Spicy Moroccan Glazed Chicken

I knew from the recipe selection this was going to be either a hit or a miss. The spices were in our pantry as my sister can attest. She was just here helping me and wondered about some of the unusual spices we had including some for this recipe...that is unusual to her! Little Chef C was ready to begin with her apron on anxious to do her job. She first measured out the lime juice then the yogurt. It's a good thing we had the plain yogurt from the Creamy Cucumbers to use up as we are not fans ...

Cheddar Chicken and Potatoes

Thanks to all who linked up to Fantastic Thursday #1. The party is still open if you want to join. Don't forget to enter my Flirty Aprons giveaway. The prize is cute matching aprons for mom and child. Another one of our Family Favorites is Cheddar Chicken and Potatoes. We like it because it is a one dish meal and it is fairly simple and has common ingredients. We add a lot of cheese and bacon because that is what we love! Little Chef A is improving her knife skills. She finely diced the ...

Chicken Francese

Chicken Francese was shown by Chef Robert in one of the Restaurant Impossible episodes. This was one of the times Little Chef C said she wanted to make that recipe. I do have to say she is disappointed sometimes when all the recipes shown are not available online for her to make at home. Little Chef C cracked the eggs very well into a small bowl by herself, then broke them up with a fork. She was very proud she completed this small task alone. She went out of the kitchen for a moment and ...

Oven Fried Chicken

   Chicken seems to be a staple in our home. We loved the Citrus Braised Chicken Breast with Sweet Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Chicken with Orange Maple Glaze.  Oven Fried Chicken from Paula Deen seemed to be a good fit for Little Chef D. She never refuses chicken so when asked if she wanted to make a chicken recipe she was very excited. The other Little Chefs did not know what she was making for dinner. So when I pulled it out of the oven (because Little Chef D is not able to safely ...

How NOT to brine a turkey!

Five Little Chefs - How NOT to brine a turkey Little Chef A thought it would be fun to make a turkey. While we were cooking she said over and over she wished it was Thanksgiving so we could have a lot of cousins to play with! That is usually what happens when we have turkey for a meal. After defrosting the turkey for days and taking up so much space in our refrigerator it was time to start preparing. Little Chef A was overly excited to take it out and put it in the freshly cleaned kitchen ...

Chicken Fajitas

Five Little Chefs - Chicken Fajitas     We bought a lot of fresh vegetables at the store. In our house that usually means Chicken Fajitas for dinner. Little Chef A wanted to help. This recipe has a lot of slicing which is why in the past I've made this alone.This is her day to learn how to slice! The first step for Chicken Fajitas is to make the marinate. She needed to squeeze a lime. Little Chef A immediately took the lime and started rolling it on the counter. I asked her ...

Rosemary Chicken with Orange Maple Glaze

Five Little Chefs - Rosemary Chicken with Orange Maple Glaze We frequently eat chicken, but are always looking for an even better recipe. Little Chef C wanted to try this Rosemary Chicken with Orange Maple Glaze recipe.   We had a chance to talk about substitutes for wine. We do not drink wine, but I don't want my Little Chefs to be afraid of recipes where wine is included. There are substitutes we do not need to throw the recipe out. This time we used chicken broth. Before the ...

Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

Five Little Chefs - Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas     At  one of my regular sites I visit there has been a buzz about these Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas for over a year now, probably two. I always come across it and think we should make these, but then we don't. Finally we did it! I don't know why it took us to long because this is a super easy recipe. Little Chef A and C made the marinade. They are so careful with measuring now they are getting to be very independent. ...

Rumbi Island Easy Mango Chicken and Rice

Five Little Chefs - Rumbi Island Easy Mango Chicken and Rice   Little Chef C wanted to make Rumbi Island Easy Mango Chicken and Rice for dinner. I told her this one was a little different because she would be able to put the chicken and spices in the crockpot then she didn't need to do anything until dinner time. At lunch time she said, "My chicken takes a long time to cook."     The recipe said cumin and lemon pepper to taste. My Little Chefs do not like recipes that say that. ...
