How to score a big WIN in hosting

Keep it simple and casual. Saturdays are for relaxing even if a big game is on. When hosting, let people kick their feet up and take it easy.
May your food be warm and drinks stay cold! Stock the fridge with Dr Pepper and serve something warm for the main dish.
Snacks galore! Chips, dips, pretzels, peanuts, and a cheese platter set out next to television are a must.
Clean and restock the bathroom. Toilet paper, hand soap, clean hand towels and some air freshener are on the Dollar General shopping list.
Make sure there is seating for everyone. Move the couch, bring in some extra chairs or whatever you need to do to make sure everyone has a comfortable seat.
More snacks. Make sure there is no way the snacks will run dry before the 4th quarter. Overestimate the amount of food and drink you will need and keep the snacks flowing.

The main stop for game day snacks, drinks, cleaning supplies and a few fun decor items is Dollar General for a quick, convenient shopping experience with great prices. I already had chicken in the freezer that just needed to be thawed out so this entire game day meal was a breeze.

When Life Gives You Lemons: Throw a Party and Make Chicken with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce

When Life Gives You Lemons:

Throw a Party

and make Chicken with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce

This post is sponsored by Thyme & Table. All opinions are mine alone. #WhatAGoodThyme

Garlic Chicken with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce is a beautiful entrée made with thinly cut chicken breasts, shallots, and parmesan cheese packed with a punch of lemon and garlic flavor that is perfect for entertaining or a weeknight dinner with the family.

My collection of utensils in the kitchen have some wear- a lot of wear actually and it is long overdue for some kitchen goodies! Thyme & Table’s new product line just launched at Walmart and I felt so inspired to throw a spring themed gathering with friends ad family after receiving this beautiful collection of utensils, gadgets, knives and a cutting board! Spring is finally here and the weather is getting nicer – although it did snow this morning here in Cincinnati but the sunshine is back so I am ready to say good-bye to winter. Let’s celebrate springs arrival!

A great party always has a great theme! ‘When life gives you lemons…’ is the perfect spring theme to infuse a bright spirit in my home and give me all the inspiration needed to create a gorgeous tablescape and amazing menu for all my guests.

When Life Gives You Lemons Tablescape

My favorite part of throwing a dinner party is transforming the dining room! I had so much fun stopping by Walmart to pick up everything I needed to make my guests walk in the room and say, “WOW.” Start your tablescape with a color palette. Lemons are yellow so that was an obvious choice but I also needed another complementary color to make my table pop! Blue and yellow are always a great a combination and have such a cheery affect so blue was the winner! Before shopping at Walmart, look around your house to see what can be utilized in the space already. I was able to pull a wreath, tablecloth, plate chargers, cake stands and a few other items from other rooms in the house to use.

Thyme & Table Winged Corckscrew shown in copper plated stainless steel.

What you need to complete a beautiful tablescape:

Salad and dinner plate for each guest.
Water glass for each guest plus wine glass for those over 21 years old. Place a lemon slice into each water glass for taste and décor.
Silverware set for each guest. I tied a knife, fork, salad fork and spoon into a bundle with some string to also bring in some decoration to each place setting.
Napkins. The blue and plaid napkins were perfect for my theme creating a picnic feel.
Tablecloth and runner. This is optional but it is also the easiest way to brighten up the table with a white tablecloth and blue runner which matches the plaid napkins.
Flowers! Walmart has a flower section with a lot of options for you. I bought some tulips to place in a pitcher on the drink table and carnations to place into jars. To pull in some more yellow, I put lemon slices into the flower jars spread out along the table runner. Wrap a small bow around each jar and you have a beautiful, affordable and colorful centerpiece.
Thyme & Table utensils for each dish you serve with appropriate size bowls or plates.
Take those extra items you found around the house to decorate. I took down a large picture and replaced it with a wreath, set up my beverage server(which I recently found at Walmart) with lemon slices and water, placed cake stands everywhere and then just played with the design. I have a pitcher of flowers on top of a cake stand that is on a tray full of lemons. Think outside the box and layer your items and fill in areas with color! Fresh, whole lemons act as the perfect color filler.
Name cards or a place setting decoration. A little décor on each place setting will go a long way. You can make adorable name cards, place a whole lemon on each plate, use a single fresh cut flower, or a small flower pot with a faux or fresh flowers.

