Chicken with Peppers & Onions in Wine Sauce

 Do you ever get a whiff of something cooking and get a bit a nostalgia thinking of someone? This recipe is one of a few for me that make me think of my Mom. I'm not even sure where this recipe came from but I love it and it always makes me think of my Mom. Plus its colorful and easy to make. It also makes great leftovers to take to work. My colleagues and I always try and make each other envious of our leftover lunches. Its quite a showdown!


Chicken with Peppers & Onions in Wine Sauce
  • 4 boneless, skinless Chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 stick butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  •  3 bell peppers (I like using different colors but any color is fine), cut in cubes or julienne style
  • 1 large onion, cut julienne style
  • 1 bottle sweet white wine (I use a moscato or zinfandel)
  • Rice plus ingredients to make, white or brown is fine but I use white
  1.  Melt butter in skillet, add cubed chicken and saute till cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Pour in the wine. You can pour yourself a glass to drink from this if you'd like. A whole bottle is generous so a glass or two reserved for dinner will not effect your dish's taste.
  3. Add cut up peppers and onions. Cover and reduce heat to simmer till tender.
  4. Cook Rice according to instructions. 
  5. Serve Chicken with Peppers and Onions in Wince Sauce over bed a rice. Enjoy!

 If you need someone to share that extra glass of wine with... I volunteer! =)

Prep+Pared from Kroger - Citrus Garlic Chicken Saute

The past month has included some tough moments for our family. My daughter has had three back to back ear infections. My son had a stomach virus and I've been a basket case worrying about them! Today in life we always seem busy although I'm also very firm on the belief that we make time for the things that are important in our lives. I'm sure we all have those people in our lives that always claim to be so busy but instead of getting continuously frustrated I've realized that apparently we  are not that important to them. Even with all these busy times with my own family including getting my kids well we have always made time for family and the important things. Some of my short cuts during the busy times are easy dinners. I have a few I always keep in my arsenal of grocery and pantry items. Kroger has now introduced an easy and quick option for dinner called Prep+Pared. I've received a ton of coupons in the mail for the mail order dinner subscriptions. I've l...

Flat Iron Steak with Veggie Sauté

Another yummy meal created with the help of Kroger's Prep+Pared meals. This was my husbands favorite. I felt on top of my health game making and eating this meal. The great long term advantage of making these meals are that you get to keep the recipe card that lists the ingredients and the recipe instructions which allows you to easily recreate the meal. I'm most definitely keeping this recipe and plan to make again. My kids ate the steak and the veggies (carrots and cauliflower). For this recipe I added a bit more butter to what was called for and added in some minced garlic when tossing the veggies together. Last week was tough for me when I found out about the news in Santa Fe HS. This hit too close to home and has shaken me to my core. I'm so protective of my children and cannot imagine the pain those families and affected kids are feeling right now. I do not know the answer and I think we as a community have more questions that answers. We live in a scary world o...

Prep+Pared from Kroger - Pan Seared Salmon

Image
Amazing, yummy and super easy!!! This meal prep kits was nothing short of amazing! I was very nervous going into making this meal as I have this fear of cooking fish... That I will under cook or tear up the delicate fish. I should have had more confidence in myself! This meal prep I would definitely purchase again and is totally worth the money. I did not have many of the ingredients so having it all packed together for me was super helpful! At the time of the posting Kroger is selling the Prep+Pared meals for BOGO (Buy one get one free). My first bite!! The whole meal plated! The box it came in.     All the ingredients spread out. I purchased two boxes which are each two servings. So four servings total.  The potato cake mixture. Super fresh and fragrant ingredients. The butter topping for the salmon. Sizzling salmon! Not as hard as I originally thought. Not fishy smelling at all!   Getting the potato cakes in for a little brown...
