by Rebecca June 21, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep time: 20 mins | Cook time: 30 mins | Total time: 50 mins | Servings: 20 bars

These naked bars will surely knock you off your feet! A five-star dessert that you can easily and quickly make using simple ingredients. These are the best caramel bars I’ve made with a delightful layer of gooey caramel with a tinge of peanut butter. It is an insanely amazing, addictive treat that will have everyone coming back in seconds! I suggest that you whip up a big batch because these knock-you-naked bars are gone in a blink!

INGREDIENTS

Bars:

2 eggs

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon salt

Caramel Sauce:

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 bag of 14-ounces caramels

5 ounces evaporated milk

How to make Knock You Naked Bars

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees. Ready a 9 x 13-inch pan. Grease and set aside.

Step 2: In a small bowl, mix the flour with baking soda and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Then, add the eggs, a piece at a time, beating well after each addition. Next, slowly stir in the flour mixture and fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 3: Into the prepared pan, spread half of the cookie dough. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven when done.

Step 4: In the meantime, melt the caramels and evaporated milk in a double boiler. Once the caramels are melted, add the peanut butter and let it melt completely. Spread this over the cookie dough base.

Step 5: Drop the rest of the cookie dough by spoonfuls over the caramel mixture.

Step 6: Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.

Ingredients

Parmesan Crusted Chicken:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, (2 large), patted dry with paper towels

1/2 lemon, sliced for garnish (optional)

1 tablespoon parsley, to garnish (optional)

Egg Mixture:

1 garlic clove, minced

2 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Parmesan Breading Mixture:

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 c. Parmesan cheese, grated

Lemon Butter Sauce:

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 c. lemon juice

8 tablespoons unsalted butter

How to make Lemon Chicken with BEST Lemon Butter Sauce

Step 1: In half lengthwise, cut the chicken breasts. Using a meat mallet, lightly pound the chicken to even thickness.

The chicken is done when the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Decrease the heat if the chicken browns very quickly.

Step 4: In the meantime, melt the butter in another pan. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic to the pan and cook until aromatic. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Season with pepper. Let the sauce cook for about 2 minutes.

Step 5: Over the cooked chicken, pour the sauce, and toss to coat well. If desired, garnish the lemon chicken with a lemon butter sauce with slices of lemon and some finely chopped parsley. Enjoy!

written by Rebecca

PREP TIME: 10 MINS | COOK TIME: 15 MINS | TOTAL TIME: 55 MINS | SERVINGS: 4 people

This Greek chicken with lemon and feta is chock full of flavor. The chicken is marinated for a few minutes to allow the flavors to sink in before searing them to golden perfection. The marinade is an easy combination of simple ingredients (lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs). Before serving the chicken, drizzle them with a little of the marinade and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and feta cheese. Serve this scrumptious Greek chicken with lemon and feta over a bed of salad or buttery rice (or quinoa) for an easy, quick, and filling meal that your entire family will ask for again and again!

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. of thin-sliced chicken breast

¼ c. extra virgin olive oil

3 garlic cloves, finely minced, or 1 teaspoon dried garlic powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon coarse black pepper

1 lemon, juiced and zested

½ teaspoon + a pinch of sea salt

GARNISH:

Additional wedges of lemon

¼ c. feta cheese

¼ c. fresh chopped parsley

How to make Greek Chicken with Lemon and Feta

Step 1: Add the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, garlic, and all of the spices to a large mixing bowl. Mix well until blended and emulsified. Reserve 1/4 c of the marinade.

Step 2: To the rest of the marinade, add the chicken. Using tongs, toss the chicken to make sure each cutlet is completely coated. Using saran wrap, tent the bowl and keep it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to marinate the chicken.

Flip the chicken and continue to sear the chicken for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until the middle of the chicken is white and the juices run clear.
