Chicken & Asparagus Skillet – 21 Day Fix Approved

Chicken & Asparagus Skillet – 21 Day Fix Approved

Time for a new recipe from me! WOOHOO! This Chicken & Asparagus Skillet is the perfect dish for eating straight from the pan or reheating for lunch! Packed full of protein and veggies with a little carb on the side for fun!

Prior to the Christmas season, I embarked on another round of the 21 Day Fix.  The more times that I follow through with the 21 days, the more adventurous and creative I get with my cooking.  While I tend to combine chicken and broccoli, I LOVE asparagus just as much, so I decided to come up with a new dish for my lunches!  When I think about cooking something, I often think about the re-heatability of a dish so I can use it for my lunches at work!

Executing My Vision

In my mind I worked through how I wanted this dish to come together and my favorite way to eat asparagus is sauteed, so I knew I wanted to incorporate that.  I also knew that it would deepen the flavor of the dish a great deal, instead of just steaming it.  To me, there are very few things as beautiful as sauteed asparagus!

Jerk Chicken and Vegetables

— Katy Flint8 Comments

Do you ever stumble upon something that blows your mind? That recipe that is so good and so easy that you feel like it’s a trick? Like surely something this easy can taste this good?? Well, let me introduce you to Jerk Chicken and Vegetables.

I knew that I wanted to make up some “bowls” of food for lunches this week and I typically do chicken and vegetables of some sort. I picked up broccoli and cauliflower from my local Fareway, along with a boneless skinless chicken breast! I wasn’t sure what was going to end up being with all of this, but I as I wondered down the aisle of wpid-1447014788574.jpgcondiments, a bottle grabbed my attention, KC Masterpiece Caribbean Jerk 30-Minute Marinade.  Traditional I like jerk chicken, so I grabbed a bottle and headed home (with my  entire cart load of groceries…boys can really eat, remember?!)

Dried Beef Stuffed Chicken Breasts

— Katy Flint8 Comments

Do you ever have one of those new recipes that’s easy and a huge hit in your house??  What a feeling, right?! You feel like you just conquered a demon.  Well, for me it came a week or so ago.  We got our half beef for the year back in August and then later picked up our dried beef!  T has been on a kick to use the dried beef in ways other than sandwiches (just bread, butter, and dried beef for me) or dried beef gravy (chipped beef gravy) over mashed potatoes.  I haven’t been quite so determined, but he has been so I decided to appease him.

I decided that I was going to use it to make some sort of stuffed chicken breast.  The dried beef has such a strong salty flavor that I was convinced it would liven up chicken.  However, now I had a second challenge.  T is not really a fan of boneless, skinless chicken breasts because he says they get too dry and don’t have any flavor.  (Me on the hand could eat them every meal.)  I also wanted to keep the recipe simple and easy to make because that’s how I roll in my busy life.  It’s got to be easy or it will only happen once!  Here’s what I came up with!

Chicken Marinade & Roasted Sweet Corn

Chicken Marinade & Roasted Sweet Corn

Some recipes come from nowhere and some recipes come from our heritage!  This chicken marinade recipe might not be my heritage, but it does come from my childhood!

My brother and I grew up in a home where food was important!  Not in a “eat your feelings” type of way, but in a “we show love by cooking” type of way!  Both of my grandmothers were amazing cooks!  My Grandma S was a phenomenal baker and our mother learned well!  She still is the best baker & cook I know!  I’m envious of her abilities some days!

Cooking is in my blood!

Both my brother and I grew up helping in the kitchen, learning the ways of cooking & baking.  Some of my best memories from growing up were in the kitchen with my mom!  One time my brother brought home a marinade recipe and it became quite popular in our house.  To this day, I honestly don’t have any idea where he got it, but when I found it in the back of my recipe box the other day, I knew I had to have it again!

Chicken Noodle Bowl

— Katy Flint10 Comments

This past Saturday I had a night to myself! After a week of family vacation, R headed to his moms and I sent T & M to a race event that I really had no desire to attend for several reasons! One of them was that I needed time to myself!  When I get time to myself at home, I love to experiment with food that I know the guys wouldn’t eat!  I love to try new things, put part in the freezer and see what comes out!
