Baked Pepperoni Pizza Chicken

May 16, 2019 Amanda Plott

If you’re looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, then look no further! This Baked Pepperoni Pizza Chicken can be prepared ahead of time up until the point of baking, and then tossed in the over just ahead of dinner time. No fuss, no muss. Just easy cheesy chicken!

Keeping things simple and lower in carbs, doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy it. This chicken, while made with just 4 simple ingredients, is full of pizza flavor and is deeeelicious, if I do say so myself. I love pizza. And I love baked chicken. Put the two together? Pizza chicken!…

Healthy Crock Pot Verde Chicken Chili (Legion Chili)

April 29, 2019 Amanda Plott

Ah! Okay, I'm going to reveal something about myself here that I never thought I would so bare with me.

I don't know if you've figured it out yet or not, but I'm sort of a closet nerd. I'm a chic geek to the core, and yet hide it well with what I'd like to think is a very 'normal' exterior. In actuality, I go to renaissance faires (in costume), I've been known to role-play, and yes... I'll even play video games (MMO's mostly). Okay, so really just one in particular, but there are others on my rap sheet as well.

If you're close to me, then you know what that game is. Or if you recognize the name of this chili, then you're probably at least just as guilty as I am. The truth of the matter is, I've been a player in World of Warcraft since it's original vanilla beta back when I was in college. Yep, that's how long this game has been around and in my life. True. Story...

Greek Pita'za

March 29, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s pretty common knowledge that in this house, we have pizza (in one form or another) at least once a week. This time around, I decided to have a little more fun with it than usual. And I even had the aded bonus of having my mini-me chef in the kitchen to help!

As is often the case, I asked my daughter if she wanted to help out with dinner. Surprisingly enough, she actually said yes to me this time! It’s been a long stent of her not wanting to. Good thing I had something simple and easy planned. During these last couple of months ahead of summer, I’m looking for all the hacks on quick and easy eating. And this pita or naan crust pizza is perfect…

Healthified Chicken Noodle Casserole

March 25, 2019 Amanda Plott

We’ve got just over two months of school left this year and I have to say… I’m chomping at the bit to get through with it. I’m in survival mode at this point to get through it and into the footloose and fancy-free days of Summer. However, I’m going to enjoy the tepid Spring weather and getting to use my stove while I still can.

With all of that in mind, now is the perfect time for easy-peasy weeknight dinners. And what’s more easy than a casserole? Or chicken noodle anything? This chicken noodle casserole is an ode to those classic casseroles that most of us grew up with and yet don’t see around anymore. I honestly… have no idea why either. Casseroles are the best…

Crunchy Garlic Baked Chicken

Everyone needs an easy chicken dinner in their back pocket for those busy weeknights, right? This Crunchy Garlic Baked Chicken was one that I picked up years, and years, and years ago. It’s a simple dish that has stood the test of time. Tried and true all the way through.

If you’ve ever had schnitzel, this is soooort of like that. It’s a thin chicken breast that’s coated in flour, egg, and a breadcrumb mixture before being baked to a perfectly crispy and crunchy bite that couldn’t be any more simple…

Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip

February 1, 2019 Amanda Plott

What can I say? I'm a huuuge fan of buffalo flavored anything.

Okay, not anything... but almost!

I think I eat buffalo something for lunch or dinner every week. ...Yeah, that sounds about right.

This skinny buffalo chicken dip is nothing short of amazing. It's super easy and tastes great. Plus, you can cook it up using the crock pot, oven, or even the stove! No one will ever guess that it's lightened up and only about 100 calories per serving.

I found that I didn't have any complaints in serving this with veggies for dipping and I have some picky palates around me!...
