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!

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!RIC-BANNER-LOGO-4C_1

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!

Rickard Pairing Chart #CluckTober

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.

Rickard's Beer Can Chicken #chickendotca

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)

Slow cooker beer can chicken #chickendotca

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.

 Slow cooker beer can chicken #chickendotca

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!

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!

On the weekends, if we cook a big roast chicken, there is always leftovers. Using the leftover chicken breast, the Chicken & Egg in Mug is not only quick and easy, my girls are able to make it themselves!

Chicken is a SuperFood! #TwitterParty #ChickenSuperFood #Chickendotca

March 24, 2014 by Wendy S

For the longest time, chicken has always been our “go to” food.  We love chicken!! (probably why me being a Chicken Farmer Ambassador is so easy!)

Now there is really great news about chicken!

Chicken is a SuperFood!

Chicken is a Superfood #ChickenSuperFood #ChickenDotCanRecently, studies have shown that chicken is a SuperFood.  If prepared with the skin on, it is even healthier for you!

[You] can cook your chicken with the skin on, retaining all the moisture and flavour you love, and then remove it prior to serving to achieve essentially the same health benefit as a skinless cut.

That’s right, a breast of chicken cooked with skin-on and then removed actually has less fat and calories than a skinless breast. How is this possible? When the chicken is cooking, the fat in the breast flows out of the meat and becomes trapped in the skin. The skin of the chicken becomes saturated with fat and retains it once it is removed.

Read the whole article on chicken.ca – “New Study Shows How to Cook Healthy Chicken with Skin On”

Beer Can chicken ~ skin on!

With our new knowledge in hand, I gladly made a beer can chicken for the family!  Get the amazing recipe from Chicken.ca.
