chicken – Delusions of Chefery

Cornflake-encrusted Chicken

This chicken recipe is pretty awesome. I even accidentally left out the parmesan cheese when I made it and it was still great. I’d like to say it’s healthy since it’s baked and not fried, but not if you eat all four portions 🙂 4-5 chicken breasts (use organic or a good brand of chickenContinue reading “Cornflake-encrusted Chicken”

Ranch Chicken-Cheese Ball

This is another great recipe for parties and pot-lucks that I got from one of my co-workers. It’s really easy, tastes great, and it much healthier than a lot of other holiday dip recipes. 1 (5 ounce) can chunk chicken, drained 1 (1/2 ounce) package ranch dressing mix 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softenedContinue reading “Ranch Chicken-Cheese Ball”

Chicken Cordon Bleu for the Lazy

I updated this recipe and reposted it since it really is a nice quick winter meal. I also finally added a photo! 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves4 slices deli ham4 slices swiss cheese1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (yes, sometimes cream-of-something soup is good!)1/2 cup milk1/2 cup butter1 (6 ounce) box seasonedContinue reading “Chicken Cordon Bleu for the Lazy”

Herb-apricot Chicken and Butternut Squash Risotto

This recipe is two of three parts of a Rachael Ray show. The risotto was really, really good. The best thing about it is Rachael’s method of using cooked, frozen squash. Peeling a whole butternut squash will remove all fun from the meal. The chicken was pretty good, but I think it had a littleContinue reading “Herb-apricot Chicken and Butternut Squash Risotto”

Parmesan Chicken and Rice

I’m a little behind on my posts because of the holidays, but this is one of the easier meals that I made in the last couple weeks. I think this time of year I feel less motivated to make complicated dinners so that I have more time/effort for the awesome desserts. I got this recipeContinue reading “Parmesan Chicken and Rice”

Quick Chicken (or leftover Turkey)-Bacon-Ranch Wraps

Wraps are so convenient for lunch or dinner so I end up making them a lot when I am in a bind for something quick to fix. I find this recipe to be the easiest for making quick, easy, and tasty chicken wraps. If you don’t like the rotisserie chicken, then sliced turkey or chickenContinue reading “Quick Chicken (or leftover Turkey)-Bacon-Ranch Wraps”

Paula’s Chicken Georgia

This recipe is from Paula Deen’s “Say Cheese” show, but I think that it’s also a good dish for her quick-fix show. Rachael Ray might also think about stealing this one! This is really easy, so delicious, and super-fast (quicker than 30 minutes). I have made this a couple times now and I’ve changed theContinue reading “Paula’s Chicken Georgia”

Boo’s Yummy Chicken Burgers

I don’t know if anyone else saw Rachael Ray’s show where she cooked the foods that her late dog loved, but it was really touching! I guess for those of us without children it nice to have “kids” to cook for even if they are on all fours. This recipe is not just dog foodContinue reading “Boo’s Yummy Chicken Burgers”

Simple Sorta-Saltimbocca

This isn’t technically Saltimbocca, but it is the same idea with a much more simple method. Last night I had some chicken breasts and prosciutto on hand, but I didn’t want to spend more than 20 minutes getting dinner ready so I came up with this (after a few Google searches for inspiration): 4 bonelessContinue reading “Simple Sorta-Saltimbocca”

Easy, versatile BBQ

This is a modified version of a recipe from Rachael Ray for BBQ sammies. I use the basic sauce for all kinds of BBQ. For the sauce base:I remember the main ingredients by the 4, 3, 2, 1 (double for large amounts of meat):4 tablespoons tomato paste3 tablespoons dark brown sugar2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce1 tablespoonContinue reading “Easy, versatile BBQ”
