Thai Chicken Dinner

December 23, 2018 by Good Living Guide. This post may contain affiliate links. Leave a Comment

Instead of ordering takeout, I much prefer making this Thai Chicken Dinner at home. It’s a healthy meal with simple ingredients and the result is tender, moist and sticky chicken thighs packed with delicious flavor!

Thai Chicken Dinner

Ingredients

8 chicken thighs
1 bunch asparagus
1 bag baby carrots
1 bag broccoli
1 cup ketchup
1 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp garlic chopped
1/4 cup green onions
2 tbsp sesame seeds
PAM Cooking Spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and garlic until combined.
Set the sauce mixture aside.
Chop up the asparagus and place in a large bowl with the broccoli and carrots.
Toss 1/4 cup sauce in with the veggies until coated.
Spray baking dish with PAM spray and pour veggies in the dish.
Place the chicken thighs on top of the veggies.
Brush the remaining sauce on the chicken with a BBQ brush until all covered. Sprinkle a little bit of sesame seeds on top.
Place in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
At 35 minutes check the chicken and if its not crunchy on top, pull off the chicken and place on a cookie sheet.
Add more sauce to the chicken.
Turn the oven to low broil, and then place the chicken back in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Once the chicken is to your desired crispiness, take out of the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!

Copycat Starbucks Banana Walnut Bread

Nothing says home like the smell of banana bread in the air…..and this Copycat Starbucks Banana Walnut Bread is my favorite of them all. It’s super moist and tender and the walnuts add the perfect crunch!

We highly recommend using ripe or even brown bananas…..because the riper the bananas, the sweeter and better the bread will taste.

Copycat Starbucks Banana Nut Bread

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup ripe bananas mashed
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp milk
1 egg
1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Sprinkle some flour in a loaf pan and swirl it around to coat evenly.
In a medium sized bowl add your flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until combined.
In another small bowl, add the egg, sugar and vegetable oil. Mix until combined.
Add the dry mixture to the egg mixture and stir until well blended.
Add the milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas into your mix. Combine until well incorporated.
Chop the walnuts into small pieces and fold 1/2 cup into your batter.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Top with remaining walnuts.
Bake for 60-80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Let cool to room temperature, then remove from the loaf pan.
Enjoy!

Sheet Pan Jambalaya

This Sheet Pan Jambalaya is chock-full of bold, zesty, Creole flavors that everyone will love. I made it for a family reunion recently, and everyone was going back for seconds and thirds.

What is Sheet Pan Jambalaya?

Jambalaya is an exceptionally popular dish that has French and Spanish influence. It consists of meat, rice and vegetables and, let’s be real—it’s straight up comfort food!

I agree with Mark Twain when he said, “New Orleans food is as delicious as the less criminal forms of sin.”

Olive Garden Copycat Fonduta

May 8, 2017 by Good Living Guide. This post may contain affiliate links. 1 Comment

This Olive Garden Copycat Fonduta is my favorite appetizer of all time. You just can’t beat baked gooey cheese served with toasted Italian bread!

The recipe calls for just regular mozzarella and provolone cheese. It’s a personal preference, but I like to use smoked versions of these cheeses. Just a hint of that smokiness can make a big difference in taste!

In a large bowl, combine the sour cream with the mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.

Mix together and then pour into the prepared cast iron skillet.

Bake for 15 minutes, until the mixture is melted and bubbly. If you’d like the top extra browned, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, but make sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

Garnish with diced tomatoes and parsley. Bake the bread slices for 5 minutes then serve immediately.

Olive Garden Copycat Fonduta

Ingredients

1 cup sour cream fat free
8 oz mozzarella cheese shredded
8 oz provolone cheese shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese finely shredded
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 roma tomatoes diced
2 tbsp parsley finely chopped
1-2 loaves Italian bread cut into slices

Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 450F.
In a large bowl, combine the sour cream with the mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Spray a medium-size cast iron dish with Pam Cooking Spray.
Pour the mixture into the prepared cast iron dish.
Bake for 15 minutes, until the mixture is melted and bubbly. If you’d like the top extra browned, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, but make sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
Garnish with diced tomatoes and parsley.
Bake the bread slices for 5 minutes then serve immediately.
