In Vicki’s household, chicken enchiladas are a favorite birthday dinner request. Her original recipe was time-consuming, so she came up with a few short cuts that make this meal’s preparation a pleasure vs. a chore. Making these in advance? Put unbaked enchiladas in the freezer and when needed, bring to room temperature and bake. It’s […]

We are all eating at home more than usual during these trying times. This recipe will make more than one meal. Simply freeze leftovers in small Ziploc bags for individual portions and you’re all set for another dinner or lunch.
This is a quick week night dinner and was a huge hit with our grandchildren – just leave out the red pepper flakes if serving to young kids.
This recipe was inspired by Gina Homolka’s cookbook, The Skinnytaste. We added a few more spices to give it a little kick. Using olive oil and lemon juice as the liquid for the breading process keeps calories down to about 200 calories per roll. Spraying the chicken prior to cooking with cooking spray gives the breadcrumb […]
Easy … Easy … Easy. This marinade comes together in a flash, the chicken sits in the refrigerator overnight (or at least for several hours), and bakes in under an hour. A great recipe for entertaining a crowd. Another great thing, it can be served at room temperature so you can have fun at your […]
Don’t let the strange ingredients fool you; this tastes fantastic! The chicken marinades overnight, so a little advanced planning is necessary. This is also a wonderful buffet dish! Adapted from Silver Palate.
Assemble in this dish in advance, then pour marinade over the skewers 20 minutes before grilling.
Here’s a tasty recipe that will have lunch or dinner on the table in no time. We ate it for lunch yesterday and it was delicious. Also, this meal is very economical; for about $20.00, you can feed a family of four.
Leftover chicken? This is a great way to use it up. You could also make these with cooked shrimp instead of chicken. Either way, they are a crowd pleaser for an appetizer, lunch, or dinner. To make a complete meal, serve along with rice, a green salad, and tortilla chips.
Moist grilled chicken with a “kick” topped with a sweet mango salsa – wow doesn’t that sound good? If you are having a crowd over, just double or triple the recipe, as this is a great “make ahead” meal served at room temperature. Another tip – make extra chicken to use another day for chicken […]

This recipe has been perfected over the years and is spectacular. Don’t let the word “spicy” fool you. It has a little kick, but is not overly spicy. The crunch of the peanuts, lettuce, and cucumber go great with the perfectly moist chicken. This recipe for four is under 300 calories per serving, so don’t […]
This is one of those recipes. A recipe where whenever or wherever it is served, people must have it. Maybe it’s the crunch of the pretzel coating, or the tenderness of the chicken, or the delicious flavor combinations of the mustard sauce, but it is a 100% crowd pleaser. One of the pluses of this […]
You will love serving this salad at your next simple celebration. Feel free to substitute shrimp or sliced flank steak for the chicken. These ingredients are per plate/person.
