Ingredients

  • Pasta
  • 8 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked according to package directions (half of a 1-pound box)
  • Chicken
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for sauce + 1 tablespoon for cooking chicken
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning blend for sauce + more for sprinkling over chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • leaves from 2 or 3 sprigs of thyme, optional and to taste
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Instructions

  1. Make the Pasta
  2. Cook according to directions on box, drain, and set aside.
  3. Make the Chicken
  4. To a medium bowl or large measuring cup, add the honey, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning, salt, pepper, optional thyme, and stir to combine; set sauce aside.
  5. To a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, add chicken, generously sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning, and cook chicken over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, flipping intermittently so all sides cook evenly. Cooking time will vary based on thickness of chicken breasts and sizes of pieces. Chicken should be about 90% cooked through.
  6. Turn heat to medium-low, and carefully add the sauce noting that it may bubble up in the first few seconds.
  7. Allow sauce to bubble at a low boil for about 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened and reduced some, and chicken is cooked through. Stir sauce and flip chicken intermittently throughout.
  8. Assemble the Pasta
  9. Add pasta to skillet with the chicken and toss to combine and coat. Serve immediately.
  10. Chicken and pasta are best warm and fresh, but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently prior to serving.

#Turtlecheesecakerecipes #Oreofudgecheesecake #Bananapuddingcheesecakerecipe #Samoacheesecakerecipe #Oreodessert #Oreocheesecakerecipe #Turtlecheesecakerecipes #Applepiecheesecakerecipe #Oreofudgecheesecake #Samoacheesecakerecipe #Oreodessert #Oreocheesecakerecipes 








 

 

 

 

Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 Tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup mini chocolate morsels
  • 1 cup marshmallows
  • Cheesecake:
  • 32 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Topping:
  • 10 oz hot fudge topping warmed
  • 2 cups marshmallows

 

 

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 and grease a 9 inch spring form. You will need a large roasting pan (one that’s bigger and longer than the spring form. I use the aluminum foil disposable ones.)
  2. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, vanilla extract and brown sugar. Mix very well.
  3. Spread crumb mixture in the bottom on the spring form, evenly, pressing it over the bottom and half way up the sides.
  4. Spread mini chocolate morsels and marshmallows over the bottom, evenly.
  5. In a bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy. Scrape sides and bottom on the bowl and beat for another minute.
  6. Add corn starch and sugar and mix until combined.
  7. Beat in eggs until well incorporated.
  8. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and heavy cream and beat until all mixed very well.
  9. Transfer batter into the spring form and spread in evenly. (If you are not sure about your springform holding up in water, you can wrap the springform in heavy duty aluminum foil from bottom up to the sides.)
  10. Place roasting pan into the oven and place cheesecake spring form inside the roasting pan. Carefully add water to the roasting pan, about half way up the side of the spring form.
  11. Bake for 90-95 minutes. Turn off the oven and open the oven door half way. Let cheesecake rest for 10 minutes and take it out of the oven.
  12. Let it rest for 10 minutes on the counter and then gently run a butter knife between sides of the cheesecakes and the springform to carefully separate it. (You don't actually have to take the cheesecake out of the pan until ready to serve.)
  13. Cool cheesecake for an hour.
  14. Turn on the broiler in the oven.
  15. Spread warm hot fudge over the top of the cheesecake and spread marshmallows evenly on top.
  16. Place cheesecake back in the center of the oven, under the broiler. Let marshmallow toast for only 30-35 seconds. Watch it because they toast very quickly. Take out the cheesecake once marshmallows are lightly browned.
  17. Cool cheesecake completely, cover gently and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Recipes Cookbook - Food Court Bourbon Chicken Copycat Recipe

Food Court Bourbon Chicken Copycat Recipe |#Food #Court #Bourbon #Chicken #Copycat #Recipes #Chicken_recipes_healthy #Chicken_lo_mein_recipe #Healthy_dinner_recipes #Easy_dinner_recipes #Stuffed_chicken_recipes #Lo_mein_noodles

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 LB chicken thighs, skinless.
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (I used 4 turns on the pepper mill)
  • 1/3 Cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 Cup Bourbon (or whatever brown whiskey you have sitting around. Dark rum would probably work too). If you don’t keep alcohol in your house you can substitute apple juice or cranberry juice. If you use juice, use a little less brown sugar. It really is delicious with just apple juice and no Bourbon.
  • 1/2 Cup water
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar (white wine vinegar or plain white vinegar would do if you don’t have rice vinegar)
  • 1/2 Cup brown sugar, tightly packed
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 3 Tbsp cold water

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken thighs into 1 inch pieces, and remove any excess fat or skin.
  2. In a small bowl combine the ginger, pepper, soy sauce, whisky, water, garlic, vinegar and brown sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a large saute pan or skillet heat the oil on medium high heat.
  4. Add the chicken and cook until the juices have cooked off and the chicken starts to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Stir the chicken every 1-2 minutes so it doesn’t burn and browns evenly.
  5. Add the bourbon mixture and stir well. Allow the liquid to come to a boil and then turn the heat down to medium. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. Don’t rush this as you want the alcohol to cook off from the whiskey.
  6. Add in the cornstarch liquid and stir briskly. The sauce will thicken quickly.
  7. Serve over rice.

