Chicken Bacon Ranch Meatloaf
Meatloaf is a wonderful comfort food and if you’re from the Midwest…it’s a bit of a staple. It’s one of those meals you either love or hate. If you hate it, you probably ate it too much as a kid 😊 but I think you should give it one more chance and try my Chicken Bacon Ranch Meatloaf. I’m a chicken-bacon-ranch fan and consider myself to be somewhat of a CBR (chicken-bacon-ranch) connoisseur. If it’s available at a restaurant in some capacity, chances are I’ll order it. I think it’s delicious and love the flavor combination. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard size loaf pan with parchment paper. This will help you lift the meatloaf out of the pan after cooking, making it easier to slice and serve. Open the jar of bacon bits and reserve ¼ cup. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, dried minced … Continue reading

Shamrockin’ Food

Asian Cuisine: Ground Chicken Meals
Every so often I’m looking for a simple weeknight meal that is filling, flavorful, and doesn’t require a lot of effort or groceries. One thing we both like is Asian cuisine and the wonderful variety of flavors and sauces (some homemade and some store-bought) you can use to create meals and elevate your recipes. A favorite in our house is to prepare ground meat and serve it over a bed of rice. It’s simple, you can change up the flavors for each recipe, so you aren’t eating the same thing over and over, and we often already have all the ingredients on hand, so the recipes are easy to whip up. I’d like to share a few recipes with you that are favorites of ours: General Tso’s Ground Chicken Ground Orange Chicken Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowls General Tso’s Ground Chicken is sweet, sour, and spicy all at the same time. It’s a very popular … Continue reading

Hawaiian Pizza Chicken Tenders
These low carb Hawaiian Pizza Chicken Tenders will be a new weeknight favorite! They are all the flavors of a traditional Hawaiian pizza but without the crust. Instead, the ingredients are piled on top of chicken tenders and baked to perfection. The recipe is amazing! The chicken is moist and tender, the Canadian bacon is lean and a little salty, the marinara sauce is fresh and herby, the pineapple adds a wonderfully sweet flavor, and the mozzarella really brings it all together. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Season each chicken tender with salt and pepper or garlic powder. This step is optional, but I think it’s necessary to add flavor to the chicken. You could also use an Italian blend. Wrap one piece of Canadian bacon around each chicken tender. Place, seam side down, on the baking sheet. You can … Continue reading
