Crunchy Garlic Baked Chicken

March 15, 2019 Amanda Plott

Everyone needs an easy chicken dinner in their back pocket for those busy weeknights, right? This Crunchy Garlic Baked Chicken was one that I picked up years, and years, and years ago. It’s a simple dish that has stood the test of time. Tried and true all the way through.

If you’ve ever had schnitzel, this is soooort of like that. It’s a thin chicken breast that’s coated in flour, egg, and a breadcrumb mixture before being baked to a perfectly crispy and crunchy bite that couldn’t be any more simple…

Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip

What can I say? I'm a huuuge fan of buffalo flavored anything.

Okay, not anything... but almost!

I think I eat buffalo something for lunch or dinner every week. ...Yeah, that sounds about right.

This skinny buffalo chicken dip is nothing short of amazing. It's super easy and tastes great. Plus, you can cook it up using the crock pot, oven, or even the stove! No one will ever guess that it's lightened up and only about 100 calories per serving.

I found that I didn't have any complaints in serving this with veggies for dipping and I have some picky palates around me!...

Instant Pot Chicken Caldo

Well, it’s still barely winter here in Texas. Though it is about as winter as it’s likely to get here outside of a couple more cold fronts and a freeze or two. Even so! We’re in the throes of soup season and I wanted to make some more soup, DANG IT.

Caldo is one of the most simple soups out there. It’s a Mexican style soup that’s very brothy and full of several different kinds of vegetables. You will probably find it on any good Mexican restaurant’s menu, whether it’s beef or chicken. The way that I know that? My little brother used to order it all the time when we were younger. It was always one of his MOST favorite things…

Lightened Up Chicken Spaghetti

November 5, 2018 Amanda Plott

I think Chicken Spaghetti is a classic that almost all of us enjoy at one point or another in our childhood. While my mom claims to have made it a few times when I was a kid, I mostly remember trying it for the first time at my grandma’s house. Even though my grandma was the cook of the family, I’m still not sure if it was her or one of my aunts that made the chicken spaghetti.

If you are one of the unlucky few that never had chicken spaghetti, well you’re in for a treat today. Chicken Spaghetti is… pretty much what it sounds like. Chicken + spaghetti noodles. It’s not like classic spaghetti though. There’s no tomato spaghetti sauce involved here. Oh, no. No, no, no…

Pumpkin Alfredo Lasagna

This post has been compensated by Premio. As always, all opinions are mine alone.

I’ve got three little words. …Pumpkin. Alfredo. Lasagna. Okay, maybe they’re BIG words. The point is though, they go great together. I’ve had this thought in my head for a while now, so when I got my hands on Premio Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage I knew exactly what I was going to do with it!

This pumpkin Alfredo lasagna is not your average lasagna. It’s layer upon layer of noodle, pumpkin puree, cheese, spices, Alfredo, spinach more cheese, and YES Premio Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage…

Skinny Chicken Alfredo Dip

October 9, 2018 Amanda Plott

It was a lazy and rainy day yesterday, and after a long 'Fall break’ weekend that was filled with plenty of fun and excitement, it was a good day to rest. I’m honestly not sure I even got out of my pajamas, and neither did my daughter. Yep, that’s just how lazy we were. This Skinny Chicken Alfredo Dip was a perfect rainy day snacky sort of dinner.

Like I said, we were being uber lazy. So cheesy chicken dip for dinner just sounded like it fit. No guilt here though! This Alfredo dip is just about as guilt-free as an Alfredo anything can be. It’s low-carb, delicious, and actually surprisingly easy to make - even from scratch!…
