I was shocked to find out that so many people I know have switched from pork bacon to turkey bacon. I am without a doubt a huge bacon lover so even getting myself to try it was a big ordeal. You can of course taste the difference but it’s really not bad! The boys have actually come to like it too. What I like about it most is knowing there is not all that grease in the pan when it’s done cooking. I know, I know, that’s the best part right?

I am certain this is not an original idea but it was one of those, open the fridge, look in and grab, dinner moments. Really simple and really delicious. I am a big fan of Applegate Naturals bacon for a number of reasons.

It is all natural, no antibiotics used, gluten free, casein free, not preserved, minimally processed, no artificial ingredients and a lot more. I purchase mine at Kroger so there is a very good chance you can find this at your local grocery store. Applegate isn’t just limited to bacon either. They make a wide variety of products from hot dogs to lunch meats!

Here is their entire line!

Ingredients:

5 Boneless Skinless Chicken breasts
12 strips of ApplegateBacon
Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Slice your chicken long ways in half, making them more like a tender shape.

Season each side of your chicken with a little salt and pepper. You can really use any spices that you want for this step. I just used my house seasoning which is just salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Wrap a piece of bacon around each tender. I made some with pork bacon and some with turkey bacon. I was just interested to see the flavoring difference. I liked them both personally.

I did cook them in two smaller pans as to avoid all of the grease getting onto the turkey ones.

Cover each pan and bake in a pre-heated 350 degree over for 30 minutes. At this point, you want to uncover the chicken and turn the broiler on for just a few minutes. All you are really looking to do here is make the bacon a little crispy. If you like it on the softer side, by all means, skip this step and eat!

I happened to have some Kraft Smokin Bacon Ranch dipping sauce on hand so I figured, why not! There is no such thing as to much bacon!

I am not a big vegetable eater so trying a dish with broccoli wasn’t exactly my idea interesting. I think if you are making an attempt to eat more vegetables, this isn’t were to start This classic Asian  beef and broccoli is easy to prepare with Sun-Bird Seasoning Mixes. These Seasoning Mixes can be found at your local grocery store in the Asian food section. My closest store is Kroger and they sell them and are really cheap.  If you don’t eat beef or broccoli, substitute chicken and fresh cut green beans for beef and broccoli.

As you can probably tell if you are a frequent reader of this site, I am in fact a chicken addict. This are probably the fastest chicken tenders I have ever made. Since our store seemed to have a run on Corn Flakes, I used a Toasted Corn cereal. It didn’t really come out as crispy as it should have so I do recommend making sure you use Corn Flakes. Next, The recipe calls for 6 to 1 on the Mayo and Honey Mustard sauce. I don’t think the flavor was there so I recommend using 5 tbsp of Mayo and 2 tbsp of Honey Mustard.

Prep Time: 15 minutes     Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 Tbsp. Hellmann’s® or Best Foods® Light Mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp. Honey Mustard
• 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 1-1/2 cups finely crushed corn flakes
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Combine Mayonnaise and Honey Mustard in medium bowl; reserve 1/2 for dipping.
2. Add chicken to remaining mayonnaise mixture; stir to coat.  Mix corn flakes with Parmesan Cheese, then roll chicken in crumbs.
3. Arrange on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Serve with reserved honey mustard sauce.

Think you can’t cook? Do you watch those “30 Minute Meal” shows hoping to pick up something fast and easy? It’s true, you really can make something fast and simple in 30 minutes. I think this recipe would go great with some corn on the cob! It only takes 10 minutes to put together (It took me 7!) ans 20 minutes to bake. This is a much faster option to my previous Cajun Chicken recipe. I am loving these recipes so much for days when I don’t have a lot of time or I just don’t feel like getting into a long dinner process. My favorite part, not many dishes! I love these fast recipes because the chicken stays so moist. I hate dried out chicken.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Hellmann’s or Best Foods Mayonnaise
1-1/2 Tbsp. Cajun spice
1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
2 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 oz. ea.)
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs

Directions:
Combine mayonnaise, cajun spice and 1/4 cup of the cheese. Spread on chicken, then sprinkle with bread crumbs and parsley. Bake at 425°, 20 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; heat 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted. That’s it!

TIP: My sons found this a tad spicy so feel free to cut back on the Cajun Spice a little if you like.

I looked at this recipe and hesitated to make it. When I started making it, I wasn’t exactly sure how I was going to like the taste of cooked mayonnaise slathered on top of my chicken. I gave it a shot and surprisingly, it was delicious. I make a lot of chicken and this has to be one of the fastest and simplest chicken recipes I have ever made. The boys even asked for seconds. I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you and/or our family thinks!

Prep Time: 10 minutes     Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Hellmann’s or Best Foods Real Mayonnaise (I used Hellman’s Light)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/4 lbs.)
4 tsp. Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°.

Combine Hellmann’s® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise with cheese in medium bowl. Arrange chicken on baking sheet. Evenly top with mayonnaise mixture, then sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Bake 20 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Time saving Tip: Try making this dish with thin-cut boneless skinless chicken breasts! Prepare as above, decreasing bake time to 10 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked through. TIP: Omit Parmesan cheese and have Magically Moist Chicken on table in less then 30 minutes.

This year for Valentine’s Day we stayed in. Since I am not big on this holiday to start with, I was happy with this. My son ended up with the Flu and home that night (and the rest of the week off school) so we made it work. My boyfriend made me a delicious Valentine’s Day dinner. I’m a chicken and pasta addict so the man fed right into that addiction! He has a background in cooking so I thought it was time the man cooked for me. Here is the recipe he used with a few of his own little tweaks.

Ingredients:

• 4  boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips or cubes
• 1 pound Mueller’s linguine cooked al dente
• 4 teaspoons McCormick Cajun seasoning
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 thinly sliced green onion
• 2 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 4 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Nakano Red Pepper Seasoned Rice Vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Nakano Basil & Oregano Seasoned Rice Vinegar
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Place chicken, vinegars and Cajun seasoning in a bowl and toss to coat.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chicken in butter until chicken is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Reduce heat add green onion, heavy cream, tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and heat through.
4. Pour over hot linguine and toss with Parmesan cheese.