Thyme & Table Winged Corckscrew shown in copper plated stainless steel.

When Life Gives You Lemons Menu

Menu planning can be stressful for a dinner party. My advice is to keep it simple. Pick an entrée, salad, two sides and a dessert. If you feel overwhelmed, ask guests to bring a dish. Nobody will mind throwing together a salad or picking up a dessert before they come over – people like to contribute so just ask for what you need.

Thyme & Table utensils shown including the mini silicone funnel.

When life gives you lemons menu:

Chicken with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce. Recipe card below. Note that the Chicken with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce recipe card serves 4-5. I used two pans and doubled the recipe to feed 10.
Roasted Green Beans with shallots and garlic.
Garlic & Herb Smashed Potatoes.
Spring Salad with strawberries, blueberries, sliced almonds, feta cheese and poppy seed dressing.
Lemon Buttermilk Bundt Cake with a peach lemon glaze.
Wine of choice for those over 21. I recommend a Riesling or Chardonnay and half of a bottle per person.

What else am I loving from the new Thyme & Table line? The copper plated stainless steel everything! From the cheese grater to wine opener to the collection of utensils- they are crazy gorgeous!

I could talk all day about the new Thyme & Table line but we have some dinner party tips and an amazing recipe for Chicken with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce coming up and you don’t want to miss this recipe!

Tips to Make Your Dinner Party a Success

When inviting guests, ask if there are any food allergies so you can plan the menu accordingly.
Set up your tablescape the day before to make sure you have everything needed and to play with the arrangement until it is perfect. Also, make sure to iron the tablecloth and napkins.
Prepare dessert the night before or the morning of party to check a big menu item off the to-do list.
Prep all ingredients a couple hours before party. This includes measuring, chopping, washing produce and more. When dinner comes, you can cook in a clean kitchen more efficiently and quickly leaving you more time with guests.
Before guests arrive, get your beverage station set-up an fill water glasses.

I have been getting a lot of new kitchen toys lately, including this Midea Air Fryer! I have wanted an air fryer for a long time- you can cook potato wedges, fries, chicken wings, our Buttermilk Chicken Bites and so much more in a short amount of time without the extra fat of deep frying (80% less!) but still get that crispiness. You can also bake, roast and even grill. IT. IS. AMAZING.

The Midea MFTN3501 Air Fryer has 1500 watts of circulated heat to cook your favorite party foods with just a pinch of oil while allowing excess fats to fall off. You will notice a slight difference in appearance and taste over deep frying because the foods aren’t soaked in oil. When cooking our Buttermilk Chicken Bites, the chicken was still nice and juicy with that great crispy outside that we all love in fried foods.

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie is a great family meal any day of the week with shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrots, onion, garlic, parsley, potatoes and a pie crust top.

One of my families favorite comfort foods is the pot pie. Maybe it’s the creamy filling or the flaky pie crust. Maybe it’s the combination that always makes this Chicken Pot Pie a huge hit every single time. Pot Pies are surprisingly easy to make and many times, I am able to utilize ingredients that are already on hand. Don’t fret on how many ingredients go into this because they are basics.

The biggest part of getting that nice thick, creamy filling is making the roux at the very beginning. Add your butter to the pan and whisk the flour in. Slowly add in the remaining liquids and that sauce should stay nice and thick.

Feel free to do some swaps in this recipe also to utilize what you have on hand. Mushrooms, celery, turkey, shallots are all great swaps.

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie is a great family meal any day of the week with shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrots, onion, garlic, parsley, potatoes and a pie crust top.

