Sun Dried Tomato and Bacon Chicken

My sister in law Summer was the one to find this great recipe.  Simple, quick and flavorful, my kind of meal.  Like my brother Eric, Mike really liked this as well.  Summer did suggest marinating the chicken in the dressing for a while before cooking it, I would agree.
 I forgot to do that step so mine was only in the marinate for an hour, but the longer the better.  Thanks Summer for a great recipe!



Sun-dried Tomato and Bacon Chicken 

Ingredients :
2 slices (1/2 ounce) bacon
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato vinaigrette dressing (I used 1/2 -3/4 cup)
4 (1 pound) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tomatoes, chopped
About 1/4 Cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped up.
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Cook bacon in a large pan until crisp and drain on paper towel.

Add chicken to large pan and brown on each side for about 2 minutes on regular heat.

Pour sun-dried tomato dressing over chicken and sprinkle with basil. Continue to cook chicken for 8 minutes or until done.

Remove chicken; place on serving dish and keep warm. Save the remaining dressing in the pan and add the chopped tomatoes to the pan cooking until heated through. Stir in the bacon.

Pour tomato mixture onto chicken and top with Parmesan cheese.

6*If you have time marinate your chicken breasts for 4-6 hours in the sun-dried tomato dressing. This will let the flavors infuse the chicken even more.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!

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!
