Chicken Enchiladas – Budget-Friendly Recipe
These creamy chicken enchiladas are a weeknight dinner staple at our house. I often make them when we have leftover chicken from another meal. Okay, confession time … I buy and cook extra chicken when it’s on sale to have for additional meals, including this chicken enchilada bake. [zrdn-recipe id=”67″] I love that I’m able […]
Continue readingChicken ala King
Chicken ala king seems fancy, especially when served over puff pastry. But here’s the thing, it’s actually a pretty easy recipe. If you don’t feel like puff pastry, serve it over rice. We had this every year for Christmas at my grandmother’s house. She’d buy these fancy puff pastry shells, bake them up and spoon […]
Continue readingInstant Pot Curry Chicken
I’m back with another family favorite as of late. This instant pot curry chicken dish comes together in a snap. It’s a great recipe if you’re new to instant pot and pressure cooking. There aren’t a lot of ingredients and no complicated instructions. It’s also a great introduction to using the saute function on your […]
Continue readingSkillet Chicken Teriyaki Recipe
Do you spend a lot of money on takeout? We used to get Chinese food quite a bit and it didn’t take long for those little splurges to add up. I decided to do something about it by coming up with my own “Asian-inspired” recipes that were frugal and homemade. This skillet chicken teriyaki recipe […]
Continue readingChicken Cacciatore
We eat a lot of chicken around here. When I’m ready to switch things up and prepare my favorite cuts (legs and thighs) a little differently than fried or covered and baked in barbecue sauce, I often make up a batch of chicken cacciatore. This is an old dish that’s been around for centuries. As […]
Continue readingGluten Free Sesame Chicken
I’ve been on a quest for the perfect gluten free sesame chicken recipe. My husband had been suffering from migraines for years. We’ve finally figured out that going gluten-free almost completely eliminates them. As a result, I’ve been playing around with a lot of gluten-free dishes. One thing we missed was the occasional Chinese take-out. […]
Continue readingCurried Chicken
Here’s a fresh take on leftover chicken. We love roasting whole chickens or putting a large batch of chicken on the grill. Either way we usually end up with plenty of leftovers. Chicken salad is great, but sometimes you’re in the mood for something a little different – and need a quick and easy dinner […]
Continue readingOven Barbecued Chicken
Are you looking for something quick and easy to fix for dinner? I’ve got you covered. We love this recipe. The chicken is delicious for dinner, but also makes for great leftovers. You can also do the same thing with thin pork chops. Just as tasty and easy to make. 3 pounds chicken legs &/OR […]
Continue readingLemon-Peppered Chicken
This simple dish is easy enough to make on a weeknight, but pretty enough for company. Cook the chicken quartered to get it done faster, or cook up the whole bird for a pretty presentation. Personally I prefer mine quartered. This makes quite a bit of chicken. I serve it with rice and vegetables the […]

Some days you just need to curl up with a nice bowl of comfort food. And is there anything better than chicken and dumplings? Sure, it’s nice to make everything completely from scratch and I do that quite a bit. But there are also days that you know you’ll be busy or are just not […]
Continue readingCreamed Chicken
Creamed chicken is such an easy and versatile dish (as you’ll see in a minute). It’s a staple around here. I serve it plain over noodles, rice or toast. If you have some leftover veggies sitting in the fridge, add them to the mix toward the end. Or use one of the 7 variations of […]
Continue readingChicken Pot Pie
Good o’l fashioned chicken pot pie is always a favorite around here. And if you make it from scratch, it’s a very frugal meal. Get the cheapest cut of chicken you can and just cook it. I like getting a whole chicken, cook it in the crockpot and then use some of the meat for […]
Continue readingSweet and Spicy Chicken Thighs
Chicken thighs are on sale at my local grocery store this week. In the past I’ve cooked them with just a little oil and seasoning salt, but I was looking for something a little different this week. I came across this video and thought I’d share. And here’s the recipe. With a dish like this […]

Last week I shared a quick & easy recipe from Tracy over at Moms In A Blog and mentioned she’s writing a sweet little Kindle ebook called Cooking from the Pantry: The Busy Mom’s Guide to Creating Fabulous No-Fuss Meals in 30 Minutes or Less. The recipes are so tasty that I wanted to share […]
Continue readingChicken Coconut Curry
This is quite delicious. It isn’t exactly an authentic coconut curry because it doesn’t use expensive, hard-to-find curry paste. It is a close copy though, and I bet you’ll be wowed by how good and how cheap it is. 2 tablespoons oil 1 tablespoon curry powder 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 3 pounds chicken pieces, […]
