Chickenettes Recipe

What is a Chickenette? Well, it is my new word *poof* enjoy it. If Rachel Ray can invent EVOO I can have Chickenettes. Right? ;) Besides this delish dish needs a unique name. My family loves Salmon patties or Salmonettes. So I decided to try them with chicken. I used the method of cooking you use when making salmon patties. I just changed up the ingredients. This one should be pretty easy and oh so tasty. :)

Ingredients:


3 Cups Shredded Rotisserie Chicken 
1 1/2 Cups Bread Crumbs
1 tsp Chicken Seasoning
1 tsp Onion Powder
EVOO for frying
Pepper
2 Eggs


Directions:


Place your chicken in a processor one cup at a time and pulse it a few times. Don't over do it or you'll have a puree. Place processed chicken in a bowl with the bread crumbs, chicken seasoning, onion powder, and pepper; mix. Taste this mix now and adjust seasonings if desired. Lightly beat the eggs and pour them into the dry mix. Pour the oil into a frying pan turn heat to medium. Now get your hands dirty! Mix everything up and form into 12 patties. Press them into the frying pan once oil is hot. These will cook about 4-5 minutes on the first side and 2-3 on the other side. You are basically cooking the egg and browning them. We served these with chicken gravy. My family really loves them and requests them all the time. I have to say that the Rotisserie Chicken really is the ingredient that makes or breaks this recipe. You could always use what ever chicken you have on hand but more seasoning may be required.


Tip:
Rotisserie Chicken is a staple in my house. I make mine with this recipe in my crock pot so it doesn't break the bank. I put the left overs in a freezer bag in my freezer for recipes like this one. In seconds I can make homemade chicken and dumplings, chicken noodle soup, or chicken tacos that taste like I worked hard all day. 


As always I hope you like this one. If you have any questions let me know in the comments. 
EnJoY!

Buffy’s Steak and Shrimp Kabobs

How pretty are those? When I saw them on my sister's facebook wall I pounced on them for you all. They made my mouth water and I will be putting together my own batch asap. We didn't get a picture of them after they were done, but that is no surprise. I'm sure these do not last long! Here is the recipe for you to enjoy. Kabobs can be changed up from steak to chicken or pork. You could even  just do veggies its really up to you! Have fun with it. =)

Buffy’s Steak and Shrimp Kabobs

6 Sirloin Steak; Cut into Chunks
1 Bag Shrimp; Deveined, and Tails Removed
1 Package Whole Mushrooms
1 Package Small Tomatoes
3 Onions; Quartered and Separated
6 Green Peppers; Quartered
Grill Seasonings
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Sweet Baby Ray Sweet and Spicy

Preheat your outdoor grill. Prep your first six ingredients. After you are done cleaning, cutting, and chopping begin assembling your kabobs. The skewers used had four skewers on one handle. After you have your kabobs assembled, sprinkle each one with Grill Seasoning, Salt, and Pepper on both sides. Place kabobs directly onto grill. Baste with BBQ sauce. Cook for about 10 minutes baste and turn. Cook another 10 minutes. Until Shrimp is pink and Steaks are cooked to medium. Cooking times will vary depending on your steak preference.

Meat Doneness Temperatures For Steaks and Lamb

Medium-Rare 145 °F

Medium 155 °F

Alright folks that's it. I hope you enjoy this one! I want to say a HUGE thank you to Buffy for sharing with us. If you all are nice I may be able get more recipes from her! ;) So if you like it then you should put a pin on it. =)

Crockpot Wednesday: The Best Ever Crock Pot Lemon Pepper Chicken

The Best Ever Crock Pot Lemon Pepper Chicken
SERVES 2 -4

Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup water
lemon pepper seasoning
vegetable oil cooking spray or olive oil flavored cooking spray
additional water or milk, as necessary
hot cooked rice

Directions
Sprinkle chicken with lemon pepper seasoning to taste on both sides.
Brown (do not cook through) chicken on both sides in a pan coated with the spray Place chicken in crock pot coated with the spray.
In a bowl, mix contents of soup can, water and milk until no longer separated Pour soup mixture over chicken.
Add more milk or water to ensure liquid in crock pot covers chicken Cook chicken over low heat for 6 hours.
To thicken sauce, place in small saucepan, add a cornstarch slurry, and bring to a boil. Serve chicken and sauce over hot cooked rice.

I orginally shared this recipe during my Weekly Meal Plan. Julie one of my readers mentioned the fat content of this recipe. I do agree it is quite high, but I think that is an easy fix. Swap ingredients with low fat versions. 98% fat free soup, skim milk, and trimming the chicken of any fat can easily lower the fat content.
I also wanted to give all my readers a heads up. I'll be posting a review soon and I want you to take a moment and check out this great sponsor over at stool. Don't forget to enter my current giveaway here.
