Bacon and Cheese Cornbread Recipe

Hola Amigos! For the next couple of weeks it's most likely we will be eating a lot of  corn bread! All kinds of cornbread, some spicy, some sweet, some that are hard as a rock and best fed to the birdies in the yard, corn bead in  stuffing, in muffins you name it! This is my super easy and savory recipe with a twist from all the other corn breads you will have these season.

There is no flour measuring, no creaming of the corn or using the can stuff, just mix a few ingredients, most of them in your pantry at this moment, bake and enjoy.

It has the things my guys love to no end, bacon and cheese! I added the things I love a bit of smokiness spicy and broccoli! I know it's different, but so good!...believe me when I say this was one veggie that wasn't picked out of the plate like it happens almost on regular basis here by my little one

Give this Corn Bread a try and mix in the elements you love the most, if you are not a fan of broccoli, leave it out and substitute it with your favorite one or add corn! This is a very flexible recipe and that's what I love about it, gives you the foundation for you to do it your way and make it your own.

Thank you for your visit today, I hope you include this quick recipe as one of the many holiday dishes you will have this season! Remember my friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,

Lizy

Stuffed Chicken Medallions

Ingredients

4 Boneless Chicken Breast (about 2 lbs)

1 (16 oz) Bag Spinach

1 (16 oz) Container Ricotta Cheese

1 ( 1 oz) Italian Salad Seasoning Mix

1 (2 oz) or 8 slices Pancetta

1 TBSP Butter

3/4 Cup Cream

Parmesan Cheese,

Salt and Pepper to taste.

Directions: 

Heat oven at 350 degrees.

Using a sharp knife, open each of your boneless chicken breast until you get sort of a butterfly out of each one. Between 2 pieces of parchment paper, flatten then a little bit so it's easy for you to stuff them. Set aside.

In a large bowl combine your ricotta cheese, spinach and salad mix. 

Take a flattened chicken breast on to a flat surface,season with some salt and pepper and  place 2 slices of pancetta on it, place some of the cheese and spinach mix, roll it a little bit and using some wooden toothpick pinch the sides together so the stuffing stays in place. Repeat the process with the rest of the chicken breasts.

Place in a bake safe pan and bake covered  for about 30-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked. Remove the chicken from the baking pan and let it rest before cutting it in the shape of medallions. 

To make the sauce, use the pan chicken drippings left on the baking dish. Place them in a small sauce pan with butter and cream, season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a few minutes without letting it boil until it reduces. Remove from heat and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top of the sauce and serve on chicken medallions. Enjoy.

Prep Time: 10 minutes                          Cook Time: 30-40 minutes                    Serves: 4

Loaded Baked Potato Salad

Hola Amigos! It is officially summer in my household today! School is Out , kids are home and mom is about to have an entire season hopefully of "All in 1 meals"...I've been waiting for these sunny and warm days for too long to stay cooped in the house behind the stove. My desire for a sun tan will translate in 1 dish that has everything , protein, carbs and veggies, no sides, no extras, no nothing...just put it in a bowl and if you are lucky you will get a piece of bread to go with it...LOL...tasty bread of course.

Mi first dish of the season is a salad that I'm seeing in every deli around me Loaded Baked Potato Salad. Some good, some O.K., some that I have to go "what a heck, was that"? <----awful! , Thank Goodness for the samples they offer! The way they look it's so deceiving sometimes, potatoes too hard, no seasoning, where is the bacon, where are the potatoes...well you get the idea and I'm sure this has happened to you too.  So,  since I'm tired of trying them all over the place and being disappointed,  I'm making my own. Here it goes:

Loaded "Chicken" Baked Potato Salad

4 potatoes

1 grilled or roasted Chicken Breast, shredded

2 TBSP Unsalted Butter

6 Strips of Cooked Bacon chopped in small pieces

1/2 Cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded. (or your favorite cheese)

1/2 Sour Cream

1/4 Cup Mayo

2 Cooked Eggs, optional

Onion Powder, Salt and Pepper to taste

Cook your potatoes the usual way as you make your potato salad. Diced  them and season  them liberally with onion powder, salt and pepper. It's important to season the potatoes before adding any fat to coat them. 

In a microwave safe container, add butter and heat it up until melted. Drizzle all over the potatoes. Add shredded chicken, sour cream , and mayo. Mix together until all the potatoes and chicken  are covered with the sour cream and mayo. 
Add chopped bacon, mix.
Top it of with a few slices of cooked egg and shredded cheese.
Listo

I'm happy with the results of my 1 dish loaded salad.
It has everything I need and just think that you could use ham, turkey  or no meat at all, but how about broccoli, yummy!

Thank You  for stopping by today. Do you have a Deli dish you love but you think you can make it better to enjoy all the time? Curious minds want to know.

Keep in mind my friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,
Lizy
