Ummmmm, I love chicken

Even though  I haven`t been posting recipes lately, doesn`t mean we haven`t been eating well.  Chicken is on the menu most nights as we do not eat red meat. I am always looking for new and differnt ways to serve it. I find the internet a great source for recipes.

When using boneless chicken breast, I find one breast makes two servings, especially if you are adding cheese to the dish.

Here`s a few of the chicken meals I have prepared lately.

Braised chicken thighs, which is a variation of this recipe.  I used grated carrots in place of the mushrooms, frozen spinach in place of fresh.  Mighty tasty, wonderfully cheap dish.

Chicken pork lettuce. The only variation I made on this recipe, was to serve it over a bed of chopped lettuce, rather than making lettuce rolls.  Definitely a make again recipe.  No need to order take out with meals like this. Take a few minutes to check out Yes, we cook!

Cindy`s Cajun chicken – this idea is from a co-worker.  Cut one large boneless skinless chicken breast into chunks.  Sprinkle with cajun spice.  Cook in a bit of olive oil.  Remove from pan, keep warm.  In the pan toss onions, red peppers, celery, green peppers and mushrooms.  Saute.  Add chicken back into pan, sprinkle with more spice if desired.   Brush a pita lightly with mayonnaise,  sprinkle lightly with grated cheese, and chopped lettuce.   Add chicken vegetable mixture.  Eat with a fork, as you don`t want to miss a bit.

    Hi! I’m glad you enjoyed the Chicken and Pork dish. That was such a great, quick, dish to make. You are right, there is no reason to order carry out again! Thanks for stopping by.
