Chicken Flautus
A few weeks ago I got to spend the week with some of my favorite people. We fished, cooked and hung out and it was AMAZING! One of the dishes that my sweet friend Shannon made were these Chicken Flautus and they were so good I have to share them with you. It all started here… To make these flautus super special Shannon made her own version of Rotel that the chicken would eventually soak up. Honestly I thought she was crazy to make her own and questioned why she wasn’t just using the favorite canned version but she assured me I would understand once I tasted it and she…

Are you a fan of the rotisserie chickens from the grocery store? I am. I usually get one or two a week and use them in everything from chicken salad to enchiladas to a wrap. As much as I love buying them at the store I love this Instant Pot Chicken even more. I can use whatever seasoning I want, even the salt free Traders Joe’s seasoning. Trust me it is AMAZING!

Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Is there anything better than a casserole on a busy weeknight? In my world I am all about a super easy casserole any time, but especially on those busy nights. Even better when it is an enchilada casserole! All in one… One of the best things about a casserole is the fact that everything is all packed into on dish. There are typically fewer pans to clean up, it serves a lot of people and there is something just so comforting about a casserole. This enchilada version is all that and more. There is chicken, beans, rice, cheese and a little heat in each bite, just like your favorite enchiladas.…

MeeMaw’s Chicken n Dumplings
These last few weeks have been pretty trying. When I am under stress I tend to eat comfort food and one of my favorites is my MeeMaw’s Chicken n Dumplings. Thankfully things seem to be calming down a bit and getting back to “normal” but I am still craving my favorite dish. Super simple Growing up I was not a fan of veggies. I would sometimes eat a green bean here and there but not much else. My MeeMaw being the best EVER never made us eat veggies. When we were at the farm she would make us anything we wanted and this was always my must have. …

Balsamic Chicken Tenders
Chicken tenders are one of my most favorite proteins to cook. They are quick, easy and you can do just about anything with them, making them a perfect weeknight dinner option. Amping them up a bit I am a fan of a simple grilled chicken tender, or breast or thigh, but when you can marinade and glaze with something a little special I am an even bigger fan. The added flavor from the balsamic reduction adds just enough of that something extra to make these chicken tenders something to remember. They balsamic vinegar brings a bit of tang while the brown sugar gives a bit fo sweet in each bite.…
