Today’s Menu: Chicken, Bacon, Vermont Cheddar Cheese, Honey Mustard and Lettuce Hoagie w/ Baked Fries

For Breakfast this morning I made a Egg White Ham and Cheese Omelet. I used Egg Beater’s Egg Whites, Meijer Diced Ham, and Sargento Off the Block Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I also toasted a slice of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread topped with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. It’s one rainy day out there today. Rain and 59 degrees out today. House cleaned today, ran the vacuum and dusted. Then straightened up the pantry. For Dinner tonight a Chicken, Bacon, Vermont Cheddar Cheese, Honey Mustard and Lettuce Hoagie w/ Baked Fries.

A Chicken, Bacon, Vermont Cheddar Cheese, Honey Mustard and Lettuce Hoagie sure sounded goods for Dinner tonight! I have seen a few on cooking shows recently and just thought it was time to have one. I’ll need a package of Thin Cut Chicken Breasts, Boar’s Head Vermont Cheddar, French’s Honey Mustard, Butter Lettuce, and a Meijer Perfection Wheat Mini Hoagie Bun.

I bought a package of Katie’s Best Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts at Meijer a day ago and I’ll be using those. To prepare them, this morning I removed a couple of them from the package and froze the remainder. I put the Chicken in a large Hefty Plastic Bag and added Buttermilk and Frank’s Hot sauce to bag. Squeezed the bag together making sure to fully cover both Chicken Breasts and sat the bag in the fridge to marinate until ready to use.

I turned the oven on to 400 degrees. Then to prepare the Chicken I first got a Cast Iron Skillet out. Added a 1 1/2 tablespoons of Extra Light Olive Oil to it and heated the skillet on medium heat. As the skillet was heating got the bag with Chicken marinating out of the fridge. Took the Chicken out of the bag and shook off the excess Buttermilk and Hot Sauce Marinade, I seasoned them with Salt and Pepper. I then put a couple of tablespoons of Flour, that I Seasoned with Paprika, a in pie pan and rolled the Chicken Breasts in the Flour, making sure both sides were covered with the Flour.

With the Cast Iron heated I added the Chicken Breasts. Cooked them 2 minutes a side and then finished them off in the oven. I flipped them over 1 more time and continued to cook them until I had a temperature reading of 165°F. As I removed them from the oven I added a slice of Boar’s Head Vermont Cheddar Cheese to them. The Chicken came out Golden Brown!

To make my Hoagie I’ll need Bacon, Vermont Cheddar Cheese (already added), Honey Mustard, Lettuce, and the Wheat Hoagie Buns. I used Smithfield Hickory Smoked Bacon that I had fried earlier this afternoon. I only needed about about 2 slices per Hoagie but as always when frying Bacon you have to double the amount you prepare because you end up eating half of what you fix!

So I split the Hoagie Buns in 1/2. On the bottom Bun I added the Honey Mustard putting a nice slathering across the Bun. I love that word slathering, it just sounds like something good is coming! So then I added the Lettuce, the Cheese topped Chicken Breast, the Bacon, and the top Bun. The Hoagie was delicious!

To go with Hoagie I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Cut Fries, served with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Health Benefits of Chicken Breast
Chicken breast is an excellent source of low-fat protein. Protein helps your body to maintain muscle mass and also helps you to build muscle if you are participating in a strength program. Chicken breast is also a very good source of selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B6, and niacin.

Today’s Menu: Fried Chicken Thighs w/ Fried Potatoes and Canned Green Beans

For Breakfast this morning I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 44 degrees and partly cloudy out there today. After my Tea I went to Walmart. Needed some Printing Ink and a few other things. On the way back I stopped at McDonald’s and picked up Breakfast for Mom. Got the rake and leaf blower out and cleaned off the deck, driveway, and raked the front yard. Did a few other things around the house outside. For Dinner tonight one of my favorite meals, Fried Chicken Thighs w/ Fried Potatoes and Canned Green Beans!

