Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I found these wraps in the Noom app way back when I was doing Noom. I did make some adjustments to their recipe to better fit what I had on hand and what I prefer (I am not a mushroom fan for instance).

Chicken Taco Jars

I have been searching for some easy lunch recipes. I stumbled across this one, and I immediately wanted to try it. It was really good the day of. My lettuce did get a bit soggy the next day. But I did really like how easy it was to make in general.

Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

Crockpot chicken fajitas are easy and yummy. Perfect for a Tuesday night fiesta. You literally just have to heat up the tortillas (if you want), and you are set for dinner! Buy some tortilla chips and premade salsa and call it a night.

Queso Chicken

This is another recipe that I found from Piece of Keto Pyatt. It is really good and we definitely do not pair it in a keto way (we serve with chips, quest, and salsa). I think it would also be really good served over Mexican rice too! I might would even go crazy and add some refried beans for myself, ha.

Chicken Bruschette

I found this recipe on Instagram, and the blogger made it look oh so easy. And while I am sure I made it more difficult than necessary, it will not be a weeknight meal for us due to the length of time it takes, It was delicious, however, and I would make it on the weekends for sure!

Super Chix

Back before we went under quarantine due to COVID-19, we were still attempting to try new restaurants and go on “dates” on Fridays that Brad was off since Melody had school on Fridays. Well one of the last new places we tried was Super Chix. While it is still in Huntsville, it is about a 20 minute drive to get there. While that isn’t so bad, it isn’t the best for carryout for us for that reason. We went at lunchtime on a Friday while it was still fairly new. We were skeptical doing this because we were not sure we would find a seat, but we went for it anyhow.

Chicken Wings

I love wings, but I am very particular about them. My absolute favorite are from Baumhower’s Wings. And while we have one here in Huntsville, it isn’t the most convenient to where we live. So for a football game recently I decided to make my own. There are actually two recipes below. I like my wings with a dry rub on them. Brad prefers his wings with a wet sauce on them. So I included both versions. I will say, the dry version needs some adjustment to the baking powder. While they tasted amazing, the baking powder was a bit overwhelming. And next time I hope to find the wings separated. Publix on had them as a whole wing :(

Kabobs

So a while back we grilled kabobs. We don’t do them super often because I am not a huge fan of the vegetables, but I do let Brad do them on occasion and I make another vegetable for myself. Plus they make great lunches for Brad too.

Rotel Chicken

This is one of those recipes that looked great on Pinterest, but while making it, I was kind of grossed out. However, in the end, it both tasted and looked delicious! I also adjusted the recipe to our liking, so below is my version.

Chicken Fajita Casserole

One evening a while back I invited my parents over for tacos. My mom had actually already started the process for this fajita casserole so she just brought it over, and I stole the recipe! It is super yummy and nice change to regular fajitas.

Roasted Chicken with Vegetables

I love a good one pan meal, but those are hard to come by for me. Either it is a casserole which I don’t always love, or it just simply doesn’t sound good. Well this one is super easy, and I love that it uses chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken!

Orange Chicken

So I have to be honest, finding new healthy recipes are getting harder and harder. I need food to stay full longer and not feel hungry an hour later. Well I found this recipe and it sounded amazing. I love Asian food, but it is hard to find healthy food because most of what I love is fried. This sounded perfect. BUT I must admit, it doesn’t have enough flavor to me. I may try it again, but use something other than orange juice. We will see.

Salsa Fresca Chicken

I found this recipe one night while skimming Pinterest for some dinner ideas. I liked that it was a chicken dish, but it was something different and pretty easy. Brad claims it was his idea (Remember salsa fish?), but this is different and better in my opinion. Next time I would make fresh pico de gallo and invest in the cilantro. Brad isn’t a huge fan so I didn’t get any. But it was definitely missing it.

Cashew Chicken Bake

A while back, Brad traveled out of town for a week for work. I always try to go out or cook things he normally would not eat. Well one thing he absolutely hates is peanuts. Well any form. So I found this cashew chicken recipe. It seemed like something I would never cook for him, and it seemed like something I could eat on for more than one night while he was away. I did leave a few things out as always though.