Recipes Cookbook - Vegan Lentil Salisbury Steak

Vegan Lentil Salisbury Steak |#Veganlentilrecipes #Veganmushroombacon #Vegetarianveganrecipes #Veganfoods #Vegancooking #Veggierecipes #Chickpearecipes #Chickpearice #Vegansalisburysteak #Veganlentilrecipes #Lentilsalisburysteak #Vegansteakrecipe

Ingredients

  • Lentil Salisbury Steak
  • 2 C. Cooked Lentils
  • 1 C. Vital wheat gluten
  • 1 C. Bread crumbs, vegan
  • 1/2 C. Vegetable broth
  • 1/4 C. Soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. Liquid smoke
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Black pepper
  • 1 Tsp. Olive oil
  • Mushroom Gravy
  • 2 tsp. Olive oil
  • 8 oz. Mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 Cloves Garlic, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp. Vegan butter
  • 3 Tbsp. All purpose flour
  • 2 C. Vegetable broth
  • 1/2 tsp. Sage, dried
  • 1/2 tsp. Thyme
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the Salisbury steak first. In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the cooked lentils. Using either a potato masher or fork. Mash the lentils until they are almost all mashed, leaving a bit of texture.
  2. Now add all the remaining Salisbury steak ingredients to the bowl except the olive oil, that is for cooking them. Start to stir to mix the wet and dry together, then using your hands, continue to mix until fully combined. Then knead together the mixture, knead for a few minutes until it forms a nice dough ball that isn't sticky any more. (The longer you knead them, the firmer they will be)
  3. Now taking large balls of dough, roll then flatten to look like steak. Repeat until you have formed all the dough into "steaks".
  4. Heat the olive in a cast iron skillet or non stick pan on medium high. Now add the steak to the pan, as many as you can fit. You can do it in batches. Cook the lentil steaks on each side for 2-3 minutes until brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the steaks from the pan, and set aside while you make the gravy.
  6. Now make the gravy, heat the olive oil in the same pan on medium high, add the mushrooms and garlic. Saute for a few minutes sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. Saute until soft and a bit brown. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Now add the vegan butter and flour. Whisk together and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux. It should be a bit thick and paste like.
  8. Now add the veggie broth, whisk to combine. Simmer until it has thickened 2-4 minutes. Now add the mushrooms back to the pan, and the spices. Stir. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  9. Now either add the steaks back to the pan and cook with the gravy for a minute, then serve. Or put the steaks on a serving dish, and cover with gravy! Serve with veggies and carbs!

Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup shredded Italian cheese mix (3 oz)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Toppings:
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sliced olives
  • 1 oz pepperoni, thin slices
Instructions
  1. Evenly sprinkle the cheese in a 10-inch nonstick skillet in a thin layer.
  2. Place on burner and heat over medium heat.
  3. When the cheese starts to melt, sprinkle with the garlic powder, oregano and red pepper flakes and top with the onions, olives and pepperoni.
  4. Continue cooking the pizza over medium heat until the bottom and edges are browned. Total cooking time will depends on your stove, and should be about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. At this point, the pizza will be too soft for you to lift it up from the skillet. Allow it to crisp up a bit, about 30 seconds, then use a spatula and carefully slide it onto a cutting board.
  6. Immediately cut the skillet pizza into 8 wedges. Don’t wait – the pizza will continue to crisp as it cools, so if you wait too long it will be impossible to cut.
  7. Briefly place the pizza wedges on paper towels to soak up extra grease, then serve.

Recipes Cookbook - Mango and Pineapple Cupcakes

Mango and Pineapple Cupcakes | #Pinacoladacake #Thumbprintcookies #Dessertrecipes #Cupcakecakes #Deliciousdesserts #Cakedesserts #Swedishmeatballseasyfrozen #Chocolatechipbrowniecookies #Brownieideas #Dessertrecipes #Cookingrecipes #Veganrecipes

Ingredients

  • For the cupcakes:
  • 1 stick (113g) unsalted butter OR Stork baking spread*, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) caster/white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups (210g) plain/all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt, ONLY if using unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (270g) mango pulp/purée
  • 12 tsp pineapple crush, drained and squeezed dry in kitchen paper
  • For the frosting:
  • 2 sticks (226g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups (300g) icing/powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp mango pulp/purée
  • Pinch of salt
  • Sprinkles to decorate, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a 12 hole cupcake pan with liners.
  2. Place the butter/Stork and sugar into a large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. This will take around 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in the eggs, scraping down the sides as necessary, and mix on medium speed until well incorporated.
  4. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt and mix on low until the mixture begins to come together.
  5. Add in the mango pulp and continue to mix on low until the mixture comes together, then turn the speed up to medium for 30 seconds to make sure everything is smooth and well combined.
  6. Divide the mixture between your liners, I use a 2tbsp cookie scoop to ensure even cupcakes. Fill the liners 3/4 of the way up.
  7. Place in the oven for 18-22 minutes, until risen, golden and an inserted skewer into the centre comes out clean.
  8. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to transfer as quickly as possible as I find if you leave them in the pan, the liners peel away from the sides of the cupcakes.
  9. Leave to cool completely, then use a small knife or a cupcake corer to cut the middle out of the cupcakes. Trim the cores down so they're about 1/4 inch thick and leave to one side to use as tops.
  10. Place 1tsp of pineapple crush into the centre of each cupcake and then place one of your core tops on top of the pineapple.
  11. Make the frosting: Place butter and icing sugar into a large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, and mix on low until the sugar starts to combine with the butter, then turn the speed up to medium.
  12. Once there are no bits of sugar visible, add in the salt and 2tbsp of mango pulp, then continue to mix on medium speed. If you need another 1tbsp of mango pulp, add this now. Then turn the speed up to high and beat the frosting until it's light and fluffy. It should hold its shape, but be able to be piped!
  13. Fit an open star nozzle to a piping bag and half fill the bag with frosting. Pipe a swirl onto each cupcake and then top with sprinkles, if desired.
  14. Mango and Pineapple Cupcakes will keep in an airtight container, in the fridge, for 3 days.
