Pecan Crusted Chicken Tenders This recipe was especially tasty and fun to make. Patti cut one of Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts into ½” strips. Using Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts we knew it would be tender and full of flavor…if we didn’t have Zaycon Fresh we would have just called them chicken strips. You can really taste the difference. Plus, we got to use Ken’s Mom’s…
Caesar Marinated Chicken Leg Quarters It’s been a long day, plus 97 degrees of dry heat. But, we still have to have dinner. Thanks to our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven we made an easy three ingredient dinner and kept the kitchen cool. We love doing recipes with “on hand” ingredients and served with cold sliced tomatoes this was perfect. Patti made enough to have some…
Lemon Pepper Chicken Kabobs After a long weekend we wanted something light, but still healthy with lots of flavor. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are so versatile we use them for lots of recipes. We added veggies for healthy color and Louisiana Lemon Pepper seasoning to add just the right amount of spice. For our sides we brightened up plain white rice by cooking it with…
Almond Crusted Chicken We love chicken legs and we wanted to do something a little special. Using Ken’s antique nut crusher we got from his Grandmother we crushed some whole, raw almonds and used them for a crunchy coating for our whole chicken legs. Patti used panko bread crumbs seasoned just right with Chef of the Future Honey Garlic Seasoning Rub. Almond Crusted Chicken Outdoor…
Parmesan Crusted Chicken Drumsticks We’ve been getting requests for kid friendly tailgating food. Patti thought chicken drumsticks because they’re easy to prepare and come with a handle for the little ones. Fried chicken is always good, but Patti likes to Pacific Living Oven “fry” it so it’s a little healthier than soaking it in oil. To make it extra tasty we put lots of grated…
Wings Anyone Ken‘s best buddy, Tony the sailor man, came to visit for the holidays and had to have chicken wings to go with lots of football viewing. Ken found some new extra zippy sauces he loves and Patti wanted more of a mustard based sauce. Patti bought 5lbs. of chicken wings and we all had plenty that were sauced just right. Ken & Tony…
Caribbean Spice Chicken We made an easy three ingredient Spatchcock chicken…including the chicken. Simple, tasty and a little spicy thanks to Ken’s favorite Chef of the Future Floribbean seasoning sprinkled generously over the top and bottom of our spatch cocked chicken and during the last ten minutes Patti brushed on All Spice Café’s Caribbean Spice Sauce. The All Spice Café’s Caribbean Spice Sauce is not…
Easy & Elegant Chicken Alfredo Easy & Elegant Chicken Alfredo, we love chicken not just because the price is always right and there’s so many great ways to fix it. Next week we’re having some very special friends over for dinner. We always enjoy having Jim & Debbie over because they always love what we fix. Patti wanted to fix something really easy and a…
Guest Chef G's WHITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS There are countless recipes available for chicken enchiladas, and many people have a "favorite" one. Well this is my favorite for White Chicken Enchiladas. I actually adapted it from a recipe by Ree Drummond, Food Network's Pioneer Woman. It is slightly elaborate, but not difficult at all. However, the wonderful flavor of the enchiladas is well worth the effort.…
Curried Chicken Thighs with Fried Rice This is Patti’s take on oven fried chicken with a Thai twist. Our thanks to Chef of the Future Coconut Curry Rub. We served it over box fried rice made a little more interesting with a few added ingredients. We loved using our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven being it’s been around 100 degrees for the last week; it lets…
Guest CHEF G's TASTY CHICKEN SALAD Nothing fancy, just really delicious chicken salad. For this preparation I used dill-brined chicken breasts that I recently cooked, but you can cook the chicken any way you desire - seared, grilled, poached, baked, etc. Just make sure that's it's cooked all the way through. And don't be timid about adjusting, adding, or omitting ingredients to suit your personal…
Bourbon Street Chicken We were gifted with some really nice bourbon. We don’t drink it, unless we’re in New Orleans, where it’s a rule, so we decided to cook with some. Like wine if it’s good enough to drink, it’s just right to use in cooking. Patti’s favorite part of the chicken is dark meat and she created a really enjoyable marinade. She used white…