I had a bought package of the Simple Truth Boneless and Skinless Chicken Thighs from Kroger and had them in the freezer. Laid the package in the fridge overnight to thaw. To prepare them I’ll just need Flour, Morton’s Lite Salt, Ground Pepper, and Extra Light Olive Oil. I think the trio of Fried Chicken Thighs, Fried Potatoes, and Canned Green Beans were meant to be together, one of our favorite meals!

I got a large Cast Iron Skillet, sprayed it with a light coat of Pam Non Stick Spray, added 1 1/2 tablespoons of Extra Light Olive Oil, and heated it on medium heat. As the skillet was heating I got a pie pan out and put 2 tablespoons of Flour in it. Next I got the Chicken Thighs out of the package and seasoned them with Salt and Pepper and rolled them in the Flour. With the skillet heated I added the Thighs to the skillet and put a lid on the skillet. Fried the Thighs for about 9 minutes and then flipped them over, put the lid back on the skillet to cook another 7 minutes. As the Chicken Thighs were cooking I got out a second Cast Iron Skillet, sprayed it, added the Olive Oil and let it preheat on medium heat. Then I washed and cut the Potatoes for the Fried Potatoes.

For one side we had Fried Potatoes, which I picked up at Meijer the other day. I love these and Mom makes the best! I bought a bag of Medium Size Red Potatoes, which we’ll be using. To prepare them; first wash the Whole Potatoes and dry with a paper towel. Next grab a Cast Iron Skillet and add 1 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil and heat the Skillet on medium high.

With the skillet heated add the Potatoes. After adding the Potatoes add your Seasoning, we just used Salt and Pepper. Then fry until the Potatoes start to turn brown. Then flip them with a spatula and continue frying until done. I love these Potatoes and they are so easy to prepare.

As the Potatoes were cooking I had also opened up a quart jar of Canned Green Beans and had them on already cooking. I love these, always taste so fresh! Just heat them up in a large sauce pan and serve. One delicious Dinner as always when having the Chicken Thighs! For Dessert tonight I had a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s of Hanover Mini Pretzels with a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.

Today’s Menu: Baked Chicken Wings w/ Baked Fries and Light Texas Toast

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. Heavy fog this morning, couldn’t see past 1 house up or down the street. 54 degrees and sunny for the day. Went to Meijer for a few items and then stopped and picked up Breakfast for Mom. Spent the rest of the afternoon talking to my cousins who came over. Good catching up with them! For Dinner tonight its Baked Chicken Wings w/ Baked Fries and Light Texas Toast.

I’m using Kroger Oven Roasted Chicken Wings. I started by heating the oven on 425 degrees F., same temperature I’ll need for my Fries and Texas Toast. I took a small Baking Sheet and lined it with foil. Then sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray. Spread the Wings out across the sheet and baked them for 33 minutes, turning them once after 17 minutes. I love Wings, and these are excellent Wings! Served them with Dipping Sauces of Hidden Valley Buffalo/Ranch Dressing and Litehouse Light Blue Cheese Dressing.

With the oven already heated I baked my Fries. I used Ore Ida Crinkle Cut Fries. Like all the Ore Ida Products, they are easy to prepare and delicious. I just baked them for 19 minutes and done! Served them with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup.

I also baked up some slices of New York Bakery Light Texas Toast. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Coke Zero to drink.

Cast Iron Baked Chicken w/ Sliced New Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Johnnny Cakes

Today’s Menu: Cast Iron Baked Chicken w/ Sliced New Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Johnnny Cakes

For Breakfast this morning I toasted a Thomas Light 100% Multi Grain English Muffin and topped it with a Poached Egg. I also fried up 2 Jennie – O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Partly cloudy and 49 degrees out today. Not too bad for late December! After Breakfast I went to Kroger to pick up a couple of last minute Gift Cards for Christmas. No more Christmas shopping, done! Stopped and got gas and then hit the car wash, my car needed it! Spent the rest of the afternoon watching Football and some Basketball. For Dinner tonight I prepared Cast Iron Baked Chicken w/ Sliced New Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Johnnny Cakes.

