Chicken Dishes I've made lately.....

My evenings have been too busy to include "blogging the dinner".... but here are some of the chicken entree's that I've made over the last couple of weeks. If I don't record them here and now, I might forget about them and never go back! I will have to add the full post later. If there is one that you would like, let me know and I'll send you the recipe. My kids just started school again, so we will be getting back into our routines.

Grilled Chicken with Cucumber Melon Salsa served with brown rice and a green vegetable. ***** This dish was fresh and lively... yet fairly simple. Every since my husband and I started eating at a fresh and local Vietmanese restaruant... I have come to love the flavors of lime, mint, and cucumber mixed together. The salsa takes some chopping but it is delicious and healthy... and is good even on or mixed with the rice. I would make it again in an instant.

Zucchini, Corn and Chicken Tostadas, Served with black beans and sliced Melon--***** This is quick, simple and tasty. It reminds me of my favorite mexican chicken soup. The kids ate it up and Jeff and I enjoyed it as well.

Chicken and Butternut Squash in Coconut Milk Broth, Served with Short Grain Basmati Brown Rice, Garlic Bread, Pineapple. **** It is good to have a variety of flavors in your menus... and this dish adds a twist, if your not used to coconut milk and butternut squash. As I've said before... I enjoy coconut milk recipes and this one is a great addition.

Blasamic Chicken with Polenta ***** I've been making this one for years. It is quick, simple, and full of flavor. Serve it with a salad or a green vegetable that is in season.


Chicken and beef sticks with minted quinoa and spinach salad- *****This one was actually made by my friend Lena. She made the Sticks and the quinoa, and I made the big spinach salad and blueberry crisp. It was a delicious back-yard dinner perfect for the swimming party.


Cilantro Rice with Chicken-- *** I love cilantro so I knew that I couldn't go wrong with this dish. I had planned on serving it as a main dish with a vegetable side, but upon finishing it, I realized that it wouldn't satisfy my husband's hunger, so I served it with skillet warmed tortillas, black beans, spinach (needed some more greens=), and sliced melon. Most of us ended up making it into burritos. Still, it was good and I heard no complaints!

Lemon garlic Chicken thighs-- ***This was OK, and it was easy to make. Served with Baked potatoes and a salad.