Yields: 10 servings

8.5 ounce can peas, drained
8.75 ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
14.5 ounce chicken broth
4 carrots
1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded (about 2.5 cups shredded)
.5 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup flour
1 large potato (optional)
1/3 onion, white
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
.5 teaspoon pepper
1 pie crust, refrigerated or homemade
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Start with prepping everything. Dice the potato (the smaller the better to cook evenly), slice the carrots, finely dice the onion, chop parsley and open and drain all the cans.
You can use pre-cooked shredded chicken like a rotisserie chicken and leftovers. You can also quickly cook and shred chicken by poaching. To poach your chicken, boil water, drop the chicken in to cook for 15 minutes or until fully cooked. Shreds easily.
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
On the stovetop, on a medium-high heat up the skillet. I use a 10 inch skillet.
Place the butter in with the diced onion, sliced carrots and potato.
Add flour and whisk the melted butter and flour together well.
Slowly add in the chicken broth while whisking.
Add minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes. The broth should be nice and thick.
Stir in heavy cream.
Stir in peas, corn and shredded chicken.
Unroll a refrigerated pie crust and place over skillet. The skillet is hot so be careful (you can also cook the stovetop ingredients in a separate pan and transfer to skillet).
Use an egg wash over the pie crust. Beat one egg with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash. Brush on.
Bake 25 minutes or until the top gets slightly brown.
Remove from oven and let set until cool enough to eat.

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes

This one goes fast! As you can see.

New McCormick Pasta Seasoning Blends take the guesswork out of recipe free cooking. Just add some cooked chicken and crispy bacon with a fresh vegetable to your Mac ‘n’ Cheese and dinner is complete!

Chicken Bacon White Cheddar Pasta

Let’s get cooking our Chicken Bacon White Cheddar Pasta!

Start by chopping the bacon and cook on the stovetop until crispy. Drain the bacon grease and set the cooked bacon to the side while you cook the chicken for 10 minutes each side. Make sure to cover the chicken as it cooks. Let the chicken rest while you cut the bunch of broccoli. Dice the chicken and set to the side. While the chicken is cooking, cook your pasta according to box directions and drain.

I like my broccoli firm so I don’t pre-cook it before placing into the casserole. If you like your broccoli soft, steam the broccoli at this point for a few minutes.

Time to bring everything together in a delicious casserole dish! In the pot used to cook the rotini pasta, place the butter, milk and pasta back in. Stir ingredients well and add in the McCormick White Cheddar Pasta Seasoning. Stir until creamy and toss in the cooked chicken, half of the crispy bacon and the broccoli florets. Stir and pour into a casserole dish.

Melt a bit of butter and mix up the breadcrumbs to sprinkle over the top of the casserole. Toss in the remainder of the bacon and bake for 25 minutes. Dinner is ready!

Chicken Bacon White Cheddar Pasta

Chicken Bacon White Cheddar Pasta made with crispy bacon, chunks of chicken, fresh broccoli, rotini pasta and McCormick White Cheddar Mac ‘n’ Cheese Seasoning baked with a breadcrumb topping.

Chicken Bacon White Cheddar Pasta
1 pound chicken breast, thin cut
16 ounce rotini pasta
1 pound bacon, thick
1 bunch broccoli, florets
16 tablespoons butter, unsalted
1 cup milk
1 cup McCormick White Cheddar Mac 'n' Cheese Seasoning
Bread Crumb Topping
.5 cup bread crumbs
1.5 tablespoons butter, melted

Chop the bacon and place on a medium-high heat on the stovetop. Cook until crispy. Drain fat and place bacon pieces on the side.
Place the pan back on the stovetop on a medium heat. Cook the chicken breast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through and keeping covered. There should be a little bit of bacon grease leftover in the pan so there shouldn't be a need to use any oil at this step.
Chop the chicken once it has sit for 5 minutes and place to the side.
Cut your broccoli florets into bite size pieces. I do not cook my broccoli since we are going to bake everything today and I like my broccoli still hard. If you like broccoli soft, you may steam your broccoli at this time for about 5 minutes.
As the chicken on the stove, cook the pasta in a large pot according to box directions and drain.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In the large pot used to cook the pasta, add 16 tablespoons butter and 1 cup milk. Mix in the pasta now and stir.
Add the 1 cup McCormick White Cheddar Mac 'n' Cheese Seasoning and mix ingredients well.
Stir in the cooked chicken, half of the crispy bacon and broccoli. Place into a casserole dish.
Melt 1.5 tablespoons butter and mix in .5 cup of breadcrumbs. Mix and then sprinkle on top of casserole. Toss on the other half of the bacon.
Bake for 25 minutes.

Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs

Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs marinated with Modelo Negra and Modelo Especial, garlic, soy sauce, onion, brown sugar, and cilantro with fresh bell pepper, zucchini and cherry tomatoes. We are having friends over tonight to grill out, drink some cold beers and play a little soccer. I am looking forward to these beer marinated kabobs that are tender with a pinch of sweetness and garlic.

The secret ingredient for these Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs is Modelo. Chicken kabobs are paired with the Modelo Especial and steak kabobs are paired with the Modelo Negra. The Modelo Especial is a light beer that is well balanced and crisp, which pairs very nicely with chicken. The Modelo Negra is a full flavored dark brew with a smooth taste that adds depth to the steak kabobs. Modelo is brewed with a fighting spirit with high quality and distinctive styles of beer that are perfect for our kabobs today!

Why marinate meat with beer? The most important reason is beer tenderizes the meat. Secondly, you can bring in another dimension of flavor that is more rich and earthy. There is also research out there that supports that beer used in meat marinades can reduce carcinogens, which means reduce your cancer risk. Those are 3 pretty darn good reasons to crack open a beer when marinating meat.

Modelo Especial and Modelo Negra are eaily found on the beer asile in the fridge section. Look for Modelo 12 ounce bottles and cans. Don’t forget the fresh limes!

Follow Modelo on social media:

The husband and I both played soccer when we were younger and are excited for Modelo to have such a big part in the soccer world.

While writing this, I’m reminded of an experience I had vacationing down in Mexico a few years back. USA and Mexico soccer teams were playing a big game against each other so we ventured out to a local bar to drink some cold cervezas while eating great food and watching the game. We had such a great time with the locals cheering on our teams. I can only imagine what it would be like to actually be at a big game like that. Such a blast!

The meat will marinate for 2 hours prior to grilling. You may also marinate overnight if you wish. In two separate bags, add your minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, cilantro, onion and of course, the Modelo. Chop your steak and chicken into large bite sized pieces and add to the bags. Match the chicken with Modelo Especial and steak with the Modelo Negra. However, you can switch around the beer used for the marinades. Use Modelo Especial for both possibly. You are the boss. Do whatever your heart desires.

Vegetables used for these Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs are also up to you. I used green bell pepper, red bell pepper, zucchini and cherry tomatoes today. Onions or mushrooms would be great swaps. Whichever vegetables you pick, chop into large bite size pieces and assemble onto the skewers with the meat.

Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs are pretty simple to make and you can use various vegetables. I have a few tips to making great kabobs.

Use your Modelo marinade for flavor and tenderness.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using…. unless you want the skewers on fire (if using wooden skewers).
Place the chicken kabobs on the grill 5 minutes before the steak kabobs. We want to make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly and juices are running clear. The steak can have a pinch of pink.

Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs

1 pound chicken breast, thin cut
1 pound sirloin
1 small white onion
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce, low sodium
6 ounces Modelo Especial
6 ounces Modelo Negra
4 garlic cloves
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
10 cherry tomatoes
1 zucchini

Wash vegetables and cilantro well.
Dice garlic cloves and chop cilantro and onion.
Grab 2 large Ziploc bags. In each bag, add 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 diced garlic, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 chopped onion, and 1/4 cup cilantro.
Chop your chicken and steak into large bite size cubes. Add chicken into one bag and the steak in the other bag.
Pour 6 ounces of Modelo Especial into the chicken bag.
Pour 6 ounces Modelo Negra into the steak bag.
Place bags in fridge and let marinate for 2 hours.
Place the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. (if using the wooden type)
Chop your red and green bell pepper into large bite sizes pieces.
Slice the zucchini.
Assemble the skewers placing the vegetables between meat layers. Keep the steak and chicken on separate skewers because they have different cook times.
Heat grill to a medium-high heat.
Place the chicken skewers on the grill.
Place the steak skewers on the grill 5 minutes after the chicken.
Rotate every few minutes until chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear. Chicken will have a total cook time of 15 minutes. Steak will have a total cook time of 10 minutes.
Serve with an ice cold Modelo on the side.

