.

You can cook boneless breasts, tenders and thighs from frozen in the oven or slow cooker or grill.

You can bake whole chickens and have a “fancy” meal one night, with plenty left over for a casserole another day.

You can eat it hot, cold, in a salad, in enchiladas, in soup, in stir-fry…on a boat, in a plane, with a goat…

I already know I’m going to have trouble narrowing down a few recipes to share with you. Wait here while I go dig around for a few favorites… [Read more...]

Italian Parmesan Herb Chicken and Potatoes in the Slow Cooker

August 25, 2011 by Tiffany

I put this together before church one Sunday morning. It smelled (and tasted!) fantastic when we got home. If you have garden fresh tomatoes, they make a wonderful side dish. A simple tossed salad would be good too.

I don’t have an ingredient picture this time. I think I was too busy getting ready for church, cooking as fast as I could. I forgot to snap the photo.

I did use frozen chicken tenders and skipped thawing them. They cooked just fine. You can also save time by estimating the herb measurements instead of measuring.

Here’s the how-to: [Read more...]

Kung Pao Chicken

July 17, 2011 by Tiffany

Let me say, that when I decided to make this I had no idea what really goes in Kung Pao Chicken. I just saw a bottle of the sauce in Walmart and bought it. The rest was decided by what I had on hand.

The result turned out delicious. The Kung Pao sauce had just enough spice to lend and interesting kick. I used chicken that I had already grilled, sliced and frozen, so it was quick to make.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]
