Ribs in the Instant Pot

by Rebecca August 29, 2022
written by Rebecca

YIELD: 4-6 servings

Mouthwatering, sticky, tender, and absolutely incredible! You’d want to make these easy Homemade Instant Pot Ribs all year round!

INGREDIENTS

2 racks of baby back ribs (about 4 lbs total)

1 tbsp packed brown sugar

1 tbsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp dry mustard

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 c. barbecue sauce

1 tsp smoked salt, such as this one from Spice House

1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

How To Make Ribs in the Instant Pot

Step 1: In a small bowl, place the brown sugar, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Mix well to make the spice rub and set aside.

Step 2: Take the membrane off the underside of the ribs that covers the bone for super-tender ribs. Lay the ribs, meat-side down. In between the ribs and the thin membrane of the first rack, slide a butter knife. Begin in the middle of the rack and pull up a couple of inches. Then, gently pull the membrane up using your hands and completely off the bones. Do the same for the rest of the rack.

Step 3: Over the ribs on each side and the ends, evenly sprinkle the ribs. Then, gently rub into the ribs.

Step 4: Inside a 6-quart or larger electric pressure cooker, set a steamer or trivet. Pour in 1 c water. On the steamer, place the ribs standing up, gently coiling them in the cooker. Make sure, to begin with, the first rack of ribs on the outside closest to the pot, making a tighter coil inside with the second rack.

Step 5: Secure the pressure cooker and seal the valve. Cook the ribs for 20 minutes on the High manual. Do a quick release of pressure after the timer is up. To a baking sheet, transfer the ribs meaty-side up using tongs.

Step 6: Brush all sides of the ribs with the sauce. Grill or broil the ribs for about 3 to 4 minutes on medium-high heat until some of the sauce is browned and sticky.

Step 7: On a cutting board, transfer the ribs. Into your desired sections, slice between the ribs. Serve right away. Enjoy!

NOTES:

If making ahead, coat the ribs with the dry rub and store them in the fridge overnight. You can also keep the cooked ribs in the fridge for up to 2 days. Make sure to completely cool it first. To reheat, place the ribs in a warm oven or grill on medium-high heat. Then, finish with the sauce.

Place any leftovers in an airtight container, and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Crispy Chicken Fritters

by Rebecca August 27, 2022
written by Rebecca

PREP TIME: 5 mins | COOK TIME: 10 mins | TOTAL TIME: 15 mins | YIELD: 6 pieces

These crispy chicken fritters are a favorite at home. They are easily made using five simple ingredients, and then shape into smaller portions. These super crispy and delicious fritters are inexpensive, incredibly easy and quick to make, and kid-friendly.

INGREDIENTS

Vegetable oil

1 egg

2 12.5-ounce cans of white premium chunk chicken breast

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1/4 c. plain dried bread crumbs

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp dried thyme

Additional bread crumbs

1/2 tsp salt

How to make Crispy Chicken Fritters

Step 1: Start by draining the chicken well. To do this, place the chicken in a colander and drain for a few minutes before pressing a heavy bowl down on the chicken.

Step 2: Then, roughly chop the chicken. For consistent texture, I chop the chicken into about 1/4-inch pieces.

Step 3: Into a mixing bowl, place the chicken, egg, Dijon mustard, salt, and spices. Using a fork, mix the ingredients well before stirring in 1/4 c. bread crumbs.

Step 4: Into a shallow bowl or pie plate, place extra bread crumbs. Into six fritters, portion the chicken mixture and form each into a tight tiny hockey puck. Coat each fritter with additional bread crumbs.

Step 5: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4-inch oil over medium-high heat. Add the fritters to the hot oil and pan-fry until all sides are crispy and golden brown.

Step 6: Serve the crispy chicken fritters right away garnished with some fresh parsley. Enjoy!

NOTES:

I recommend adding a little salt (about 1/4 tsp) at the beginning and adjusting it to suit your taste.

For homemade chicken nuggets or wider, flatter patties, form the mixture into smaller portions.

For this recipe, I use Swanson White Premium Chunk Chicken Breast.

You can swap bread crumbs with panko.

Substitute Dijon with regular mustard.

I have not tried making these fritters in the air fryer. Using cooking spray, spray both sides of the fritters and bake at 400 degrees until golden brown.

by Rebecca August 27, 2022
written by Rebecca

PREP TIME: 15 mins | COOK TIME: 15 mins | TOTAL TIME: 30 mins | SERVINGS: 4

Made in one pot and packed with flavors. This coconut curry chicken is a filling, mouthwatering weeknight dinner option best paired with naan or serve over rice.

INGREDIENTS

3 cloves minced garlic

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1” pieces

2 tablespoons finely minced ginger

2 teaspoons ground-coriander

3 tablespoons red curry paste (I use Thai Kitchen; reduce or increase for your desired spice levels)

1 can full-fat coconut milk NOT lite

2 teaspoons yellow-curry-powder

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 large red-bell-pepper

½ medium yellow-onion

1-2 tablespoons brown sugar

¼ c. cilantro and/or basil, diced

fine sea salt and freshly cracked pepper

3 tablespoons of coconut oil separated

Optional: chopped peanuts or cashews

2 teaspoons fish sauce (optional)

Serve over/with: cooked basmati rice and naan bread with additional lime wedges

How to make Coconut Curry Chicken

Step 1: Prep the ingredients. Start by mincing the garlic and ginger. Then, dice the onion. In long vertical strips, thinly slice the red bell pepper and cut the strips horizontally.

