Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Okay, so apparently I already posted this recipe and didn't remember, LOL! Not too uncommon for me since my short term memory tends to fade in and out :) So here is the link to the batter for the fried chicken sandwich, I use the same one to do chicken strips/nuggets.

Chicken Caesar Wraps

My kids' just love these! I have to admit it was my husband who actually fixed it the very first time. I wouldn't have thought the kids would ever even try these, let alone love 'em! But they did and now it's a favorite! The best part of this is that is super quick and easy and it's basically a chicken salad, wrapped in a tortilla shell. Did I mention it's quick and easy, my most favorite recipe :-)
RECIPE:
-1/2 cup cooked chicken, cubed (I buy Shortcuts on sale and freeze it, so I always have seasoned, cooked chicken in the freezer!)
-1/2 cup Salad dressing (I have used Caesar, Ranch, Creamy Italian)
-1/2 cup Croutons
-1/4 to 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
-Lettuce (depends on how many people you have)
-Tortilla shells

Just mix it all up in a big bowl and roll up in tortilla shell, burrito style.

The Gigantor saga continues...

Day 3 of leftover dinners from my infamous Gigantor the Chicken! Last night we had chicken nachos and tonight I just warmed up some leftover chicken with some Mrs. Dash sprinkled on it, some mac and cheese, corn cut off the cob,steamed broccoli,and some rolls and voila dinner for 6 for $.67 a serving! That's incredible news!! The sad news is that I still have chicken leftover. I should be happy b/c we'll have another meal, more than likely 2 meals, but I don't think anyone would complain if we didn't have chicken for a few days! I think I will freeze it and start having beef. Tacos are on the menu for tomorrow night anyways so that will work out great!

I can't believe that I haven't baked anything sweet all week long! I even fed my family store bought brown and serve rolls, not once, but twice! They'll live, those were the only rolls I ever got growing up!

I'm going to try out a new muffin recipe this weekend, that is if I still have apples left in the fridge! Right now we have 5 different kinds of fruit in the house and it'll all be gone by Monday!

I'm fighting the urge not to get up right now and go fix some tortilla chicken soup with the leftovers before freezing it. Ok, so maybe it's not the best thing to do at 9:30 at night! We have a busy day planned with the kids' tomorrow and I will need my rest after riding a bicycle today!

I think I will say my happy goodbye to Gigantor and retire him to the freezer :)

Gigantor the Chicken!

The funniest, dumbest thing happened to me today that I just have to tell you all about it :)

I have a frozen chicken in the freezer, decide to throw it in the crock pot, I rinse it in hot water for awhile, doesn't phase it, so I decide to just check on it hourly to see when it is thawed enough to get the cavity present out, LOL! The orginal plan was to put the chicken on a few rolled up pieces of aluminum foil (read this on the internet). Well Gigantor was so big the lid wouldn't shut with him on the foil balls, so I decided to slice some onions up and throw it on that so he wouldn't stick to the bottom, worked good!

Fast forward to dinner time, Gigantor is just picture perfect and I do mean he looked mightly handsome! Paprika on chicken is like lipstick on lips, it just gives it a great color and makes it more attractive to the eyes! I go to snap a quick picture of him (yes everything is referred to him or his at my house, even my chicken, with 4 boys' here it's just easier! LOL!) my camera doesn't have the SD card in it, my dh (stands for dear husband) has it in the camcorder and I search for it and decide to give up, what kind of crazed woman goes around looking for an SD card to take a picture of a chicken?? (raising my hand) so dh comes home from work and I'm having the hardest time getting Gigantor out of the crock pot, I said Scott I need some help please. Of course he comes over and gets him out with one try, who would've known using 2 spatulas on a 7 lb chicken wouldn't raise it out? I always knew I married someone a whole lot smarter than me! LOL!!

This is where the funny part comes, the picture perfect bird is now on the cookie sheet (that is how huge it was!) and it's missing it's arms! The chicken wings/arms stuck to the side of the crock pot, ROFL!! I said where's the chicken and it made me think of Wendy's commercial, where's the beef? If you are not familiar with that commercial, then I guess it wouldn't be too funny running through your mind then :)

Gigantor was delicious despite the fact that he was armless, LOL! We have tons of leftovers for the next couple of meals also!

Ok, so maybe you won't find this as funny as I did, but it you could've seen those chicken arms stuck to the side it would've cracked you up too, LOL!

Chicken, Chicken

Since the baby is still feeling bad, I thought I would direct you all to an incredible website, southernplate.com I made this last week and it's great! If you're new to southernplate, then boy do you have a treat ahead of you :)

I never did get around to trying out that new chocolate recipe, I'm easily sidetracked! When the kids' get sick I'm a tad frazzled! Hopefully baby will feel well enough for me to do some baking tonight or tomorrow!

I would love to hear if any of you are baking something yummy! I'm working on my blog trying to get a comment thing working, I don't think it is yet! Oh, these computers!! Or as my dh (dear husband) would say, not the computers, but the people working them, LOL! He's a computer expert and me, well let's just say I know how to do my blog, that's incredible for me :-)
