Beer Baked Chicken w/ Peppers ‘n Onions

 

 

Beer Baked Chicken with Peppers and Onions

  • 1 1/2 lbs Chicken ( I used breast tenders )
  • 1 c Beer of choice
  • 1 med Onion sliced
  • 1/2 c Bell peppers, sliced
  • 1/4 c Honey
  • 2 T Worcestershire
  • 1 t Garlic, crushd
  • 1 t Chili Powder
  • 1 t Turmeric
  • Pepper to taste

Lay Chicken out in a 9×13 baking dish.  Lay the slices of peppers and onions out over the chicken meat.  Sprinkle with garlic, chili powder, turmeric and pepper.  Pour beer and Worcestershire sauce over top of that. Drizzle with honey.  Bake at 325 degrees for 60-70 min.  We ate this over brown jasmine rice but it is delicious on its own or even atop a bed of spinach or lettuce.

Spicy Southern BBQ Chicken

This recipe I used to make years ago.  I came across the recipe recently and decided to give it a try using organic ingredients instead of  *cough* what I used to make it with. Here is what I did and it turned out quite nicely, definitely a repeater.

     Spicey Southern BBQ Chicken

  • 2 lbs Chicken pieces (I like to use strips of breast meat)
  • 1 med Onion, sliced
  • 1 c  Chicken broth
  • 2 T  Vinegar
  • 2 T  Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 T  Chili powder
  • 2-3 T  Honey, Maple syrup or other natural sweetener of your choice
  • 2 t  Hot pepper flakes
  • Black pepper to taste
  • dash or two of turmeric

Place chicken in a 9×13, then place onion slices over top of the chicken.  In separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and stir well. Pour mixture over chicken and bake at 350 for 1 hour or until cooked thoroughly, basting with mixture occasionally.

Sirloin Steak w/ BBQ

I told you I was a huge BBQ junky, I meant it really.  Yes, I did serve my sirloin steak with BBQ sauce (hubby being a meat love ate his without the BBQ, so feel free to do the same).

Sirloin Steak w/ BBQ sauce

Preheat oven to 375º.  Place steak on cookie sheet.  Pour Worcestershire and garlic powder over steak and bake in oven for about 50 min or until desired done-ness flipping about every 10 min after the first 20.  Remove from oven, cut into serving sized pieces for your family, pour bbq sauce over top of steak.

 

I served mine with broccoli slaw and mashed potatoes.

Salmon Patties

I am not a huge fish fan, BUT I will eat tuna and sometimes salmon.  This salmon patty recipe is one of my favorite ones so far.

      Salmon Patties

  • 14 oz salmon (wild caught)
  • 1 egg (free range)
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs (I save from my fresh milled bread)
  • 1 t worcestershire sauce (use a good quality one with natural ingredients)
  • olive oil for frying

In a bowl mix together all ingredients.  Heat small amount of oil in a skillet on med-low.  Grab golf ball sized amount  of salmon and pat it into a flat patty and place into skillet cook 5-7 min turning once, you just want a nice brown crusting to form on each side.
