Spicy chicken

So I do not eat red meat, I have not eaten it since I was a kid. I am forever looking for another recipe that I can make chicken and make it taste so yummy. So I recently saw a recipe for Spicy Dr pepper ribs going around on Facebook it came from http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2014/02/spicy-dr-pepper-ribs/


So I took this and tried it with chicken this is my version of it



Spicy Dr Pepper sauce
1 can of cherry Dr pepper
1 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup mustard
2 tablespoon mince garlic
1/4 cup hot sauce


Take everything and put in a sauce pan and cook till reduced about 20 mins or so. Also my husband and father in law like it hot so I also added a tablespoon of crushed red peppers.
now once this is done place in fridge to get cool.


I take chicken breast and place them on a well greased pan and then brush with the sauce. Because you are working with raw meat make sure you are placing the sauce into 2 separate bowls one for extra for dipping and one for the raw meat. Cook at 350 for about 30-45 mins OMG it turns out so tender.



I hope you enjoy Happy eating!!!

Everyone loves Eggs.....

So I grew up in a home where we have to cut a lot of corners to afford things. I loved it because we got very creative on a lot of things. Well when we could afford it my mom would make me egg rolls, so here is my version of egg rolls that I love making anytime I can and it seems like my friends and family love them just as equally.



My Meat Egg rolls


1 pound of ground meat (beef, chicken or turkey)
1 medium bag of slaw mixture (this is cheaper and faster then buying and shredding all the veggies)
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup of water
1 medium onion diced
garlic, pepper and salt to taste
1 package egg roll wrappers
oil for frying



Grab a big pot and cook the ground meat and the onion on medium high heat. Once cooked all the way add the slaw mixture and hoisin and water place a lid and reduce heat to low heat the steam from the water will cook the veggies to perfection. Then take off heat and let cool its easier to work with the meat mixture when its not hot. Once cool to handle place spoon or so in egg roll wrappers and use  water or egg to seal such. Then fry to golden brown!!!! Be careful though coming right out of the hot oil will be very hot to eat.



I hope enjoy and your family enjoys too!
Happy eating!!!
