Are you looking for another way to feed the crowd on game nights? Well, these Rotisserie Chicken Tacos are a great choice! It is easy and quick to make and guarantees to make everyone come back in seconds!

INGREDIENTS

1 small rotisserie chicken, meat removed from the bones (you’ll want about 1½ lbs. of picked chicken meat)

2 c. salsa (you can use homemade or any of your favorite jarred salsa)

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp chili powder

½ tsp coriander

1 tsp ground cumin

6 tbsp vegetable oil

12 white or yellow 6-inch corn tortillas

4 c. shredded iceberg lettuce

8 oz. pepper jack cheese, shredded

8 oz. Monterey jack cheese, shredded

1 c. water

Toppings:

Avocado wedges

Sliced black olives

Thinly sliced red onion

Sour cream

Fresh cilantro

Lime juice

Sliced pickled jalapenos

How to make Easy Rotisserie Chicken Tacos

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 450 degrees F.

Step 2: Ready a roasting pan with high sides that can hold 12 completed folded tacos. Or use 2 pans with 6 folded tacos each.

Step 3: Place the salsa, water, and tomato paste in a large skillet. Stir and cook over medium heat. Then, stir in the coriander, chili powder, and cumin.

Step 4: Into the salsa mixture, shred the cooked chicken pieces and continue to cook until heated. When done, keep the chicken mixture warm.

Step 5: With half of the oil, brush two sheet pans. Onto the pans, lay our 6 tortillas each, and brush the tops with the remaining oil.

Step 6: Between the 12 tortillas, divide the pepper jack. Next, divide the warm chicken mixture and place it on top of the pepper jack.

Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges begin to get slightly crispy and the mixture is hot and bubbly. Halfway through even browning, rotate the pans.

Step 8: Take the pans out of the oven and immediately top with half of the lettuce. Fold one tortilla in half and transfer to the reserved dish/pan. Repeat until the tortillas are folded. Lean each taco next to the other so they stay folded. Then, turn the oven off.

Step 9: Top 12 folded tacos with Monterey Jack cheese and return in the oven (while it is turned off) for about 4 to 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

Step 10: Serve the tacos, hot with your preferred toppings such as sliced back olives, pickled jalapenos, thinly sliced red onion, avocado wedges, sour cream, lime juice, fresh cilantro, etc. Enjoy!

Crispy Chicken Burger with Honey Mustard Coleslaw

by Rebecca May 25, 2022
written by Rebecca

PREP TIME: 20 MINS | COOK TIME: 15 MINS | TOTAL TIME: 35 MINS | SERVINGS: 4 burgers

I am obsessed with this crispy chicken burger! Crispy chicken tenders with honey mustard coleslaw, jalapenos, and crunchy lettuce sandwiched on a toasted brioche bun. I’m never making chicken burgers another way ever again!

INGREDIENTS

Chicken Marinade:

240 ml (1 c.) buttermilk

¼ teaspoon garlic salt

3 large chicken breasts – sliced into long, thick strips

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon white pepper

Crispy Chicken Coating:

1 teaspoon baking powder

180 grams (1 ½ c.) plain (all-purpose) flour

½ teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon celery salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon chili flakes

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Honey Mustard Coleslaw:

4 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon honey

⅓ white cabbage

1 medium carrot – peeled

pinch black pepper

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Additional:

1-2 jalapenos – sliced

vegetable oil – for deep frying

4 brioche buns – toasted

4 slices of Gouda cheese – I used the ready-sliced kind, or you can slice it yourself

½ red onion – peeled and thinly sliced

8 pieces of crunchy lettuce – I used the ‘O’ so sweet’ variety – but Romaine or Little Gem is great too

How to make Crispy Chicken Burger with Honey Mustard Coleslaw

Step 1: In a bowl, place the chicken. Then, add the buttermilk, salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Stir well. Tent the bowl and place it in the fridge for at least an hour up to overnight to marinate the chicken.

Step 2: Prepare the oven and preheat it to low.

Step 3: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan until hot. Make sure that the pan is more than one-third full. For this, you need around 4 cups (1 liter) of oil.

Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk the crispy coating ingredients. Remove the chicken from the fridge and lift a piece of chicken out, letting the excess drip off. Then, place the chicken in the crispy coating mixture, coating it on all sides. On a tray, lay the chicken. Do the same with the rest of the chicken.

Step 5: Add about 5 to 6 of the chicken tenders to the hot oil and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until the middle is cooked and the chicken is golden brown. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan. In the oven, pop the chicken to keep them warm while you finish cooking the remaining chicken.

Step 6: Julienne the cabbage and carrot using a mandoline. Alternately, you can just slice them thinly by hand. In a bowl with mayonnaise, mustard, honey, lemon juice, and black pepper, place the thinly sliced cabbage and carrot. Mix well. Tent the bowl and place the coleslaw in the fridge until needed.

Step 7: To assemble: Into four piles, arrange the chicken tenders. On top, place the Gouda. You can grill the chicken tenders or keep them in the warm oven for a few minutes until the cheese just melted.

