Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Feta, and Spinach in Phyllo Cups

Beth made this for Sophia’s birthday girls night. While I greatly enjoyed the phyllo cup idea, I think this filling would be equally as tasty over some pasta, rice, or even just on its own.

Cajun Chicken Pasta
Kim made this tasty creamy spicy chicken pasta dish for Girls Night. Leftovers were *almost* better than the night of.
Chicken, Bean and Corn Tacos
I love tacos. I could eat tacos once a week and be a happy camper. When I don’t feel like making beef tacos, I make these chicken, corn and black bean tacos. I can whip up a batch of these in about 15 minutes, which is a major plus.
Soy Sauce Chicken
This is a dish I throw together. And when I say “throw together”, I mean it’s one of those “I don’t really measure it” type deals. So I’ll do my best to estimate amounts but take your own liberties with ingredients. I like this chicken because it’s easy, I usually have everything on hand, and it’s nice and light. The flavor is similar to Filipino “adobo” due to the vinegar and soy sauce combo.
Salsa Simmered Chicken
Suzi made this delicious chicken for Beth’s birthday girls night. The salsa with spices was really really good, especially dished over some rice.
Fusilli with Sausage and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
A continuation of the Beth Girls Night success. This pasta is comprised of sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, sausage, wine and, as if it couldn’t get any better, oozy bits of melted mozzarella. Oh my…
Crispy and Sticky Chicken Thighs with Squashed New Potatoes and Tomatoes
This is a recipe from my new fave cookbook, Jamie at Home by Jamie Oliver. Fantastic cookbook, especially if you’re into learning about growing your own veggies (I used homegrown organic oregano in this recipe, which was a bit thrilling). Anyhow, this recipe is awesome – super easy and simple but really tasty. Brian, who isn’t usually too enthusiastic about food, actually said “good eatin’!”, which I take as high praise.
Chicken Fried Rice
Fried Rice is a super easy, fast and cheap go-to meal. I would say this can go from fridge to table in 20 minutes or less. This is a good thing to make when you have leftover rice. Or if you’ve got a hankerin’ for fried rice, just plan to make something with rice a couple nights before and double the rice batch. You really need to have cold rice for this recipe to work so plan ahead a little. Also, you could use pork or ham instead of chicken if you like.
Chicken and Feta Tacos
Tara taught us how to make these delicious, light chicken feta tacos. I don’t usually like arugula but I like it in this dish. The feta and grape tomatoes add a nice, fresh touch. And they’re easy and quick!
Arroz con Pollo
Growing up, my mom used to make Arroz con Pollo on a fairly regular basis. I modified this recipe and replaced the white rice with brown rice so it takes a bit longer to cook. But it’s an easy one-dish meal that’s simple enough for a weeknight.
