Loaded Baked Potato and Buffalo Chicken Casserole

Loaded Baked Potato and Buffalo Chicken Casserole

Mexican Roadside Chicken Put the chicken in a gallon sized zip-top bag and add the Sunny D® and salt. Seal the bag while removing the excess air. Slosh the bag gently to combine. Put the bag in a lipped baking dish or sheet pan (to catch any leaks) and refrigerate six hours, or preferably overnight. About 90 minutes before you want to serve, start your grill and prepare for indirect cooking over medium heat (300-350ºF). While the grill is starting, make the wet rub. Remove the chicken from the marinade, rinse well with cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Clean and dry the onions, jalapenos and limes. Grill the chicken indirectly until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165ºF (about 60-75 minutes). Just before the chicken is done add the onions, limes and jalapenos to the direct heat side of the grill and grill until each is nicely roasted. When the chicken reaches 165ºF in the thigh, remove it from the grill, put it onto a platter and let it rest five minutes. Enjoy!

Pineapple and Blood Orange Sweet & Sour Chicken Recipe For the most part my childhood was anything but nurturing. The list of things that I was permitted to do was very short and I was under no circumstances allowed to try and expand my reach beyond reading, writing and sketching. Sports or hobbies were out of the question for me because they were deemed unconstructive. I can remember visiting one of the little girls I used to play with. I felt so out of place. Fortunately, I have developed a creative imagination that has only grown with time. When I was five I had imaginary friends. After that I started writing and sketching more while also listening to music twenty four hours a day. I wasn’t able to help with dinner and creating my own recipes was completely out of the question. I disliked the woman that taught me how to cook. She taught me how to make some of her signature family recipes and when we would sit and eat together I would tune out all the negative conversation and I just focused on the food. by Dionne Baldwin Ingredients

Baked Buffalo Chicken Pasta Can you keep a secret? Last night I went to a karate slash pilates slash bootcamp-ish slash heart attack class. I know. Your face? Your expression you are wearing right now? Anyway. All I could think of during this class was cheese. After flinging myself through the front door following my uncoordinated attempt at unarmed combat and eating four handfuls of peanut butter stuffed pretzels (I hear they are excellent for muscle recovery. write that down.), it dawned on me that peanut butter pretzels do not a dinner make. Then I remembered the buffalo chicken mac sitting in the fridge and decided it qualified as a post-workout recovery meal. Uh… wait a minute. This is sort of like mac and cheese. But guess what? I don’t care what you call it. Baked Buffalo Chicken Pasta serves 4-6 1 pound pasta (I used whole wheat orecchiette) 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cut into chunks 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon flour 1 1/2 cups milk 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs

Maple Dijon Chicken Recipe The other night, I came home from work really close to dinnertime which meant it was perfect opportunity to try a new recipe from Cook With Campbell’s. Since we all wanted something a little sweet and very comforting, I decided on the Maple Dijon Chicken, made with Campbell’s Stock First Cream stock. Everyone loved it! Especially me, since I was able to prepare this gourmet meal in less than 15 minutes. The beauty of this recipe is that you only need five ingredients, along with the Campbell’s stock. Five ingredients that most of us already have in the fridge, such as maple syrup, white wine, Dijon mustard, and fresh herbs. What I also love about it is if you decide to serve it with rice, like I did, you can prepare your chicken while the rice is cooking and both will be ready at the same time. Begin with preparing your ingredients: Place chicken in a non-stick pan on medium high heat. Next add cream stock, cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Most of all, enjoy!