Step 8: On four plates, place the bottom of the brioche buns and top with lettuce leaves, then with the cheesy chicken pieces. On top of the chicken, spoon the coleslaw and sprinkle with slices of red onion and jalapeno. On top, place the top buns. Enjoy!

Garlic Cheese Toast

by Rebecca May 25, 2022
written by Rebecca

PREP TIME: 5 MINS | COOK TIME: 8 MINS | TOTAL TIME: 13 MINS | SERVINGS: 10

These amazing garlic cheese toast are a staple at my house. All I need are simple ingredients to make this cheesy and garlicky toast. For the cheese, I use whatever I have on hand, but always make sure to include one variety with bold flavor like Parmesan.

Easily make this garlic cheese toast either in the oven under the broiler or on the grill. You can even use this same recipe to whip up a loaf of cheesy bread. Try dipping the toast in different rich and savory sauces. Also, pair it up with steaks and chicken for a meal to remember!

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ c. + 2 tbsp salted butter, softened, divided

10 slices of thick white bread slightly dry

½ c. cheddar cheese, shredded

¼ c. Parmesan cheese, shredded

¼ c. Monterey jack cheese

salt & pepper to taste

How to make Garlic, Cheese Toast

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F.

Step 2: Spread 2 tbsp butter on one side of the bread pieces. On a baking sheet, place the pieces of bread, and butter-side down.

Step 3: In a food processor, place the rest of the butter, garlic, and cheeses. Pulse until incorporated.

Step 4: On the unbuttered side of the bread pieces, spread the mixture. On the middle rack of the preheated oven, place the baking sheet and bake the bread pieces for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted. If you want to brown the cheese, set the oven to broil for 30 to 60 seconds.

Notes:

You can also use a hand mixer instead of a food processor.

For this recipe, you are welcome to use any combination of cheese you’d like. For best results, make sure to use one cheese with bold flavors such as Parmesan.

To make a loaf of cheesy bread, this can be spread on French bread, too.

written by Rebecca

This casserole saves my life more than I can count! It’s my go-to for a last-minute dinner and my family’s favorite. It’s made with a few simple ingredients that you might already have sitting in your fridge. Throw this together easily and quickly, and enjoy a filling and scrumptious weeknight meal that your entire family (even your guests) will enjoy! Very comforting and great all year round!

Ingredients

3 c. thinly sliced potatoes (around 5 potatoes)

1 pound lean ground beef or venison

1/4 c. milk or cream

1 onion, chopped

1/2 c. stock (any kind)

1 1/2 c. cream of mushroom soup (I had leftover homemade soup in the fridge), or 1 can of cream of mushroom soup (which might make it not gluten-free)

1 1/2 c. shredded cheese

1 teaspoon each of any of these: garlic powder, paprika, or go more savory with rosemary (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

How to make Meat and Potato Casserole

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, ready an 11 x 7-inch glass baking dish. Lightly grease and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the onions and ground meat in a medium frying pan until done. Then, add any of the seasonings and pepper. Drain the excess grease.

Step 3: Place the soup, stock, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well until blended.

Step 4: Into the baking dish, layer half of the potatoes. On top, pour some sauce and sprinkle with half of the meat followed by the cheese. Do the same layers with the remaining potatoes, soup, meat, and then the cheese.

Step 5: Tent the baking dish with lightly greased aluminium foil. Place in the preheated oven and bake the casserole for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the potatoes are tender.

This impressive broccoli-rice casserole is my favorite and go-to side dish for every occasion. The perfect casserole that you can easily and quickly whip up all year round using just a few simple ingredients. Creamy, cheesy, and incredibly delicious casserole. A flavorful, very comforting dish that would not disappoint. This is no doubt a must and surely for keeping!

INGREDIENTS

3 cups cooked rice (about 1 cup uncooked)

1 (10 3/4 ounces) can cream of mushroom soup

1 small onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 (16 ounces) package of frozen broccoli florets

2 cups shredded mild or medium cheddar cheese, divided

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

HOW TO MAKE BROCCOLI-RICE CASSEROLE

Step 1: After thawing the broccoli, warm it in the microwave for approximately 5 minutes. Drain well. Into smaller, bite-sized pieces, cut any large florets.

Step 2: Place the warm cooked rice, onion, cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and 1 c of the shredded cheddar in a bowl. Mix well until blended, then fold in the broccoli.

Step 3: Into the greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish, spoon the broccoli mixture and top with the rest of the 1 c shredded cheddar cheese. Place in the oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees F or until bubbly and the cheese is just starting to get some golden-brown spots.

If desired, you can use frozen chopped broccoli in place of florets.

Prep this casserole in advance. In the casserole dish, place the broccoli mixture, top with cheese, and keep in the fridge until ready to bake. When ready to serve, bake for 60 to 75 minutes at 350 degrees F. Partway through baking, loosely cover the casserole with foil if the cheese starts to brown too much.
