Here's one I made for a dinner party on Friday night...easy and delish!

Thin-sliced chicken breasts
Lime juice
2 tbsp Veggie oil
Salt
Pepper
Chives
Dill Weed
1/4 cup butter

Marinade chicken in lime juice for as long as you'd like - I did for about an hour. Heat oil in skillet, add chicken and sprinkle w/ salt and pepper. Brown chicken on both sides until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm. Add butter, lime juice (I didn't measure, probably about 2 tbsp), dill, and chives (sprinkles of each) to the skillet until butter is melted. Return chicken to skillet, reduce heat and saute about 3 minutes. Pour extra sauce over chicken when serving. Enjoy!

Thanks! It's super easy and fast too! I made it in about 10 minutes while our guests were enjoying appetizers and wine. The thin-sliced chicken is the trick!

I only like to use Thin Sliced Chicken

I use it for Everything

I don't cook unless its mix and add....DH is the one that cooks :)

London Broil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup oil
1-2 cloves minced garlic
1-2 teaspoons sugar
Sesame seeds, as desired
3 onions sliced in rings
2lb london broil

Add all ingredients together in plastic bag or dish. Place 2lb london broil on top of ingredients. Place in refrigerator, run. You can marinate from 4 hours to two days. Broil. Put on onions w/soy sauce in pot and simmer for 10 minutes

Yum I love this thread!! Keep em coming!

Lemon Basil Chicken
1/2 cuo white wine vinegar
1/4 cup veg oil
1/4 grey poupon mustard
2 tablespoons dried basil leaves
2 cloves crushed garlic 6 boneless chicken breasts
1 1/2 teaspoon lemon peel
1 teaspoon cornstarch

In small bowl combine vinegar, oil, mustard, basil, garlic and lemon peel until blended. In non-metal dish pour marinade over chicken, cover and chill 1-2 hours.

Drain chicken, reserving marinade, in small sauce pan over medium high heat and blend marinade into cornstarch. cook stirring until thickened. Grill or broil chicken for about 10-15 mintues until done. Turn and brush with marinade occasionally.

ok, you guys are going to laugh at the name of this recipe, but the recipe is in honor of a greek food, and the name is in honor of a restaurant in iraklion and its mutilation of english on their menu I invented it upon returning from our HM, and I swear it tastes like gyro meat. :

BEEFS

1/2 cup greek whole milk yogurt (or sour cream)
1/8-1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
2 large garlic cloves- minced
1 small onion-grated
salt to taste
1.3 lbs ground beefs (aka lean sirloin)

combine first 5 ingredients. Mix in the beefs. Let sit on counter for 15-30 min. Make hamburger patties and fry in a little olive oil until cooked through. Serve with pita, raw onion, tomato, and pita. You can also make tatziki (basically first 4 ingredients + grated cucumber and very little salt) as a condiment. YUM

PS- you can easily make CHICKENS instead. Replace the sirloin meat with ground chicken. The yogurt makes the chicken pleasantly moist when it's cooked

I have a few:

I make this thing called 'No cook pasta' but you still have to cook the pasta....weird, I know (I do this all to eye, so you be the judge of how much you should use of each ingredient)

Box of Penne
10 Plum Tomatoes
Fresh Basil
Garlic Powder
EVOO
Parmesan Cheese

What to do:

Cut tomatoes in small pieces
Cut up about 5 good sized leaves of the Basil

Place those ingrediants in seperate bowl with EVOO & Garlic Powder....let sit for about an hour (don't drown the tomatoes in evoo b/c this will be going into the pasta)

Cook Pasta

Once done cooking......Pour pasta into your serving bowl...then pour tomato,garlic & EVOO mixture on top....and lastly sprinkle the parm. cheese on top, do this while still hot so cheese melts....

(I sprinkle a little salt too but you don't have too)

Serve cold or hot

We always have random bags of veggies from trader joes in the freezer so the other day we had chicken and I made this as a side dish SOOO GOOD and I'm thinking of making it for Thanksgiving instead of the normal green bean casserole

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound green beans, trimmed, washed and cut into 1-inch pieces (if you buy them in the freezer isle, this is done for you already)
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 cup water
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup almonds chopped up (I used my electric chopper)
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

PREPARATION:
Directions for green beans
Combine green beans, onion soup mix, and water. Cook over low heat until green beans are tender. Drain and spoon green beans into serving dish; stir in butter and almonds.

Top green beans with Parmesan cheese.
Green Beans with Parmesan serves 4 to 6.

I love Tader Joe's Frozen veggies!

I made this tonight...........HOLY CRAP IT WAS GOOD: (I would maybe put less fresh garlic:

Braciole- I bought this meat on accident and looked up recipes and made this tonight

Ingredients

1 pound beef, chuck or flank steak, 1/4' thick
1 Tbs parsley, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbs Pecarino-Romano cheese, freshly grated
1 tsp pignoli (pine nuts) (I did not use these, I didn't have any)
salt and pepper to taste
pasta sauce
toothpicks
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup butter

Directions

1 Pound the meat gently, until it is thin.
2 Cut the beef into 3' strips.
3 Mix together the parsley, cheese, garlic, pignoli, salt, and pepper.
4 Spread each slice of beef with the parsley mixture.
5 Heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
6 Roll up each slice and close with a toothpick.
7 Heat the pasta sauce.
8 Brown each braciola in the olive oil.
9 Put the braciole in the pasta sauce.
10 Let simmer for 30 minutes - 1 hour.
11 Serve with pasta as you would meatballs.

We actually ate it w/ out pasta (since FH can't eat pasta) but I made it w/ mozarella and tomatoes & my usualy marinade is

fresh basil- I put it through my chopper
oregano
balsamic vinegar
EVOO
salt & pepper
(i let it sit for about a half hour w/ the tomatoes and mozz.)

The girl who did my calligraphy has a food blog and I came across this recipe she posted the other day that sounds SO YUMMY...I'll have to try this week

Stuffed Southwest Peppers
4 large bell peppers, various colors, boiled for 3-4 minutes each just to soften slightly, tops cut off and reserved, seeds and ribs removed.
yellow spanish saffron rice, cooked according to package directions subbing chicken broth for water. about1 1/2 cups cooked.
1 T. unsalted butter
EVOO
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup salsa
3 jalepeno chicken sausages, chopped (i used TJs pre-cooked, so they only needed to be heated through. if you use uncooked sausage, remove casing and brown in a pan)
1/2 cup shredded cheese
chopped cilantro.



pre-heat oven to 375, flash boil peppers and cook rice. transfer rice to a mixing bowl and peppers to a plate and set aside.

chop up the tops of the bell peppers (not the stems).
melt butter and heat oil together in a heavy skillet over medium high heat.
add onions and chopped bell pepper. season with salt and saute for 3 minutes until softened.
add garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute.
add salsa and jalepeno chicken sausage and continue cooking for a minute or so to heat sausage through.
remove pan from heat and add sausage and onion mixture to rice and stir to combine. add cheese and mix untill cheese is melted.
scoop filling into hollowed out bell peppers and place on a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with pam.
bake for 30 minutes untill top is crispy.
sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve.
