Good morning! Nebraska greeted me with a breathtaking winter wonderland today. There’s an enchanting beauty to fresh, untouched snow, isn’t there? I hope you’re snug and safe indoors, enjoying the swirling snow while cooking, creating, and relishing the warmth of home.
Looking for some quick and cozy recipes? I’ve got a selection that require less than six ingredients and hardly any time to whip up. Perfect for embracing the wintry charm from the comfort of your kitchen!
Chicken Nuggets
- 1 lb. chicken breast
- 3 eggs
- 1 Tbsp. milk
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- Cut chicken into around 1 inch pieces.
- Two bowls – one mix eggs and milk; the other Italian bread crumbs.
- Place chicken into egg/milk mixture next place in bread crumbs.
- Place oil in pan, next add chicken pieces…cook until pieces are completely cooked inside.
Chimichurri with Chicken or Fish
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup of finely chopped parsley
- 3-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 small red chilies , or 1 red chili, (I buy- La Costa Chipotles) finely chopped
- 3/4 tsp. dried oregano
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavors into the oil before using.
- Chimichurri can be prepared earlier than needed, and refrigerated for 24 hours, if needed. Serve with chicken or fish.
Crockpot Chili
- 1 pkg. ground beef or ground chicken cooked
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1-can (15oz.) black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1-can (15oz.) pinto beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1-can (15oz.) kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 package of chili spices
- Cook ground beef or ground chicken until brown and drain.
- Put all ingredients in crockpot cook on high heat 20 – 30 minutes.
- Ready to serve when warm.
- Some ideas- I will buy sour dough buns from Panera (around $2.00, make sure you ask them to cut the tops). Another option chili dogs, it is also a favorite of my family.
