Honey Chicken Kabobs

Hi ladies,
I've been meaning to post this for since July! 
 
Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
2 cloves garlic
5 small onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
2 red bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces
skewers
 
Directions:
 
 
 
 
 
 
1.In a large bowl, whisk together oil, honey, soy sauce, and pepper. Before adding chicken, reserve a small amount of marinade to brush onto kabobs while cooking. Place the chicken, garlic, onions and peppers in the bowl, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours (the longer the better).
2.Preheat the grill for high heat.
3.Drain marinade from the chicken and vegetables, and discard marinade. Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.
4.




 
Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken
juices run clear. Turn and brush with reserved marinade frequently.

Frozen Mamas:

Just thaw and grill!

Philly Cheesesteak Pizzas

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 Italian frying pepper, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound shaved or very thinly sliced beef
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 whole-wheat pocketless pitas or prebaked individual-size pizza crusts
2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend, or a mix of shredded mozzarella, provolone and parmesan
1/2 cup pickled sliced sweet or hot cherry peppers

Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and frying pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, 1 more minute.

Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with foil. Place the pitas on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle each with 1/4 cup cheese. Top evenly with the beef mixture and the remaining 1 cup cheese.

Broil the pizzas until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Top with the cherry peppers and cut each pizza into quarters.

FROZEN MAMAS:
Bag 1: Onions, peppers, garlic
Bag 2: Steak strips
Bag 3: Cheese
Bag 4: Pitas
Tub 1: Cherry peppers
You could probably get away with making this straight from the freezer.  Sautee veggies and steak, then divide between pitas, top with cheese, and cherry peppers if desired, then broil.


Pizza wraps


DIRECTIONS:

  1. Spoon sauce onto a tortilla.
  2. Add cheese and toppings.
  3. Fold like a burrito.
  4. Place on cookie sheet.
  5. Repeat steps to make as many wraps as you'd like
  6. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until hot inside.

I froze after folding them, so you will need to bake them, and sprinkle them with cheese if you desire. put in over 350 with cheese sprinkled over them to cook after thawed. (although I am sure you can do it longer from frozen state!)

Pancetta Chicken Bake

Ingredients:

  • 3 slices of pancetta (1/4 to 1/2 pound)
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 onion, chopped (less if desired)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2-1 cup shredded cheddar or colby cheese

Preparation:

Cook pancetta briefly until crisp in 10" skillet. Crumble pancetta and set aside.
Add butter and olive oil to skillet.
Saute chicken breasts in this mixture over medium heat, turning once, until chicken is almost cooked and just barely pink in center. The internal temperature should be 155 degrees F. This should take 8-10 minutes. Cut chicken into thick slices.  Place chicken in ungreased 8x8" baking dish.
Cook onion and garlic in drippings remaining in skillet. Cook until onion is softened, then stir in salt, pepper, and cooked pancetta. Spoon over chicken breasts and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and cheese is melted.

******************************************************************
From frozen - let thaw in refrigerator and then bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until chicken is throughly cooked and cheese is melted.  **Note** sauce does look separated after baking, but its ohh so yummy. 

Best with mashed potatoes and veggies.