Grilled Honey Chicken with Strawberry Salsa

Grilled Honey Chicken with Strawberry Salsa is sweet with a spicy kick. I am really excited to share this recipe with everyone. The dish is bursting with amazing flavors! Plus, it is grilling season so bring on the outdoor recipes, right?

Strawberry Salsa is easy to make and utilizes all fresh ingredients. You can’t beat completely fresh. This recipe is very similar to pineapple salsa from Pork Tacos with Pineapple Salsa. The strawberries give a nice tart flavor that pairs well with the spicy jalapeno and onion. I make my strawberry salsa spicy but if you don’t enjoy spice that much and want it more mild, simply remove the seeds from the jalapeno before chopping up the salsa ingredients.

I just realized that my past few recipes have involved honey. We eat a whole lot of honey in this house and it is one of my favorite ingredients for cooking. Depending on what type of honey you buy, it can various flavor profiles from fruity to nutty. I tend to go with the honey that is on the sweeter side to act as a sweetener in recipes. Plus, the consistency sticks really well to everything. Especially love honey for meat marinades. Try the Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Baked Salmon or the Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Recipe for more recipes using honey that are both great summer recipes.

How to grill chicken. Grilling chicken can be a disaster but it doesn’t have to be. You want to cook on a medium to high heat. The preparation of the chicken and shape is important. Yes, your chicken’s shape is important today. I buy the thinly cut chicken breasts when grilling. You can also choose to use a meat pounder to get the chicken at a consistent thickness. This allows for more even cooking and you aren’t waiting for the thickest portion to cook while the rest dries out. Cook each side for about 7 minutes or until the internal temperature is at 165 degrees.

I love getting those slightly charred bites in mixture of the sweet strawberries and spicy jalapenos this Grilled Honey Chicken with Strawberry Salsa recipe. Such an awesome combination.

Grilled Honey Chicken with Strawberry Salsa

Honey Chicken
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds chicken breasts (thin cut or pounded)
.5 cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
.5 lime
1 tablespoon olive oil
pinch of pepper
Strawberry Salsa
.5 green bell pepper
1 jalapeno
1/4 white onion
1 lime
1 pint strawberries
.5 cup cilantro

Pound the chicken breasts if you need to even out the thickness.
Marinate the chicken. In a large Ziploc bag, add honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, freshly squeezed lime, olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Mix and add the chicken.
Place chicken in fridge to marinate 20 minutes to 2 hours.
Pre heat your grill to a medium high heat.
Prep your strawberry salsa. Finely dice half a green bell pepper, 1/4 of a white onion and 1 jalapeno. Toss into a small mixing bowl.
Dice your strawberries and chop the cilantro. Add to the bowl.
Squeeze 1 lime and give the strawberry salsa a mix.
Cook chicken for 7 minutes on each side.
Remove from grill and top with strawberry salsa.
Enjoy!

5 Tips to Allow Your Dogs to be Part of the Family During Dinnertime {+ Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Wing Recipe}

5 Tips to Allow Your Dogs to be Part of the Family During Dinnertime

+ Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Wing Recipe

With inspiration from Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® DISH, I am sharing with you my 5 Tips to Allow Your Dogs to be Part of the Family During Dinnertime. In my home, dinnertime is often the only time of day where the family is gathered in one room to talk and enjoy each others company. Shouldn’t your fur babies be a part of that time? I am sharing tips to make that possible. I am also sharing a recipe for all us humans for Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Wings with honey, garlic, and hot sauce that is a real crowd pleasure.

