Honey Chicken Stir-Fry

I LOVE stir-fry! Homemade stir-fry is probably my favorite dinner meal. I have about 15 different chicken stir-fry recipes that I rotate through. I thought I would share one with you today. I made this recently for a visit with my in-laws. Everyone enjoyed it. Even my kids ate it, albeit not until the next day because they were too excited that Grandma and Grandpa were around to eat it when it was fresh.

I like that this is made from simple whole ingredients that most people have in their pantry and fridge.

I served this over long grain brown rice rather than pasta and used peanuts in place of cashews because that's what I had on hand. If you want to lighten this dish up a bit and cut back on the sugar content, you can reduce the sauce in half and probably still have plenty, especially if you serve it over rice instead of pasta.

Quick and Easy Mexican Chicken

Here is another healthy, easy and kid-friendly dinner recipe for you. I just found this one last week and have made it twice. The first time I served it over rice with a side of steamed broccoli and the second time I served it as a filling for tortillas with avocado, Greek yogurt (to replace sour cream), diced tomatoes and lettuce leaves. It was well received by all of my family both times. The only change I made was to cut the chicken into strips and place it in a ziploc bag with the oil and seasonings and let it marinate for about 30 minutes before cooking. I hope you enjoy it!

Green Beans, Chicken Breasts and Red Skin Potatoes

Most of you may have already heard of, seen and/or made this recipe by now. It's been going around Facebook for months if not years. If you haven't made it yet, you should! It took me a long time to try it out from the time I first heard about it. Now I make it on a weekly basis because it is perfect for me to pop in the oven on the evenings that hubby and I have to pass the baton right at dinner time. Does it taste like a gourmet meal? No, but it's good for something that takes less than ten minutes to throw together and only uses one dish! I make my own Italian dressing mix (omit the salt) and I usually use butter, but not nearly as much as this calls for! I probably only use about 2 or 3 tablespoons. I have also done half butter, half olive oil. I prefer fresh green beans to canned. They turn out crisp tender, which is perfect!

2-Ingredient Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken

I'm always on the lookout for easy and yummy crockpot recipes. I love being able to throw something in the crockpot early in the day so that I don't have to worry about fixing dinner when I get home from work or before I have to go out to work in the evening or right after my girls wake up from their naps and are cranky! This one is a cinch and is delicious atop some tortilla chips and romaine lettuce and garnished with avocado and a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt. You can also skip the chips and just wrap it up inside a couple of big lettuce leaves or a tortilla. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
