BBQ -Ranch Chicken Wonton Cups

Having friends over for the game? Or maybe you're just looking for some different for dinner tonight. Either way, these work great as appetizers or a weeknight dinner. Most of the entertaining I do these days happens between the hours of 6am & 8pm and my audience consists of two little boys who think my singing is great and love my dance moves, no matter how spastic they are. Needless to say, this recipe was not shared amongst friends, but with the Mister instead. Unfortunately, this was not a winner with O, but then again I wasn't expecting it to be. P on the other hand would have eaten it, no doubt in my mind. He was strictly formula when I made these. I'll have to make again soon and have him weigh in on the results.

You'll never believe me when I tell you where I found this recipe... my favorite virtual recipe book...wait for it...Yep, you guessed it, PINTEREST. Check out Cheerios & Lattes to see where I found this delicious recipe.


Here's what you'll need:
- 2 chicken breasts chopped
- 1 cup of BBQ sauce (we use and love Sweet Baby Ray's)
- 1/4 cup of ranch dressing (I used low fat)
- Won ton wraps (original recipe called for round, but all I could find were the square and they work just as well). You'll find these in the refrigerated case in the produce section.
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

 Instructions:
1. Bake chicken breasts in foil at 350 for 25 minutes.
2. Let chicken cool and shred with fork.
3. Mix chicken, BBQ and ranch dressing.
4. Spray your muffin pan with non-stick cook spray. Place won ton wrap in each muffin opening.
5. Scoop a small amount of chicken mixture into each won ton. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and then repeat (won ton, chicken mixture and cheese).


6. Cook at 375 F for 18-20 minutes.
7. Garnish with cilantro.


As you can see, I forgot to take a picture of the finished product. You'll have to take my word on these; they're great! Hope you enjoy!

Chicken Pesto Flatbread

Image
I have recently become a big fan of pesto. Yum-O. I am going to be completely honest and tell you that this recipe was inspired by the "Chicken Pesto Toasted Flatbreads" at Tropical Smoothie. I ate there for the first time last Friday and was blown away by the deliciousness of this flat bread. I knew that I would have to replicate it very soon...and I did just that tonight. What you'll need: -Chicken: I used cutlets since they were thinner and smaller. I actually oven baked my cutlets in foil pockets at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. -Flat bread: I found 5 Grain Foldit Artisan Flat bread in the deli section at Publix. It was delicious and the best part, only 90 calories! -Pesto: I was originally going to make my pesto, but then stumbled upon Monterey's Basil with Almonds and Pine Nuts Pesto. It was in the refrigerated section near the eggs and refrigerated pastas (at least in my Publix). - Mozzarella Cheese: I used Publix brand low fat. - Optional: lettuce, tomat...

Woodford Reserve Bourbon Balls ~ A sweet Father's Day Treat

Image
Our daddy loves bourbon. Since I met the Mister, bourbon has been a drink of choice. A couple of years ago, he and some friends headed to Kentucky for a bachelor party bourbon trail tour. He had a great time for obvious reasons, but came home with a new love, appreciation and fascination with bourbon. Our liquor cabinet went from having a selection of 2-3 bourbons to probably 6 or 7 choices at any given time. Blanton's, Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace & 1792 are just a few favorites you'll find in our cabinet. With Father's Day being just around the corner, I took to Pinterest for some gift ideas. I had already bought him a gift (a New York Mets Fanchest ), so I was looking for something I could make him. Last weekend we spent some time with our dear friends who live in Spring, Texas (just outside of Houston). It just so happens that these friends are also bourbon drinkers; so lots of stories about the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, drink recipes/concoctions & cooki...

Quick and Easy Chicken Enchiladas (21 Day Fix Inspired Recipe)

Image
Here's another quick, easy and healthier meal option to try. This was my first time preparing and I have to say, it was pretty easy. I will definitely make again, but would make a homemade enchilada sauce instead of store bought. Time and preparation were not on my side when I was shopping for this meal. Like a lot of my recipes, I like to cheat to make things easier. In this case, it was buying a rotisserie chicken and store bought enchilada sauce from Fresh Market. I found this recipe at There's Always Time 4 Fitness . It's a 21 Day Fix recipe. Mine is a slight variation. She does a great job of breaking down all the containers. I encourage you to check out her post if you are following the container portion of the 21 Day Fix. Adapted from There's Always Time 4 Fitness *I used all of the white meat from the rotisserie **2 enchiladas is 1 serving Ingredients: 1 red container of shredded chicken (I used rotisserie chicken from Fresh Market). 1 tsp of So...