My models today are Bella, who is a Chihuahua-Yorkie mix, and Chance, a Boxer-Lab-Beagle-possible some other breed mix. Both of my dogs were adopted. Bella was adopted over 2 years ago and had already been with multiple owners before she came to us. Chance was adopted almost 8 years ago. His litter was dropped off at a local pet store and put up for adoption. We fell in love with those big, droopy eyes immediately. I recently learned about Rachael’s Rescue® through The Rachael Ray Foundation . A portion of proceeds from each sale of Nutrish DISH is donated to The Rachael Ray Foundation. Rachael’s Rescue has donated more than $17.5 million dollars to pet charities and other organizations that do good for animals. Wowza!

5 Tips to Allow Your Dogs to be Part of the Family During Dinnertime:

1. Feed your dogs a quality dinner. Nutrish DISH has real U.S. farm raised chicken or beef as the first ingredient. When purchasing dog food, the most important factor that I look at is if the first ingredient is meat. Avoid corn or wheat. I bought the dogs Nutrish DISH Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe and it filled the factors I look for in dog food. Meat is the first ingredient, has brown rice, carrots, peas, and no corn. The dogs went bananas for it. The more interested the dogs are in their own dinner, the less interest they have in sticking their little noses in your chicken wings.

Nutrish DISH is available nationally and online at chewy.com, amazon.com and jet.com. I picked mine up at Target on the pet aisle in the naturals dog food area. Print the coupon below to save $4 on your purchase of Nutrish DISH through the year. May print 2 times and good in stores only.

2. Create a spot near the family for the dogs to eat. Have an area just for the dogs where the children are not allowed to go and bother them eating. Set up their bowls, maybe some placements under the bowls in case of spills. I have tried over and over again to separate the dogs from one another but they end up on top of each other regardless. Chance eats about 3/4 of his bowl and then lays down to wait for Bella to finish eating and then polishes off all the food. I guess they have it all worked out amongst themselves. The important thing is that nobody is going over to them while eating and the kids aren’t sticking their fingers in the food and disrupting dinnertime. Let the dogs relax in their own space.

3. Train your dogs not to beg. Have a NO begging for food rule for your dog. I hate when we eat dinner at a friends house and I have an army of little dogs climbing up on me while eating. It takes some patience to train your dogs but eventually it all becomes routine. We trained the dogs with a simple “sit” and “stay” command for dinnertime. I save “no” for times I am super serious and they know to stop whatever they are doing immediately. I also have hand gestures for commands so I don’t have to say anything at all to disrupt the meal. I make a fist and then lay my fingers flat out, they know to sit and stay. If you are having a hard time training your dog, try hand gestures with the commands. Sometimes, they respond much better to the visual commands. I just have one for each basic command for sit, stay, lay down, up, and dance. Yes, I said dance. Can’t help myself.

4. Never, ever, ever feed the dogs from your plate. Even if everyone is done eating and you want them to take the last bite as a treat. I know you love them but they do not need it. It is not their food. Don’t allow them to think it is their food. You have them covered already with a quality food, Nutrish DISH.

5. We covered training your dog not to beg or eat from your plate but if you have children you know this isn’t always easy. Teach your children that the dogs have their food, their own spot to eat and that they are not allowed to throw food down to them or disrupt their mealtime. Trust me, I had a heck of a time with both my children teaching them all these things. The kids have tried it all from eating dog food to throwing chocolate at the dogs to teasing them with a slice of pizza. Luckily the dogs are trained well enough that they ignore most of the chaos. Just keep on the training and teaching. Most days don’t cause too much stress but they all have moments.

Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Wing Recipe

Fur babies are fed with 5 Tips to Allow Your Dogs to be Part of the Family During Dinnertime and Nutrish DISH. Now, for the humans! We made a Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Wing Recipe that is a great mix of sweet and spicy. Paired with iced tea and celery. A really simple, quick and affordable dinner that is fantastic with this beautiful spring weather.

Aaron and me had our marital dispute for the week was how to properly prepare chicken wings. Notice the photo above with the circle around the portion of the chicken in question. I always trim these parts off before cooking and my husband does not. He won this argument round since he was the one doing the grilling. Plus, he hasn’t won an argument in awhile so I had to give him a win. Cut that part of or not. Tastes awesome either way.

