Chicken a la King
Comfort food! Comfort food! Do you love comfort food? If you do I’ve got a dish for you. Creamy chicken, crunchy vegetables then ladled on top of cheesy potatoes (or noodles if you like) make for the ultimate comfort food. Make Chicken a la King for your family tonight.
What is best about Chicken a la King is that it doesn’t take too long. Here’s a tip: When I make any type of soup with chicken I usually take a whole large pack of chicken and cook it in a crock pot then freeze the leftovers for when I make recipes like this. Cooking it in the crock pot not only saves time it makes it tender and tasty. Now on to the recipe.
To start chop up the onions, carrots and celery. In a pan heat 2 Tbs butter then add the vegetables and start to sautee. Cook them stirring occasionally until softened, around 6 minutes. To the vegetables add the Tbs of flour then stir until the flour is all combined with the vegetables. This will make a roux to thicken everything up, but here’s the kicker, not too thick. When this goes over the potatoes or noddles you want it to be smooth not clumpy.
Time to add the chicken stock. Again stir everything together and let simmer for around 3 minutes. Now add the shredded chicken.
The last ingredient that makes this so creamy is Cream of Chicken. Add the can to the chicken mixture and heat through or 5 minutes. For this I made some cheesy mashed potatoes. Feel free to put this on top of regular potatoes or noodles. And here you are….

Skillet Sweet Dijon Chicken & Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are just made for Fall aren’t they? The sweetness is perfect in casseroles and is especially good with chicken. This dish is cooked all in one pan so if you are a cast iron lover this Skillet Sweet Dijon Chicken and Potato dish is for you.
Fall for me is easily my favorite time of year. So much so that my husband and I chose it for our wedding. It also doesn’t hurt that we live in a beautiful State that is at it’s peak during Autumn. A few years ago for our anniversary we headed to Traverse City and I have to say that the drive up was just magical. Enough about ‘falling’ in love with Fall and on to the recipe.
This skillet meal is so simple. It starts with chopping the yellow onion and sweet potatoes into cubes. Take 2 chicken breasts and split it down the middle. Season with salt and pepper. In a cast iron skillet heat 1 Tbs of oil. Gently add the chicken and cook for 3 minutes, flip and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. You don’t need to cook through this is just to brown it and crisp the chicken.

I received Steviva Products complimentary but all opinions stated in this post are my own.
Turn off the heat to the skillet. In a small bowl add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard and then the Nectevia with Stevia. Whisk together. Arrange the sweet potatoes and onions around the chicken in the skillet. Finally pour the Dijon sauce over the top of the chicken.
Put the skillet into a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 50 minutes. And here you are….

Street Corn Taquitos
A sweet chicken and corn filling is rolled up in and fried to crispy perfection.
Street Corn Taquitos make a great appetizer or dinner!
Has this Summer been busy! I have been doing so much around the house, we’ve been running around and I haven’t had much time to work on this little blog. Even sadder is it’s been weeks since I’ve celebrated Mitten Movie Night which is probably my favorite of all posts to do on the blog. So let’s rectify that right now and enjoy some Michigan craft beer and these Street Corn Taquitos.
What beer pairs well with Street Corn Taquitos?
The beer: Oval Beach Blonde from Saugatuck Brewing Company
Tonight I am pairing this dish with one of my favorite types of beer, a blonde. This pairs perfectly with the crispy tortillas, the bursts of sweet corn in the filling and the creaminess of the mayo.
What movie pairs well with street corn themed appetizers?
In anticipation of the upcoming Eclipse I want to watch a classic from the 80’s that always freaked me out, Night of the Comet. I know it’s not an eclipse but it is space related phenomena so close enough. Where are you planning on watching the eclipse? The boys and I are going to our local library where they are having a watching party. How exciting!
For the chicken, I cooked mine in the crock pot with some salt & pepper.
How to make shredded chicken?
To shred it I wanted to try something that I saw on Pinterest and guess what, it WORKED! Use a KitchenAid mixer to shred the chicken. I cut the chicken in half, put it into the mixing bowl and turned it on high. Less than 3 minutes later beautifully shredded chicken without the work. Genius!
How to make Street Corn Taquitos:
To the same bowl add the rest of the ingredients for the filling: mayo, cream cheese, sour cream, lime juice, corn, cilantro, cheese, and spices. Stir to combine.
Add enough oil to the bottom of the pan that it will fry these up around 1/2 cup. While the oil heats upstart assembling the taquitos. Place the filling along the longest end, not too much that it spills out. Roll it up.
Once the oil is heated up place the tortilla in seam side down. Fry for 2 minutes, then flip.
Fry for another 2 minutes then place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Work the taquitos in batches of 2-3 depending on the size of your frying pan. Don’t overcrowd or they won’t fry properly.
Serve with sour cream, chopped tomatoes, and lettuce.
And here you are….

