Spicy Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Breasts This is one of those recipes that I go back to time and time again and yet, I've never posted it! I love roasting bone-in chicken breasts because you get a lot more flavour and of course it doesn't dry out. I like this marinade because you get the intense flavour from the garlic and oregano ...

Black Bean Chicken
Black Bean Chicken I’m having a love affair with stir fry’s; they’re fast, easy and healthy. I'm also continuing my love affair with the Chinese take-out menu (we were on a break for a while). Enjoy :) A lightened recipe for classic Chinese takeout; Black bean sauce coated on melt-in-your-mouth chicken served with crunchy veggies ...
Chicken Parmesan
Chicken Parmesan Chicken parmesan is one of those foods that people assume is difficult and time consuming, or fattening; wrong! I have made this a few time recently and had it on the table in under an hour; including preparing the tomato sauce. Also I have kept the fat and calories to a minimum by not breading or deep frying the ...
Chicken Taco Salad
Chicken Taco Salad My mother bought me one of the pioneer woman’s cook books. Honestly as I sit here writing this I realize should know which book it is, but I don’t 🤷♀️ It has her picture on it if that helps. Anyway I was looking through it and came across her taco salad. Totally inspired this taco salad but dare I say this Taco Salad is ...
Santa Fe Chicken Quesadilla
Santa Fe Chicken Quesadilla I don’t know about you but a lot of the time my meals are inspired by the ingredients I have in my fridge. In my silly head I’m on Chopped, the entrée round!!! Here, for this recipe I had some leftover tortilla shells from my Beef Burrito recipe and some chicken leftover from my Creamy Spicy Blackened Chicken Pasta ...
Baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings
Baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings This is a fantastic recipe from a few years ago... I love taking really naughty pub food and making it practically guilt free, you still need a little restraint here, portion control and not eating the skin is key (sorry!). ...
Chicken and Dumpling Soup
Chicken and Dumpling Soup This is what we had for dinner tonight and Mike loved it :) I can’t help it, it’s winter and it’s cold and crappy and I love soup. I love everything about soup, the smell and the warmth while it cooks, curling up with a blanket and watching the snow fall while I carefully slurp the hot broth. Okay, I’m being ...
Old-Fashioned Chicken-Vegetable Bake with Cheese
Old-Fashioned Chicken-Vegetable Bake with Cheese This is literally a "dump and go" dinner that can be made ahead of time and then put in the oven whenever you're ready! I don't like using the word "dump" to describe food. ...
Turkey Ala King
Turkey ala King This recipe is another great example of how a 'cream' sauce doesn't have to be fattening. I've used 1/2 a tbsp of butter only and that really is enough to give off that great flavour. Plus, this recipe calls for cooked, lean turkey breast (a shout-out to our thanksgiving dinner) AND it starts with a MASSIVE pan of vegetables!!! ...
Creamy Mushroom and Turkey Tetrazzini
Creamy Mushroom and Turkey Tetrazzini I made a tetrazzini recipe a few years ago and when I looked back at it I decided I wanted to make it in a completely different way. Here I've made the 'cream' sauce with milk and poached a very lean turkey breast to include in the casserole. My other recipe was amazing but man, this one rocked!!! Serves ...
Rosemary and Lemon Brined Grilled Chicken Breasts
Rosemary and Lemon Brined Grilled Chicken Breasts Without a doubt, the most amazingly delicious chicken. This brine is a variation of My “I Challenge ALL Claims to the Ultimate Brine” Turkey Brine, brine. This dish is very easy but does require planning. Interestingly, I came across an article discussing brining, the day I made this for ...
Oven-Fried Chicken
Oven-Fried Chicken I'm laughing as I write this recipe because its THAT easy, I'm not even sure it counts as a recipe 🤷♀️ This is how you do it: Preheat your oven to 425. In a large bowl, mix together the flour with the spices. working in batches, add the chicken pieces, rotating a few times to completely coat the chicken pieces ...