When grilling chicken wings, add the dry seasonings before cooking and then toss with all the wet ingredients after cooking. I sprinkled some garlic powder, pepper and cayenne to prep. Toss the chicken wings on the grill for 10-12 minutes each side on a medium heat. As the wings cook, prepare your sauce with honey, butter, sriracha, hot sauce and cider vinegar. When the wings come off the grill give them a toss in a large bowl with some sauce added and serve. Serve with celery and iced tea. Oh yeah, bring napkins to the table. Will need napkins.

Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Wing Recipe

3 pounds chicken wings
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup honey
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons sriracha
.5 cup hot sauce of choice
2 teaspoons cider vinegar (optional, I have made them with or without the vinegar)

Trim chicken wings... or not.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne over both sides of chicken wings.
Heat up grill on a medium to high heat.
Toss chicken wings on grill for 10-12 minutes each side. Total of 20-24 minutes cook time.
In a small bowl, add melted butter, sriracha, hot sauce, honey and cider vinegar. Mix well. Today we used Frank's hot sauce.
I like to toss the chicken wings in sauce in groups of about 6 wings. So, add 6 wings to a large bowl, drizzle some of your hot sauce mixture. Give a good toss to coat all the wings.
Serve.

Chicken with Broccoli Tortellini Alfredo

Chicken with Broccoli Tortellini Alfredo made with chicken, cheese filled tortellini, fresh broccoli, and a creamy parmesan packed garlic alfredo sauce.

Pasta is a huge comfort food for me. Any type of pasta from spaghetti to carbonara to tortellini. Add in a great hearty alfredo sauce and I am in food heaven. I am picky about my alredo sauce though. I don’t like it bland or too watery so I made this alfredo sauce with loads of cheese and garlic and used some flour to thicken it slightly.

The broccoli is a nice addition to this dish. the broccoli adds a crispness and freshness to the dish. Plus, the alfredo sauce covers up the vegetable for any picky eaters in the family. We all have at least one of those in the family! Make sure not to cook the broccoli too long. Keep it bright green and crisp. I boiled them in a pot today for 4-5 minutes and they were just right for this dish.

Check out all that creamy goodness! Chicken with Broccoli Tortellini Alfredo is so creamy and delicious. When making your alfredo sauce, don’t be afraid to add in that parmesan and garlic to amp up the flavor factor. I also add in a little cream cheese to the recipe to help create a smooth sauce.

Today, I placed the chicken on the stove top with some extra virgin olive oil to get a nice brown on the outside and keep the juices all inside. Cook for 10 minutes on each side and done. No extra seasoning or anything special is needed. Keep the chicken simple. You can also grill the chicken which would be really nice to add in that hot off the grill charred flavor profile.

Chicken with Broccoli Tortellini Alfredo

2 tablespoons flour (flour is optional, use if you want a thick sauce)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces cream cheese
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1.5 cups shredded parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
.5 teaspoon salt
.5 teaspoon pepper
1 pound cheese tortellini
1 pound chicken breast
2 cups chopped broccoli
1 tablespoon olive oil

Fillet a large chicken breast (about 1 pound) into 2 pieces.
Heat a large pan on medium heat. Add olive oil and chicken breast fillets. Cook for 10 minutes or until the edges are white and flip for another 10 minutes. Cover the chicken with a lid.
As the chicken cooks, boil water in a large pot.
Add broccoli into boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Strain broccoli from water and set to the side.
In your large pot, cook the tortellini according to the package directions and strain.
When the chicken is finished cooking, remove from pan and slice. Keep to the side.
In the pan, make your alfredo sauce. Add the flour and butter and whisk while slowly adding in the heavy cream. Add the cream cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and whisk until thickened and smooth. Add the 1.5 cups parmesan cheese and turn off heat. Whisk well until melted and creamy.
Add the broccoli, chicken slices and tortellini to stir together.
Serve with some extra parmesan cheese if you like.