Step 2: In a large, deep skillet, heat 2 tbsp coconut oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion to the skillet and saute for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the onions are beginning to turn golden. Then, add the ginger and garlic. Stir well. Adjust the heat to low and add the red curry pasta along with the curry powder and coriander. Continue to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until aromatic and lightly roasted.

Step 3: Adjust the heat to medium-high. To the skillet, add the rest of the 1 tbsp coconut oil. Stir for a couple of minutes before adding the bite-sized chicken. To taste, season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until both sides of the chicken have browned, but are not cooked.

Step 4: Into the skillet, add the brown sugar, coconut milk, and lime juice. Stir well and cook further until the juices of the chicken run clear (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F) and the curry has slightly thickened. At this point, you can stir in the fish sauce if desired.
Step 5: Remove from the heat when done and serve the coconut curry chicken right away over rice or/with naan bread garnished with basil, cilantro, or crushed cashews/peanuts. If desired, you can serve extra lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!

NOTE:

For a thicker sauce, whisk 1 to 2 tbsp of the sauce with 1 tbsp cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Then, stir this into the curry.

Chicken Parmesan Casserole

by Rebecca August 27, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep time: 40 mins | Cook time: 40 mins | Total time: 1 hr 20 mins | Servings: 5

This Chicken Parmesan Casserole is a delicious casserole that you can easily make using either crispy chicken, frozen chicken tenders, or leftover rotisserie chicken. For an even easier and quicker meal, you can assemble this casserole up to 2 days in advance. When ready to serve, allow this casserole to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature, then bake for about 15 minutes at 375 degrees F, covered. Uncover and bake for additional 25 minutes. You can also keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or freeze and reheat when ready to serve.

Ingredients

2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 eggs

¾ lb rigatoni pasta

32 ounces marinara sauce

3 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded & separated

¾ c. flour

1/3 c. Parmesan cheese, finely grated

1 ½ c. Italian bread crumbs

¾ c. vegetable oil

2 tbsp butter

Fresh Parsley, to garnish

2 tsp seasoned salt

1/4 tsp pepper

How to make Chicken Parmesan Casserole

Step 1: Cook the rigatoni in a pot with boiling water for a minute less than al dente. Drain when done and return the pasta to the pot. Add 32 ounces of sauce, 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese, and 1 c mozzarella. Toss well and set aside.

Step 2: Using paper towels, pat the chicken dry. Slice the chicken into about half an inch thickness.

Step 3: Make an assembly line for the breading: Combine 3/4 c flour with 2 tsp seasoned salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in the first bowl. Whisk the eggs in the second bowl and place 1 1/2 c breadcrumbs in the third bowl.

Step 4: In the flour mixture, dredge the chicken. Then, dip in the whisked eggs and smother the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, making sure the chicken is fully coated.

Step 5: In a pan, add 1/4 inch of oil and butter. Heat over medium-high heat. Into the hot oil, add the chicken strips in batches, and cook for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 6: On a paper towel-lined plate, transfer the cooked chicken strips. Then, into smaller bite-sized pieces, slice the strips.

Step 7: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees. Ready a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Lightly grease and set aside.

Skillet Chicken and Mushroom Wine Sauce

by Rebecca August 27, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 35 mins | Cook Time: 25 mins | Total Time: 1 hr | Yield: 6

This Skillet Chicken and Mushroom Wine Sauce is a very flavorful dish with fork-tender chicken smothered in a delightful mushroom wine sauce. This dish is super easy to whip up and a no-fuss. If you do not want to use wine, you can always swap it with white grape juice or additional chicken broth. Either way, this dish is going to be amazing!

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally into cutlets

½ c. all-purpose flour

½ tsp garlic powder

4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided

2 large shallots, sliced thin

½ c. dry white wine

1 ½ c. chicken broth, low sodium

½ c. heavy cream

1 tsp Dijon mustard

2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp water or broth

12 oz. mushrooms, cleaned and thickly sliced

2 large springs of fresh thyme

½ tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

How to make Skillet Chicken and Mushroom Wine Sauce

Step 1: Using paper towels, pat the chicken breasts dry. In half horizontally, cut each chicken into 2 thinner cutlets. Or you can lay the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.

Step 2: Place the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3: Into a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. In the flour mixture, dredge the chicken cutlets, coating all sides. Shake the excess flour off and place the coated chicken into the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until well browned. Flip and continue to cook the other side for another 3 to 5 minutes. To a plate, transfer the cooked chicken. Tent to keep the chicken warm.

Step 4: In the same pan, add the rest of the 2 tbsp butter and let it melt. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until the first side is very dark. Stir the mushrooms and cook further until the moisture is released and evaporated and the mushrooms are well-browned.

Step 5: To the pan with the mushrooms, add the sliced shallots. Cook until tender and starting to brown. Then, add the minced garlic and saute for about 30 seconds until aromatic. Next, add the wine and deglaze before adding the thyme sprigs, chicken broth, mustard, and cream. Bring everything to a boil and continue to cook for additional 5 minutes. Whisk in the dissolved cornstarch and bring the sauce back to a light simmer. Return the chicken and simmer for 5 minutes more or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is completely warmed. Discard the thyme sprigs. To taste, season with salt and pepper.

Step 6: Serve the Chicken and Mushroom Wine Sauce immediately, garnished with parsley or extra thyme. Enjoy with potatoes, rice, or noodles.
