Chicken Chow Mein

March 9, 2020 by Anna 6 Comments

Chicken Chow Mein is a quick and easy takeout dish you can make at home from scratch. It’s packed with chicken, veggies, noodles and the best sauce ever!

This dish is one of my go-to dinners for busy weeknights, just like my Shrimp Stir Fry or the 10-Minute Garlic Noodles.

Asian stir fry dinners are on our weekly menu and I am happy to add another new recipe to my collection. This Chicken Chow Mein is as easy and quick to make as my other Asian takeout dinner recipes. All you need is chicken, veggies, noodles and basic ingredients for the sauce. Grab a wok or a large skillet and a pot to cook the noodles and you can have dinner ready in under 30 minutes! For a vegetarian chow mein, use 6 to 8 ounces of mushrooms in place of the chicken.

Instant Pot Pot Roast

March 6, 2020 by Anna 78 Comments

This Instant Pot Pot Roast with potatoes and carrots is comfort food at it’s best. The meat is tender, falls apart and the vegetables perfectly soft.

This dish is a family favorite and always a hit, just like my Beef Chili. I always serve it with my Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

When you are thinking of pot roast, you are envisioning a big cut of beef, roasting for hours with carrots and potatoes. Pot roast is a dish made with a tough cut of beef, cooked low and slow to get the meat to a stage when it’s tender and easily shreds. Carrots and potatoes are a classic vegetable company to the pot roast. Now, you can cook a rich and flavorful pot roast in your Instant Pot pressure cooker in a fraction of the time.

Air Fryer Fried Chicken

This Air Fryer Fried Chicken is juicy inside and crispy on the outside. You will love the crunchy coating with Parmesan cheese. It’s a delicious fried chicken dinner made healthier!

I served it with mashed potatoes, creamy coleslaw and sauteed spinach. It was a huge hit!

After the huge success with my chicken nuggets, I wanted to make another chicken recipe. One that you will most likely fry in a lot of oil. Well, forget deep-fat frying! This Air Fryer Fried Chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Marinate the chicken in buttermilk (I am sharing my quick homemade version), then coat in flour, breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese breading with spices. The simple bath in buttermilk helps keep the chicken juicy while air frying. The breading is perfectly seasoned and has a hint of toasted cheese. AMAZING!
