Chicken bacon alfredo

Wow, so here I am, almost a year later...posting, food, recipes!  So much has been happening in the Johnson house, and all for the better!  Although things change, cooking never stops!  With 3 growing boys now in my house, yes I added Matt as growing, don't tell him...he may go on strike from eating my food;). Anyhow....I missed you all and here I am, back at it...first things first...the BLOG...dun dun dahhhhh....here it is!  ENJOY!

Chicken bacon Alfredo!  (Matt's all time favorite)

This meal is not the best for you, but it is one of the best, if that makes sense!  I love eating good fatty home cooked meals!  I'm sorry for all you health nuts...creamy chicken and bacon sounds 550% better than a  garden salad with dressing that tastes like water, and only covers a couple leafs!   

What you need:

Package of chicken( I use stir fry or strips) but breasts will do...men get your mind outta the gutters!

1 cup Alfredo sauce

7 strips cooked bacon (or bacon bits)

Vegi oil. Enough to fry

3 tablespoons mayo

1 tablespoon  parsley

1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese

1 cup Colby cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon basil

1/2 chopped onion

Prepare:

Mix in bowl mayo, bacon, cheese (half) and parsley

Dip chicken in bread crumbs and cook over medium heat until brown

Place chicken in oven safe bowl and spread paste on top of chicken

 Add cooked onion and Poor Alfredo over entire chicken sprinkle with leftover cheese

Cook in oven at  375 for 30 minutes

top with basil

Serve with veggies!  This is a FILLING meal, I suggest veggies or Italian bread!

ENJOY!

Garlic and herb grilled chicken

Good afternoon friends:). I hope everyone is having a nice week so far....or at least surviving monday! I have a tasty maranaid that i mixed up this week...if youre anything like me, you like a little extra taste to your meat, although at times just simple rub of oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper is mighty tasty too:). Anyway...this was used on chicken but my husband matt also thought to try pork...we havent yet so if you do...it was his idea. Personally i like just a plain season salt on mine with some onions, but thats the fun with cooking....you give things a twist of your own idea and if it doesnt work, you send it to your neighbors who just moved in....they will eat anything:).

What you need,
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of veg. Or olive oil
1 large ziplock bag
3 tbs of dry onion or 1/4 of a onion chopped
2 tbs of garlic powder
1 tsp of season salt
1 tbs of pepper
1 tbs of salt
1 tbs of parsley

To prepare,
Mix oil, water and ingredients in bowl
Pour into ziplock
Toss in uncooked chicken and skake together...
For best results let sit in fridge over night, you can also let it stand as little as 40 min. But the longer the better! I put ours in at 9pm and we grilled them at 6 pm the next day!

Grill for about 7 min. Each side or until no longer pink!
Serve with mixed veggies!
Or if you really want you go out you can add cooked linguini noodles and alfredo sauce, add whichever veggies you prefer...cut up cooked chiken and serve!!!

Happy cooking!

Roll out the rolls like a pizza , bake in oven at 375 for 15 min...or until risen...take out and cool....spread warmed up cheese all over dough....


Chop veggies finely....I use a pampered chef chopper....super fast!


Sprinkle veggies on top of pizza....cut into squares and serve. Yum

Shredded beef and onion....SUPER EASY

This takes about 9 hours to cook in the croc pot so start early....:) can you tell I loooooove my croc pot, so easy when you have 2 kiddies running around!

What to do...
Pour beef broth in croc pot....place chuck roast in, cut off any extra fat first....lightly pepper and cover and cook low for 8 hours. Tear apart roast with forks, shredding up. Add packet of onion mix and the pepper, mix and cover for another hour on high.
