Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice

Lately, my daughter has been on a reading kick. She reads all the time. I think it's great. My son, however, still needs to be persuaded to read. It is part of their homework. After my son reads, he is suppose to write a paragraph about what he wrote. I really think he hates the writing the most. He does like helping me in the kitchen and doesn't mind reading recipes to me. He helped with this dish. We really liked this dish a lot especially my husband. Any meal with rice is a winner according to my husband. Even with the broccoli, he still really liked it.
Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 lb. chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup uncooked Jasmine rice
1 lb. broccoli florets, chopped into bite sized pieces
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:
  1. In a large pot, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the onions and saute for a minute. 
  3. Increase the heat to medium high and add the chicken.
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Brown the chicken. 
  6. Add the garlic and cook for a minute.
  7. Push the chicken to one side of the pan and add the other Tbsp of olive oil to the empty side.
  8. Add the uncooked rice to the olive oil side and saute for a couple of minutes.
  9. Stir in the chicken broth and white wine. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  10. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover.
  11. Allow the mixture to cook covered for 10 minutes.
  12. Stir in the broccoli and cover. Allow to cook for another 10 minutes. 
  13. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of cheese. 
  14. Sprinkle the other cup of cheese on top. Cover and allow to sit for 2 minutes for the cheese to melt.

White Chicken Chili

This weekend, I will be cheering for the New England Patriots. I do like the Patriots but it isn't like I even have a choice. My Uncles are ecstatic. My Maine friends are excited. It is the only professional football team I have watched in person. Are you going to watch the game? Or will you be watching the commercials? I think my daughter will only be watching the game for the Halftime show. Since chili is a great dish to make while watching football, I decided to make the dish our cousin made this past summer. It is a little spicy with tender chicken and beans. It is perfect for a cold day.
White Chicken Chili
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
4 cups chicken stock
2 (14.5 oz.) cans Northern beans (drained and rinsed)
5 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
2 tsp chili powder
2 cups salsa
8 oz. pepperjack cheese, grated

Directions:
  1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and garlic. Saute for a few minutes.
  3. Add the chicken stock, beans, chicken, chili powder, and salsa.
  4. Allow the dish to simmer for 30 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cheese and allow to melt.

Buffalo Chicken with spicy blue cheese dip

After the Superbowl, I'm unsure what my husband will be doing with his weekends. He is always watching the NFL network. When he talks to his best friend, they are talking about which team will win. Since they have rival teams, it is a fun to listen to them talk smack to each other. I guess they will need this down time to recover from football season. I am hoping their jerseys can be put away for at least a couple of months. I don't even have a t-shirt with my favorite team but I do have a t-shirt of my husband's team. He even tells me how nice I look in the shirt. Since it is the end of football season, I wanted to make some buffalo chicken. This chicken isn't dipped in the traditional butter but I couldn't tell. It is so tender and I really liked it. My son made the dip for me. I must be influencing him since he asked where the cayenne pepper was since the recipe called for it. I told him it is with the spices and he said forget about that and he added hot sauce instead. I really liked the dip. If you are hosting a party, definitely make this recipe.
Boneless Buffalo Chicken
 3 Tbsp butter milk
3 Tbsp Frank's Redhot Original cayenne pepper hot sauce, divided
3 Tbsp distilled white vinegar, divided
2 lbs. boneless chicken breast, chopped into bit size pieces
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp vegetable oil, divided 
2 cups carrot and celery sticks

Directions:
  1.  In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, 2 Tbsp hot sauce, and 2 Tbsp vinegar.
  2. Add the chicken to the buttermilk mixture and toss to coat. 
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Stir occasionally.
  4. On a plate, combine the flour with the cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 Tbsp hot sauce and 1 Tbsp vinegar. Set aside.
  6. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil over medium high heat. 
  7. Remove the chicken from the marinade and evenly coat in the flour mixture. 
  8. In the skillet, cook the chicken in batches until golden brown about 4 minutes per a side. Add additional vegetable oil if need. 
  9. Once cooked through, remove the chicken and place onto a paper lined plate.
  10. Drizzle the chicken with the hot sauce and vinegar mixture. 
  11. Serve with the Spicy Blue Cheese Dip (recipe below), carrots, and celery.
Spicy Blue Cheese Dip
2/3 cup reduced fat sour cream
1 cup blue cheese, chopped
1 Tbsp distilled white vinegar
1 Tbsp Frank's Redhot Original hot sauce

Directions:
  1. In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, blue cheese, vinegar, and the hot sauce.
  2. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
*Note: I buy the solid blue cheese block and then I chopped it. I notice the quality of taste for the blue cheese is so much better.

