The thing about life on the plantation is that its like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. These kids might pick up random ingredients, and on occasion when she runs up on a deal too good to pass up my mom might stop by bringing random ingredients, and so with the help of the cooking channel, and especially the show "chopped" and of course pinterest I have become pretty good at turning those random ingredients into food.
Tonight I'm working with a package of chicken thighs, a jar of jalapenos, and some frozen square hash brown patties. Of course Ill add some other things in with it, but those are my three main ingredients. If this were an episode of "chopped" those would be my mystery basket items. Luckily I have way more time to figure it out, I don't have to start cooking 3 or 4-ish so in the mean time, I'm off to search the wide world of recipes for something that inspires me.
Thought I would take you along with me this time, and share some of what I find. So, are you ready for some great Chicken jalapeno recipe links?
Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole
This casserole is so pretty it looks more like art than food I bet hubby would eat this without even questioning what is in it.
Jalapeno Popper Chicken Chili
Is there anything better than a bowl of chili, I've tried many variations of chili with chicken and chili with beef i even tried a vegan meatless chili once, oh and there was that one recipe that called for cocoa powder.. YUM!!! and I loved them all, I don't think I've ever met a chili i didn't like. But white chicken chili, this I have never had this one is going on my must try list and this one will be tried very soon. I would eat chili 7 days a week if I could.
Jalapeno Chicken Thighs
I don't know about the carrots to go with it but I'm up for trying this chicken recipe
Green Chili Chicken Burgers
you know I bought that meat grinder that I have never opened, because I read that I can grind meat in my Ninja food processor. But this might be the perfect excuse to crack open that box.
Crockpot Pulled Pork
Pulled pork, pulled chicken, pulled beef, I love any meat that's been pulled and ready to go on a bun. Slow cooked pull meat sandwiches are right up there with chili I would eat that stuff everyday.
Jalapeno Popper Taquitos
I've never had taquitos, but this recipe makes me want to try it. I'm a fan of mexican food too... Haha let me not lie to you.. I'm a fan of food in general.
So after all these great recipes, I'm leaning towards doing something in the crock pot. Ive added cream cheese to my list of items my supper must have. I'm thinking something Jalapeno popper ish in flavor. But not soup. Hubby will flip his bitch switch over soup, I can hear him now.. "I work all day and you want to feed me a bowl of cracker water"... But if I can convince him its chili, then that is acceptable. (sigh... The joys of living with a picky eater... and its not even a flavor thing, its a looks thing. It has to look pretty for him to even touch it.. :P)
So I hope you enjoy the links and Ill be back later to update on what I finally made.
You can see what I created for our supper tonight at this link...
