Honey Mustard Chicken Salad

I found this recipe a few weeks ago on Facebook from Cafe Delites and couldn't wait to try it out.

I made this for lunch and have made the marinade/dressing several times just for the delicious flavor to make wraps and sandwiches.

Margarita Chicken

A couple of weeks ago I made some amazing Chipotle Marinated Steak for lunch and thought it would be great if there was some chicken to go along with the steak burritos everyone was eating.

Do you have a great chicken marinade?   I certainly didn't.

I usually think of a marinade as Teriyaki but decided my chicken needed something to go along with the steak and what better accompaniment to a Mexican dish than a margarita! 

And so, Margarita Chicken was born.

Chipotle Marinated Steak

Good after my lovelies!   I have an amazing recipe for you today!

Have you been over to see Tieghan at Half Baked Harvest yet?  You SERIOUSLY need to go visit her blog today!  I dare you to try and not come away with at least 3 new recipes to try.  I could happily spend every day over there and still find more recipes to try!

Last week at my link party Tieghan linked up an amazing recipe for Chipotle Steak Burritos, which coincidentally happen to be my daughters very favorite thing at Chipotle, and I knew I had to give them a try.

Honey Mustard Dressing

This is a dressing I made up in the last few weeks and it sure is yummy.  Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Here's what you need:

2 Tbs. Stoneground Country Dijon Mustard

6 Tbs. Honey (I use Trader Joe's )

1-1/2 Tbs. apple cider or seasoned rice wine vinegar

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup Canola oil

Place the mustard, honey, salt and vinegar in a bowl or large measuring cup and mix until completely incorporated.  Add the oil and mix until completely incorporated.  Store in the refrigerator for several weeks.  

Super delicious on salad or as a dip or served with chicken for dipping.

Serves - 1 cup approx.

Enjoy!

Ultimate BBQ Sauce

I got this Awesome BBQ sauce from my Auntie Sharon and have used it for years.  It is wonderful on BBQ chicken but over the years I have also been using it in my crock pot with pork ribs.  It takes on a totally different flavor when cooked all day with the ribs, so please give it a try more than one way like I do.

Here's what you need:

2 cups ketchup

1/4 cup water

1 Tbl. yellow mustard

2 Tbl. vinegar (red wine or seasoned)

2 Tbl. brown sugar, packed

1 tsp. granulated garlic or garlic powder

1 sm. red onion, chopped

1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1/4 tsp. Tabasco sauce 

1/4 cup canola oil

1 Tbl. dried parsley

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and use in the crock pot to cook meat in or over chicken on the BBQ.  If using on the BBQ don't baste until the last 15 minutes or so of cooking, because of the sugar in the sauce it will burn if cooked to long over an open flame.

Enjoy!

Blue Ribbon BBQ Sauce

Here is one of the new barbecue sauces I found tonight and will be using from now on.  I found it in one of my favorite cookbooks found here.  It's a wonderful book and has many rubs that I use too.

Here's what you need:

1/4 cup Sugar In The Raw
1/2 cup honey
1/2 tsp. Cayenne pepper
2/3 cup apple juice
2 cups your favorite barbecue sauce (I used Kraft Original)

Place all ingredients into a 2 quart sauce pan and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes until well combined.

   

Serve with ribs, chicken, pork, hamburgers, etc.

Serves - 3 cups approximately

Enjoy!