Chicken Pad See Ew

This recipe called for sweet soy sauce. I had never heard of sweet soy sauce so I goggled it. Sure enough, there is a product called sweet soy sauce. Also, I found a recipe for sweet soy sauce but it had spices in it that I was unsure if it would be correct. I asked my husband about it but he had never heard of it so we went to several stores. Of course, I couldn't find it. I asked a store employee who was working the shelves about the product. She told me that she had never heard of sweet soy sauce and she even lived in Japan. I told her my husband had never heard of it too and he had lived in Japan too. The store employee or my husband didn't seem to know much about Thai cuisine but the employee told me just add sugar which I did. Hopefully, you will have better luck in finding sweet soy sauce. Since I didn't want to order it online and have to wait, I went ahead with the recipe. My youngest daughter loved this dish especially the chicken. I would make this dish again. We do have a Thai restaurant near us, I think I will have to order it and compare. Hopefully, my dish tasted close.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Since I've been baking more, I've been making easier dinners. So, I made this chicken dish. While we were eating, my son told me that it wasn't done since the middle was pink. I told him the pink was the ham. Then my daughter asked why I put ham in the middle of chicken. I said it was suppose to be like that. I make new dishes all the time but boy my children didn't like the idea of ham inside their chicken. My husband said it had a nice taste and he liked it. The kids said they liked it besides the ham. I guess I will have to make more dishes stuffed so it isn't such a foreign idea to them.

Thai Chicken Wrap

My children argue like any typical siblings. One reason they argue is my son likes to tell us lots of facts. My daughter likes to correct her brother as an older sister will do. Since my son is confident in his facts, I am the fact checker. Normally, I know the answers which makes it easier for me but when I don't I will look it up. So, I had to look up whether penguins eat squids or not. I have never paid much attention to the diet of penguins. I am too busy worrying about my children's diets. Well, my son was right (which he normally is 90% of the time but his sister does catch him on other the 10%). This was our discussion while we ate these Thai Chicken Wraps. They are really good and fast to assemble. My son made the sauce for us. My daughter prepped the lettuce. It was a nice way to prepare lunch
Thai Chicken Wrap
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 lb. cooked chicken, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup sweet onion, chopped
1/4 tsp ginger, minced
1 package of Asian blend cabbage slaw (cabbage, carrots, snap peas, etc.)
1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
2 Tbsp peanut butter
2 tsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp water
4 large tortillas
1 cup lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup almonds, toasted
 3 stalks of green onions, chopped

Directions: 
  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken, garlic, sweet onion, ginger, and the cabbage slaw.
  3. Cook for about 5 minutes. Stir often.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and water. Stir until smooth. 
  5. Add the chili sauce mixture to the chicken. Stir to incorporate.
  6. On a tortilla, add the lettuce and chicken mixture. 
  7. Top with the almonds and green onions.
  8. Fold the tortillas to form a wrap.

For October, I always have an urge to cook with orange foods. Since I had some sweet potatoes on hand, I figured I would use them up. I actually don't cook with sweet potatoes often. When I was a kid, we had them all the time. It could because my father is from Mississippi. I really should cook with sweet potatoes more. At least next month, I will be making sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving.

I am always trying new chicken recipes. My husband likes chicken a lot plus it is normally an easy meal to make. Now, I do not cook with tarragon a lot but I figured I would try this recipe. I think its funny that I do not like licorice but I like tarragon. This chicken was so good. My husband loved it. I mean loved it. Sometimes it seems hard to impress my husband with my cooking but this meal did it. Of course, he didn't eat any of the green beans I served with the meal but he ate everything else. This recipe really is a keeper.

