I like to call meals like this "double cook" meals. It doesn't mean that they are harder to cook, or take twice the amount of time. It just means that they cook in two ways. In this case, the chicken is browned on the stovetop, then baked in the oven. All in the same cast iron skillet. The flavor in this sauce is off the hook. It's cray. It's bae. (Please pardon my … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili
Ever heard of wanting to face plant into your dinner? Apparently it's a 'thing' and this is the kind of meal that makes me want to plant my face right into the bowl. Because YUM.

It's … [Read more...]

Baked Honey Mustard Chicken
KID FAVORITE ALERT. This is a kid favorite. It's chicken. It's dippable. It's yellow. And it's delicious. In this recipe, I've added a touch of vinegar into the marinade and the reason for that is to cut down on the chicken-y flavor. Sometimes baked chicken has a chicken-y flavor that is just too chicken-y, so I add vinegar to cut that down. (If you don't know what I'm … [Read more...]

Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken
Lemon Pepper Chicken might be my favorite way to grill chicken. Why? Because the lemon juice does such an amazing job of tenderizing the chicken (the acidity actually breaks down the chicken to literally soften it), and infusing it's citrus-y flavor goodness deep into the chicken. The result is perfectly grilled chicken! Combined with more pepper in the marinade than you … [Read more...]

Spinach Artichoke Dip Chicken
So. I have very little self-control problem when it comes to book stores. And office supply stores. It's like I walk into the store and leave my self-control at the curb, then walk out with more than I went in for. (Thankfully I don't have this issue with the grocery store!) I've learned that it's better for me to order books and office supplies online. Way less … [Read more...]
