Hawaiian Grilled Chicken

March 11, 2010 by Tiffany

I’ve been wanting to make this recipe for a long time and the Tropical Salad that goes with it. (The salad recipe will be shared tomorrow.) This weekend was so nice outside, perfect for grilling. Our grill must need cleaned because we ended up with a fire that charred most of the chicken. It had nothing to do with this chicken recipe though, so don’t let our fire deter you from making this.

The chicken marinates in a marinade made with pineapple juice and soy sauce. It make the chicken tasty and tender. I found the recipe on Bethany’s blog, For the Love of Grub. She’s got lots of yummy recipes over there. [Read more...]

Vietnamese Style Chicken Noodle Soup

January 29, 2010 by Tiffany

Two great things about this soup: 1) It’s easy and quick 2) everyone adds their own Tabasco and soy sauce so it can be mild for the picky eaters and full of flavor for the adventurous. I adapted the recipe from More with Less Cookbook. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Honey Hoisin Chicken in the Slow Cooker

November 3, 2009 by Tiffany

This dinner was waiting for us when we came in from a marathon dentist appointment today. It was so nice to throw some rice on to cook, steam some broccoli and sit down to dinner. We ate every bite of it too.

The prep is simple, with just a few ingredients. In case you’re wondering what the dixie cup in the picture holds, it’s white wine. I froze wine in dixie cups instead of using ziplock bags this time. It works great.

Vietnam Fried Rice

January 31, 2009 by Tiffany

More-with-Less is one of my favorite cookbooks. This recipe for Vietnam Fried Rice was a huge hit with my family.

Gather up your ingredients:

Vietnam Fried Rice

Yield: 8 servings

Vietnam Fried Rice

Ingredients

2 cup rice
4 Tbs. cooking oil
1 lb. any cooked or raw meat (I used 2 large boneless chicken breasts that I sliced thin)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp.. sugar
1 Tbs. soy sauce
1 cup leftover or frozen vegetables (I used frozen peas and carrots)
2 eggs, beaten

Instructions

Cook the rice.
In a hot skillet add the oil and stir fry the meat if it’s not cooked. I sprinkled some soy sauce on the chicken before I stir fried it.
Remove the meat from the skillet and add the garlic, onion, salt, pepper, sugar and soy sauce. I didn’t measure any of this, just eye-balled it.
Stir fry until the onion is cooked through.
Stir in the beaten eggs, stir frying until the eggs are done. They will not and should not look like scrambled eggs you eat for breakfast.
Add the vegetables and stir fry until they are hot through.
Add the chicken back in to the skillet, along with the rice.
Throw in some more soy sauce until it looks good to you.

Sweet and Sour Chicken

January 10, 2009 by Tiffany

We celebrated my oldest daughter’s birthday with Sweet and Sour Chicken. The recipe is adapted from the More with Less Cookbook.

Gather up your ingredients:

For the marinade:
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. soy sauce

1 lb. pork or chicken, cubed (I used 4 boneless chicken breasts)

To stir fry later:
1 clove garlic, minced
4 slices ginger root, finely chopped
1 green pepper, cut up
1 onion, cut up
20 oz can pineapple chunks, drained (reserve the juice)

For the sauce:
3 Tbs. vinegar
3 Tbs. brown sugar
2 Tbs. soy sauce
1 Tbs. cornstarch
the reserved pineapple juice

Mix up the marinade and add the chicken or pork. Let it stand 20-30 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Dredge the meat in cornstarch. Fry on all sides until brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Stir fry the garlic, ginger and vegetables in oil, 2-3 minutes. Add the sauce and cook just until the sauce thickens and clears. Return the meat to the skillet. Serve with hot rice.

I keep thinking I need to double the pineapple and sauce amounts, but I haven’t done it. We would like more sauce than what the recipe makes.

Grilled Chicken with Soy Marinade

October 14, 2008 by Tiffany

This is a simple way to dress up grilled chicken. Ingredients – equal parts soy sauce, sugar and Italian dressing. I used about 1/2 cup each.

Mix up the marinade ingredients and pour it over boneless chicken breasts. I put the chicken in a ziplock bag. You could marinate the chicken the night before you plan to cook them, or the morning before your dinner or if you’re like me, about 30 minutes before they hit the grill. Just be sure to put them in the fridge while they’re waiting for grill time.

Yes, the chicken breast in the middle is a little pale. My grill doesn’t cook even, but it does cook.

That’s it! Easy and fast. Leftovers pack up the next day as part of a salad, wrapped in a tortilla with lettuce, on a roll for a sandwich etc. I had a salad at Chic-fil-A the other day that would be easy to create at home with this chicken. (I know this blog is about eating at home, but that doesn’t mean you can never eat out!) The Chic-fil-A salad had grilled chicken, lettuce, apples, grapes, mandarin oranges, cran-raisins and a berry vinaigrette dressing. Yum! I may have to make that for dinner sometime soon!