Chicken Enchiladas

When I lived in Colorado, I loved eating at the local Mexican restaurants. Since moving back home, my favorite local Mexican restaurant closed. I have found there are many Mexican restaurants in Portland but my husband isn't a fan of driving for awhile just to go to a restaurant. I'm not going to disagree with him since he doesn't complain when we drive over an hour to go to my favorite beach. The beach is more important. My husband will make Mexican dishes for me but he hasn't made enchiladas for us yet. When I made this dish, he really liked it. The kids liked it. The best part about the recipe it is very easy since leftover chicken can be used or a store bought rotisserie chicken. I still don't have the knack of rolling those corn tortillas without some of them breaking.
Chicken Enchiladas
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1 Tbsp flour
1 cup chicken broth

  4. Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir.
  5. Stir in the chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and tomato sauce. 
  6. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  7. Remove 1/2 cup of the sauce and set aside.
  8. Add the chicken and stir to coat in the sauce.
  9. Cook for 5 minutes.
  10. While the chicken is heating, cover the tortillas with a damp towel and microwave for 25 seconds.
  11. Preheat the oven on high broil while assembling the enchiladas.
  12. Take a corn tortillas and spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture into the center.
  13. Roll the corn tortillas and place into the baking dish. Continue to assemble with the remaining tortillas.
  14. Top the rolled tortillas with the remaining 1/2 sauce that had been previously set aside.
  15. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
  16. Broil the enchiladas for 3 minutes or until the cheese has melted on top.

Huli Huli Chicken

Since we decided to leave our grill outside, it is currently decorated with snow. Yes, we could unbury it but then we would have to spend some time outside grilling. I'm not volunteering and I know my husband will not then it leaves the oven. I do have an inside grill pan but it does smoke a lot. The chicken did turn out pretty tender. It does have a nice mild flavor. I thought it would be similar to a teriyaki sauce but this version didn't remind me of teriyaki. We will have to try making this on the grill when we find our grill again.
Huli Huli Chicken
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp Worcestershire sauce 
2 lbs chicken

Directions:
  1. In a large zip lock plastic bag, combine the pineapple juice, white wine, chicken broth, soy sauce, ketchup, ginger, and Worcestershire sauce. 
  2. Add the chicken and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. 
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  4. Remove the chicken from the plastic bag and place in a baking dish. Reserve the marinade.
  5. Cover the dish and bake for 15 minutes. Discard the marinade.
  6. Brush the chicken with some of the reserved marinade and cook the chicken for another 15 minutes or until cooked through.

Chicken Pot Pie

My Mom use to make chicken pot pie often. My sister makes it for supper for her girls a lot. I'm unsure why I don't. It could be my husbands adverse fear of peas. We once had a family member make it for us and she had omitted the peas. I figured I would do the same and make my husband happy. However, I figured I would do most of the prep the day before to make it easy on me. The day before I made this chicken for supper. Since I normally roast vegetables with the chicken, I went ahead and used the same type of vegetables. I just chopped additional vegetables in preparation of making this dish. I also made the pie crust and stored it in the refrigerator. The chicken had lots of flavor which added a nice touch to the dish. My husband loved this dish. The pie crust had flavor. The kids ate it up. Anytime I have leftover chicken/turkey, I may just be making this dish again.
Chicken Pot Pie
3 celery stalks, finely diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and finely diced
1 large yellow onion, finely diced
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped into bite sized pieces

1 cup milk
2 tsp ground thyme
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 (8") pie crust

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large pot, melt the butter in the olive oil over medium heat.

  5. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables. Gently, mix to combine.
  6. Add the chicken broth and stir.
  7. Add the milk and stir. Cook for 5 minutes.
  8. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. 
  9. Pour the mixture into a deep dish pie pan or casserole dish.
  10. Roll out the pie crust so it will be slightly larger than the casserole dish.
  11. Place the pie crust over the chicken mixture. Cut slits on top of the pie crust.
