Hummus, Chicken and Avocado Flat Bread recipe and #ChickenApp Twitter Party! #ChickenDotCa

November 14, 2014 by Wendy S

There are some nights were we want a light, easy and fun meal. We like to do Appis for Dinner where we’ll do up a few appetizers and everyone can have a bit of everything.

One of our favourites is the Hummus, Chicken and Avocado Flat Bread. It has only a few ingredients making it easy to make and it’s healthy! Plus the girls like it which is a huge plus!

Hummus, Chicken & Avocado Flat Bread

Serves 3

Chicken meets hummus and avocado in this quick, filling and amazingly delicious baked flat bread. Lean chicken and the chickpeas in the hummus give a good amount of protein to help you stay full longer. The creaminess of the hummus and avocado make it easy not to miss the more traditional cheese often on baked flat bread.

Slow cooker beer can chicken #chickendotca #CluckToberfest

October 20, 2014 by Wendy S

Sundays are Football Sundays in our house!

It’s great to come home from church, put dinner in the slow cooker, then sit back and watch some football!

Oh, I probably should have said…sit back, open a beer and watch some football!

The Chicken Famers teamed up with Rickard’s this month!

I was sent a tasters pack of Rickard’s beers: White, Red, Blond and Dark.

Rickard’s website taught me how to pair beers with some of my favourite foods!

They also have some amazing recipes!

I got a little creative with their Beer Can Chicken recipe and decided to do something similar in my slow cooker.

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken (about 4 lbs)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp pepper
1⁄2 can of your favourite Rickard’s® (I probably used 3/4 of the bottle tho)

I mixed up the ingredients for the rub, rubbed it all over the bird and placed it in the slow cooker.

Very carefully, I poured the beer in the slow cooker making sure I didn’t get any on the bird.

I put the meat thermometer in, put the lid on and set it on high.

See you in a few hours birdy!

All done!

Once the internal temperature of the chicken reached 165 degrees, she was done! It took about 3 hours on high. I don’t like cooking by time alone because the internal temperature for the meat is a much safer way to know that it is correct.

I had to cut it very carefully as it was falling off the bone!

We had it with just asparagus, but this Asparagus & Chicken Salad with Sesame Ginger Dressing would be very yummy with it as well!

Go to chicken.ca to see the full recipe!

How fast is your chicken recipe? #ChickenDotCa

September 30, 2014 by Wendy S

Now that activities are in full swing, there are many nights where we need to get something on the table quickly! We’re eating quickly before heading out the door, between activities or even on the run!

Fast food used to be our crutch, but when we made the choice to live a healthier lifestyle, that isn’t an option any more.

So now our “fast food” is just recipes that don’t take a lot of prep or cook time!

Quick Chicken Pot Pie

This is a family favourite and is really easy with left-over chicken, frozen veggies, canned soup and a pre-made pie crusts! Prepped, cooked and ready to eat in 50 minutes!

Breakfast for Dinner is always a favourite!

Back to school is just around the corner!

My twitter feed is buzzing with back to school sales and some people’s back to school photos! My girls go back after Labour Day so we have just a few weeks to start getting ready. Our back to school shopping will include new clothes and shoes, school supplied and bags.

The girls are very excited!

Me…not so much.

Stop struggling with lunch ideas!

I’m not a fan of making lunches. I find that I sometimes get stuck in a rut and end up making the same old thing, over and over. This year, I’m getting prepared with some great lunch ideas from Chicken.ca!!

My girls love hot meals in their Thermos. They were easy to find too! I went to Chicken.ca and used their “Advanced Search” to find Lunch meal ideas. And there were so many to choose from. Here are a couple that I plan to make.
