Sour Cream Chicken

This one was on the same page of the Jan/Feb 2010 issue of Simple and Delicious as the Mexican spoon bread.  Hubby immediately wanted to try it.  I used 4 skinless chicken thighs instead of the cut up broiler/fryer, mainly because that’s what (read full article)

Retake Homemade: Thai Chicken Stir Fry

Admit it.  You have a secret love affair with the greasy and overpriced takeout from your local Chinese or Thai place.  It’s okay, we all do.  But unless you’re one of the rare folks who order everything steamed and off the diet menu ( (read full article)

Chicken and Peach Pepper Salsa Quesedillas

Part of the many dishes I made with last week’s Peach and Red Pepper Salsa was a straight up basic quesedilla.  It was a classic “use what you have in the fridge” sort of dinner that took advantage of the leftover shredded chicken (read full article)

Welcome to the first installment of Retake Homemade!  Please check out the links at the bottom for additional recipes.  Enchiladas are something I don’t make too often.  I’m more a quesedilla kinda girl.  But these are nice for a chan (read full article)

Panko Chicken Nuggets

I’m on a perpetual crusade to make the perfect baked chicken strips/nuggets.  I think I’ve done them with panko before, but previously I used egg as the binding ingredient.  This time I went with low fat buttermilk, and I really think t (read full article)

Fiesta Chicken Soup

I’m seriously running out of names for these Mexican themed soups.   But there are endless subtle variations on these flavors that we just love, so I keep inventing new varieties.  This one wasn’t cooked in a crock pot (though it certa (read full article)

Tangy Chicken Salad

Living in the south, I’ve grown up eating chicken salad.  It’s a staple in the summer, one which I’m very picky about, as most are laden with mayo (which we’ve already established I don’t do) and absolutely awful for yo (read full article)

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Canned chicken.  I don’t have any idea why my mother keeps giving it to me, but she does.  She feels compelled to give stuff to me, often things I won’t touch.  So this canned chicken has been in the pantry for a couple of months.  So (read full article)

Thoughtless Thursday: Mexicale Chicken and Rice Soup

It’s coming in late, but it’s still Thursday!  This was a last minute inspiration after making a grocery run for ingredients for something else entirely.  I had these two poblano peppers that I was going to turn into some kind of enchil (read full article)

Chicken and Rice in a White Wine Mushroom Sauce

I was feeling a little ill tonight, so I decided to take a page out of the dogs’ book and make up some chicken and rice.  Except, being me, I can’t just make PLAIN chicken and rice.  This threw together a lot of staples in my house and (read full article)

Thoughtless Thursday: Chicken and Black Bean Burritos

I apologize for my lengthy absence.  I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned it before, but my husband broke his leg, so things have been a bit chaotic at home.  He’s doing much better now, so I’m HOPING to get back to a regular (read full article)

Thoughtless Thursdays: Smoky Chicken Chili

This one’s been on my To Try list for several months now.  Someone tweeted it ages back, and I bookmarked it on Delicious.  I made a few adaptations to the recipe based on what I had on hand and changed it over to a crock pot recipe (which cu (read full article)

I’ve been gone for ages!  I’ve been out of town for a week and playing catch up since I got back.  But for my inaugural post back, I decided to do my own take on a a Stauffer’s casserole I had recently.  It had a decent flavor, b (read full article)

Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole

I’m really not sure how I have lived in the south my entire life and never had poppy seed chicken casserole before this year.  It is, I am told, a staple at pot lucks.  In any event, I was first exposed to this dish when at a bridesmaids̵ (read full article)

Thoughtless Thursday: Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup

Three years ago one of our local restaurants had a soup they called baja chicken enchilada.  I got to have it maybe 3 times before it was permanently removed from the menu due to lack of interest.  I just have to say how much that totally SUCKED be (read full article)

Homemade Chicken Strips

One of our favorite things to eat out is chicken strips.  I know, we’re not kids anymore, but who cares.  Chicken strips (when done properly) are truly tasty things.  Since we’ve been dieting, of course, we haven’t had them.  Si (read full article)