I cam across the recipe for the Cast Iron Baked Chicken on a episode of Cooks Country on our local PBS Channel. It looked and sounded delicious so that’s our Dinner tonight. To prepare it I’ll need; Hungarian Paprika, Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Granulated Garlic, 2 Chicken Breasts, Blue Bonnet Butter, Thyme, and a Cast Iron Skillet. The original recipe calls for a 3 pound bone-in chicken that you cut up. But being just me and Mom the 2 Chicken Breasts were enough. I also had to substitute Dried Thyme for the fresh Sprigs of Thyme. To prepare it; I got a Cast Iron Skillet and added 2 tablespoons of Extra Light Olive Oil to it and sit in the oven. I then heated the oven on 450 degrees. I love using Cast Iron Skillets. You can cook or sear something in it on the stove and then move it right into a heated oven. Plus they keep their heat so good. I have 5 different sized Cast Iron Skillets! As the Cast Iron and oven were heating I combined the Paprika, Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Dried Thyme, and Granulated Garlic in a bowl. Pat the Chicken Breasts dry with paper towels and sprinkled all over with the Spice Mixture.

When the oven is heated, remove hot skillet. Added Butter, let it melt. Placed the chicken in skillet. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 15 minutes. Removed the skillet from oven and flip chicken. Return the skillet to oven and bake until breasts register 160 degrees. Let chicken rest in skillet for 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and spoon the pan juices over top. Its ready to serve! The Chicken came out moist and flavorful, browned up perfect! I’ve left the original recipe at the end of the post.

For one side I heated up a can of Del Monte Sliced New Potatoes. I use a lot of Del Monte Vegetable Products, always delicious and store a lot longer than fresh Vegetables. To prepare them I emptied the can into a small sauce pan. Heated it on medium heat until heated through.

I also opened up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. I heated them up in a small sauce pan on medium heat. Stirred often until heated, then served.

And finally I made some Johnny Cakes. To prepare them all you’ll need is: Pam w/ Olive Oil Non – Stick Spray, 1/4 cup Extra Light Olive Oil, 1 3/4 cups Low Fat Buttermilk, and 2 cups Martha White Self Rising Enriched White Corn Meal Mix. Just mix all your ingredients in a large bowl. Spray your Pam on a Flat Top Griddle or large Skillet and preheat on medium low, I use the Flat Top Griddle. When the Griddle is heated add your batter. You can make the Cakes any size you want from half-dollar size to regular pancake size cakes. After the bottom side turns golden brown flip over and let the other side get golden brown. These Johnny Cakes work perfect with any meal! Excellent Dinner tonight. I’ll add this Chicken Recipe to my Keeper List for sure! The Chicken comes out so moist and delicious! For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

I had more pictures but not sure what happened, they were deleted.

Cook’s Country Cast Iron Baked Chicken

INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces (2 split breasts, 2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, and 2 wings with wingtips discarded), trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 sprigs fresh thyme

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Our favorite cast-iron skillet is the Lodge Classic Cast Iron Skillet, 12″. Note that the cast-iron skillet should be preheated along with the oven; this is key to getting crispy, well-browned skin. You will not achieve the same type of browning with a conventional skillet. A 4-pound whole chicken will yield the 3 pounds of parts called for in the recipe. Our favorite paprika is The Spice House Hungarian Sweet Paprika.
INSTRUCTIONS

1 – Adjust oven rack to middle position, place 12-inch cast-iron skillet on rack, and heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, and granulated garlic in bowl. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and sprinkle all over with spice mixture.

2 – When oven is heated, carefully remove hot skillet. Add butter, let it melt, and add thyme sprigs. Place chicken in skillet skin side down, pushing thyme sprigs aside as needed. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 15 minutes.

3 – Remove skillet from oven and flip chicken. Return skillet to oven and bake until breasts register 160 degrees and drumsticks/thighs register at least 175 degrees, about 15 minutes longer.

