Parchament Chicken



As you can tell from the lack of postings this week, things around here can get pretty busy. This recipe is one of my favorites for those long days with not much time for dinner prep! This meal cooks the veggies and chicken altogether in a nice parchment package. I like to serve rice and fresh fruit with this dish to make it a well balanced meal for my family. With this recipe you are the chef! You can use whatever veggies your family enjoys and season the chicken with different spices you have in your cupboard!





Parchment Chicken
adapted form South Beach Cookbook

4 chicken breasts
Garlic Salt or lemon pepper
1 medium carrot
1 zucchini
small pieces of broccoli
diced mushrooms (optional of course)
Sliced red onion
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
3 cloves of garlic


Saute veggies in garlic and olive oil for about 3-4 minutes, season with garlic salt to taste. Set aside.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut four 1 foot lengths of parchment paper. Place chicken breast in the middle, season with garlic salt or spices of your choice. Spoon 1/4 of the vegetable mixture over each chicken breast.
Fold the parchment over the chicken, staple, then fold the edges and staple again. You don't have to staple, but I have found this really keeps the folds together better. Bake 25 minutes on a baking sheet.
To serve, cut a slit on top of each packet with scissors and tear to open.
Dinner is served!!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
