Who else LOVES the beginning of a new year when you're gung-ho about your new year's resolutions?? Try 15 new recipes and blog about them?? Yes please!!
The temperatures are dropping like crazy around here and that is a great excuse to bust out the slow cooker - for not one night, but two!
Thank you Facebook community for sharing with me some delicious looking 3-ingredient recipes including this gem "Crock Pot Salsa Verde Chicken" which was YUM-O (is that the right term?)! Last night we were impressed with how the salsa verde added such flavor with just enough kick - so good! More importantly... so easy to make!! We did not add the cilantro (didn't have it on hand) and I served it over white rice... today I had the chicken in a wrap for lunch - again, so good!! We will make this one again... maybe as tacos next time... and I do think we would benefit from adding some veggies.
After dinner last night I prepped another pound of chicken for tonights feast "Parmesan Garlic Chicken with Orzo" - this was the first time I've ever made orzo... so that was fun! The prep last night was wicked easy - I didn't want to open white wine so I went with some water and lemon juice... not sure how much of a difference that made but I don't think much? This morning was super easy to pop the marinating chicken into the slow cooker - relatively hands off until it was time to make the orzo and we sautéed some broccoli & cauliflower. This dish was good but not as YUM-O as last night's... I think that may be due to the fact that Mike and I both love our spices. I'd eat this one again but I'm not putting it on the top of the list as a must-make-again like the salsa verde one.
Any way you look at it - we're eating well this week. As the temperatures drop I'm looking forward to our warm healthy eats!
