Aldi Butter Chicken Curry Sauce Review

Advertisements

I bought this butter chicken sauce from Aldi about two months ago, and I was just feeling in the mood for some curry and thought it was a great opportunity. This recipe is simple and super fast! This curry is labeled as mild, but it is still spicy and may not be suitable if you/your family can only handle a little spice. Serving this curry over rice is a must, and definitely helps with the heat. This jar makes delicious curry with a few spicy bites mixed in! This recipe makes 5 adult sized servings.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast with Ranch Pasta

Advertisements

Chicken, bacon, and ranch is a very popular flavor combination right now, and I’m also a huge fan of the flavor combination. Sandwiches, salads, or casseroles, that were all good options, but I decided to do a special meal and made bacon wrapped butterflied chicken breast with a homemade ranch pasta side. This meal won’t serve a huge family the way a casserole will, but if you are looking for a special meal that is also very easy to make, this is a great option. This recipe has very little active cooking since most of the time is baking. Also, if you want your chicken to be a bit more brown, broil your chicken breasts for 30 seconds to 1 minute watching carefully to prevent burning! This recipe made 4 adult sized servings.

Orange Chicken

Advertisements

Orange chicken is a great use for any oranges you may get. Savory and acidic and full of flavor, this orange sauce is delicious and makes this dish exciting. If you like heat, feel free to add some chilies, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce. But even without added spice, this dish is full of strong Asian spices. I only diced up one chicken breast when I made this recipe, but you can easily coat two breasts with the sauce that is made. The recipe below makes 6 adult servings if you plate more rice than chicken. If you want the opposite, it would only give about 3-4 adult servings.

French Onion Chicken Noodle Casserole

Advertisements

Casseroles are a great option for larger families and for an easy meal. This recipe was made using packaged ingredients, so there isn’t anything you need to prepare beforehand, unless you would want to make something homemade, such as the chicken or the chicken soup. If you didn’t want to make this on the stove, you could mix the sauce ingredients together, and mix them with the noodles then bake all, covered for about 45 min. I just prefer to make things on the stove top. This recipe is very similar to my tuna noodle recipe as far as ingredients and steps. This recipe was very delicious the way I made it, but the only alteration I made was the addition of a veggie into the dish. If you were to add spinach, broccoli, or green beans, the dish would be a bit more balanced and have less of a heavy milk flavoring, and have a bit more light and healthy flavoring. This recipe makes 6 large adult sized servings.
