Chicken Tetrazini – Crockpot and Oven versions

by 27 Comments

A friend brought this recipe to my family 14 years ago, when my son was born. We’ve made it often since then. And as a plus, it can cook either in the crockpot or oven!  Not only that, it can be frozen too.

This is a kid-pleasing staple for our family.

The ingredients are simple and I almost always have all of them in my pantry.  My favorite sides to serve with this casserole are broccoli and sliced tomatoes, when they are in season.

Grilled Chicken with Soy Marinade

by 4 Comments

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!
