Easy Chicken Stir-Fry

So the other day I made really easy, really yummy chicken stir-fry. It is easy to multiply the servings for how many people you're cooking for, and you can add more or less veggies and grain to fit your diet needs.  I made quinoa to go with it, and it was surprisingly good.  Next time I think I will cook the quinoa with a little soy sauce to give it a little more built-in flavor.

Dice up chicken breast.

 Cook the chicken for a 2 minutes in sesame oil with a little soy sauce.

Add half a cup of veggies for each chicken breast. Cook for about 6 minutes.

 Toss in your sauce of choice. Pour over a bowl of rice or quinoa and serve.

That's it! One easy, delicious, healthy meal ready to go!

Chicken Stir-Fry
1 Chicken Breast
1/2 cup stir-fry veggies
1/4 cup rice or quinoa
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sauce of choice (I used teriyaki)

Cook rice or quinoa according to package (this will take the longest).
Heat oil and soy sauce over medium heat
Cut Chicken breast into 1 inch pieces.
Cook in oil and soy sauce for 2 minutes
Add stir-fry veggies and cook 6 more minutes, stirring regularly, or until veggies are tender and chicken is cooked through.
Toss in 2 tbsp sauce
Pour over rice and enjoy!

Chicken Tacos From Heaven

So I found this recipe when I was a nanny for the kids, and it's so easy!  It also gets so many compliments any time I make it.  I have no idea where I actually found it, but if anyone knows, please let me know so I can give credit!  I promise you this will be the best chicken tacos you will ever make, and it takes you maybe 2 minutes to put everything together.

Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos
3 lbs chicken breast
16 oz jar of salsa
1 packet taco seasoning.

Put chicken in slow cooker.  Cover with salsa and taco seasoning.  Cook on low 6-8 hours, high 4-6 hours.  The chicken will fall apart.

Put on a tortilla and top with your favorite taco fixings.

That is it.

This recipe is also very forgiving.  When it's only 2 of us I just toss 3 chicken breasts in, cover with salsa, and add a sprinkling of taco seasoning.  I don't think I've measured the exact recipe in over a year and it always turns out amazing.

Tasting Party

So the other night I had three of my cousins over to the new house.  What started as a little BBQ quickly turned into an amazing tasting party event!  The man and I bought a new pack of 4 BBQ rubs and we wanted to try them all out, so we made a chicken breast with each rub.

You will need:
Multiple rubs or marinades
Meat to infuse with said rubs or marinades
A fork for each person
Labels for each meat (or guess which is which)

Cook up the meat.
Place on a plate (or a different plate for each)
Start cutting pieces off for each person

We did one bite of each chicken per person, then we all went back and had our favorites.  We didn't remember which chicken had which rub, so it was really fun trying to figure out which was which (there was comparisons of colors what seasoning was in each rub).

Next time we will probably do a rub and beer (or wine, or mixed drink) where we ask our friends to bring the alcohol they would like to share with everyone.

You can also have a tasting party with anything you want (appetizers, sides, desserts, etc).  We may even have a battle of the best where everyone brings a dish and the recipe.  Incorporate that with a pool party, BBQ, or game night and you'll have a night at your house to remember!  As you can see, even my dog wanted to get in on the night!

XOXO Sarah
