Italian Chicken

As one of the meals I had a lot growing up, I find this dish to be nostalgic. Baking the chicken in italian dressing is a simple way to impart flavor into the chicken while also being a fast way to add the flavor. I was able to use the leftover italian dressing from my cucumbers in italian dressing. You can use any cut of chicken you like, I’m just used to either a breast or tenderloins. This dish can easily be made in bulk as well if you have many mouths to feed and stomachs to fill.

  1. Place your chicken in a bowl and cover it with Italian dressing.
  2. Heat the oven to 400 F.
  3. Once heated, transfer the chicken and Italian dressing into a baking dish.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165 F is reached.

Fresh Bacon Chicken Patty

I made extra chicken patties the other day when I made the chicken parm sandwiches, and I had some bacon on hand, so I had to make this beauty. It’s a very simple sandwich, but it’s incredibly filling and the flavor is full while not being fatty or greasy. It would be great for lunch or dinner, and even a great option for a cookout.

  1. Cook chicken patties as recommended on packaging.
  2. Cook bacon to your desired texture.
  3. Toast bread
  4. Layer on toast, chicken patty, a slice of American cheese, a slice of bacon split in half. Add torn lettuce, top with ranch dressing. Add mayo to your top piece of bread, close sandwich and enjoy!

Picnic/Cookout Foods

Happy 4th, even if you don’t celebrate! I’ve been working on this list for a couple days, but as gatherings are being allowed again where I am, and as the summer continues to roll in, I figured it be a good opportunity to get you a list of some summer cookout or picnic foods. I’ve made four categories: main courses, sides, snacks, and desserts. The pictures are also in order as they are listed below!

Cucumber Pasta Salad

This cucumber salad recipe is light and refreshing. By letting the cucumber and onion sit in the vinegar, they get to absorb some of the tartness. However, paired with the pasta and other dressings, you end up with a flavorful and balanced side. It’s also very easy to make and you can easily double or triple it for your next cookout! It even tastes great the next day. I used 1 cup diced cucumbers, 1/4 cup shallots/onion, and 2 cups uncooked rotini.

  1. Dice up 2 small cucumbers, and 2 shallots. Add 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar, stir and set aside.
  2. Bring water in a large sauce pan to a boil. Add 16 oz rotini and cook for 15 minutes. Strain and rinse with cold water.
  3. Add pasta to cucumbers and onion. Add 1 1/4 cup mayo, 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard, and 2 Tbsp Italian dressing. Stir and serve.