4 – Let chicken rest in skillet for 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter and spoon pan juices over top. Serve.

Today’s Menu: Guthrie’s Chicken Fingers – Snack Box

To start the morning off I had a Poached Egg that I served on a Thomas Light English Muffin and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Cold, cloudy, and windy out, had a high of 32 degrees. I spent the whole day baking. I baked 14 Pillsbury Quick Breads, Cinnamon Swirl. I made them for our neighbors around us for Christmas and I bought a few plastic Candy Canes that were filled with Green and Red M and M’s for the kids. So after a full day baking, the Kitchen is Closed! For Dinner tonight its Guthrie’s Chicken Fingers and brought home Dinner.

We love the Guthrie’s Chicken Fingers. So I decided to go to Guthrie’s Chicken Fingers and pick up Dinner for us tonight. The Chicken Fingers are always nice size and have an excellent Breading and Seasoning. It comes with a container of the Guthrie’s Signature Sauce. Very good Dipping Sauce, good recipe! It also comes with Crinkle Cut Fries which are excellent also! For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Coke Zero to drink. Take care all!

Guthrie’s Chicken Fingers – Golden Fried Chicken Fingers
Make no mistake, these are the Golden Fried Standard of all Chicken Fingers. We are the original chicken finger specialists and you will taste the difference 50 plus years makes from the first bite. We never compromise on the high quality and strict standards of our chicken tenderloins and we still serve it with the same special blend of spices we did in 1965. There are two types of chicken fingers: Guthrie’s Chicken Fingers and all the rest.

Snack – 3 Chicken Fingers, Fries, and 1 Guthrie’s Signature Sauce

Our Snack Box is the perfect size for kids or anyone looking for a smaller version of our Guthrie’s box. With its size and delicious essentials, it quite possibly could be the world’s easiest meal to eat.

Today’s Menu: Chicken Burger w/ Baked Fries

For Breakfast this morning I prepared some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, heated up some Kroger Diced Ham, and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I made a bed of the Hash Browns in a bowl and sprinkled some Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Next I put the Diced Ham over top the Hash Browns. Also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Started off a cold morning at 27 degrees. Nice day out, 48 degrees and sunny. Not a lot going on today. Just did a few things around the house. I did help Mom dig out the Christmas Decorations from the closets and shed. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Ground Chicken Burger w/ Baked Fries.

I purchased a package of Ground Chicken from Meijer my last visit there. To make the Burger I’ll need; the Ground Chicken (1 lb. package), Ground Cumin, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Dried Oregano, McCormick’s Grinders of Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and Meijer Italian Style Bread Crumbs. For toppings I’m using Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/Olive Oil, Heinz 57 Sauce, Hoffman’s Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Butter Leaf Lettuce and served on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun.

To prepare them, in a large bowl, combine Chicken, Ground Cumin, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Dried Oregano, Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and Italian Style Bread Crumbs. The Seasonings amount are to taste and 2 tablespoons of the Italian Style Bread Crumbs. Make a little depression with your thumb in the center of each burger so they cook evenly. Divide the mixture into 4 patties.

In a Cast Iron Skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add burger patties and cook, flipping once, until golden and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with cheddar and cook until just started melting, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer patties to a plate. Serve on the Buns and top with Mayo, Heinz 57 Sauce, and Lettuce. The Ground Chicken Burger is juicy, moist, and flavorful! I’ll have to start having a lot more often!

To go with the Chicken Burger I prepared Ore Ida Golden Crinkle Cut French Fries. Like all the Ore Ida Products, they are easy to prepare and delicious. I just baked them for 19 minutes and done! Served them with a side of Heinz 57 Sauce. For Dessert later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Sprite Zero to drink.

Ground Chicken
Ground chicken is a healthy start for any meal since one serving (100 grams, or about 3 ounces) meets one’s protein needs for a nutritious meal – plus it’s lower in calories and fat than many meat sources. Lean ground chicken is high in protein and offers less saturated fat than ground beef.