Tyler Florence’s Chicken & Sausage Etouffee
Chicken and Sausage Etouffee has spicy andouille sausage, chicken and a simple sauce that comes together to make one spectacular dish.
This Mitten Movie Night is the first in July! Did you have a good 4th? Last week instead of Mitten Movie Night I posted my Best BBQ Sauce recipe for #CookoutWeek. It was an honor to be a part of it.
Tonight I am making a chicken and sausage etouffee recipe that I watched Tyler Florence make on The Food Network years ago when I was just getting into cooking. It sounded great so I made it and have been loving it ever since.
What beer pairs well with Etouffee?
The beer: Bell’s Oberon.
Fun Fact: Oberon’s release is celebrated with ‘Oberon Day’…what a World we live in! Check out all their other release dates here.
What movie is great to pair with spicy food and craft beer?
We are watching What We Do In The Shadows. It came on Netflix and we started watching a little of it then decided to save it for tonight. What I did see was hilarious and I don’t think you can go wrong with a ‘documentary’ about Vampires living together. That’s my kind of humor.
If I described this dish in one word it would be ‘simple’. However, using that word would lead you to believe that the flavor is pretty basic too-nope. Wrong. If you’re looking for an easy meal with lots of flavors this is it.
How to make Chicken & Sausage Etouffee:
Start by chopping the chicken into pieces. Sautee in a pan with a 2 teaspoons of the oil for about 5 minutes.
Chop the sausage then add to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and sausage is crisp.
While the meat is cooking take the pepper, onion, garlic cloves and celery and add to a food processor. Chop items until they are small and well combined.
Remove the cooked chicken and sausage from the pan.
To the same pan add chicken stock and the processed vegetables. Start cooking over medium/high heat.
Add the chicken and sausage back to the pot. Let the stock reduce by half until it makes a smooth sauce.

Wing Sauce Sliders
Crispy chicken is slathered in two different kinds of wing sauce then put on top of soft slider buns and topped with a crunchy Blue Cheese sauce. Wing Sauce Sliders have all the things you love about wings on a slider!
I’ll be upfront right now. And this may make me unpopular but for a long time, I couldn’t even smell Buffalo Wing Sauce. In fact, it’s been over a decade that even looking at the sauce would give me chills. Flashback 2003….my husband had just won Virginia’s Strongest Man. We actually had friends in the area so we went out and celebrated afterward at a local wing place. Well, let’s just say that I ‘Celebrated’ a little too much **insert you shaking your head here because most of us have ‘been there’**.
But I can FINALLY say that after my pregnancy with my youngest my taste buds must have been awakened because I craved spicy stuff constantly and have been on the Wing Sauce bandwagon ever since. I’m like ‘Let’s put it on everything!’ Just like I do with these Wing Sauce Sliders.
Not only have my tastes changed over the years but my entertainment habits have too. Now instead of going out and getting crazy I much prefer staying at home and spending Mitten Movie Nights making a great meal and pairing it with some great beer while watching some great entertainment. Ok, now on to the food!
How to make Wing Sauce Sliders:
First, prepare the chicken. Cut the pieces down to size for as many sliders as you are expecting to prepare. After cutting them into as many pieces as you have buns (I had 12) pound them out with a mallet to thin them out. This helps to tenderize them and you don’t have to cook them as long so they turn out a little juicer.
How to make Wing Sauce Sliders:
Add vegetable oil to the pan. I usually use about 1/2 cup. Bring oil to a temperature that will ‘fry’ the chicken breasts. You can test by adding a little of the dredging mixture and see if it sizzles.
While that is heating up put 1/2 cup flour onto a plate. Dredge the chicken so it is coated on all sides of the chicken. Test to see if oil is hot enough. If it is, add chicken to pan. Cook first side around 6-8 minutes–DO NOT TOUCH IT once it’s in the oil. I’m telling you, you want the crunchy part of this chicken to stay intact because it’s delicious and you will ruin it if you mess with it. Ok, rant over :’)
Flip over (again, only 1 time) and cook another 6-8 minutes. Remove from pan and let drain on paper towel.
While your chicken is cooking make up the sauces to go with these.
How to make Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce:
Mix all the ingredients together in a covered bowl. Once the chicken is cooked take the amount of you want to have the Garlic Parmesan sauce on it and add to bowl with the combined sauce.
Cover & shake. Go ahead and get your arm workout for the day.
For the Buffalo Wing sliders just take some Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce and add it to a covered bowl.
Just like with the Garlic Parmesan sauce shake the daylights out of it until the sauce covers all parts of the chicken.
How to make Blue Cheese & Celery Sauce:
The topper for these sliders is a Blue Cheese Sauce that is a perfect combination with the bite of the cheese, creaminess and then the crunch of the celery. The perfect topping!
Put chicken onto your slider buns. Viola!
Take your sauce & slather it all over the top of your sliders.
Add tomato and lettuce so you get your veggies.
And here you are……

Jalapeno Popper Chicken with Cajun Potatoes
Can you believe it’s already been 2 months since Super Bowl? Geesh! This recipe is an inspiration from a dip that I made for it. Quick Tomato Jalapeno Popper Dip from A Joyfully Mad Kitchen. Earlier that day I was browsing through Pinterest and found this recipe then made a special trip to the store just so I could make it. Worth it! It was just the special treat I was looking for.
While I ate and ate…..and ate on it (I couldn’t stop myself!) I thought about how great this would taste if I used it for the filling in my Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken Roll Ups. Touchdown! I had a winner. Pair it with some potatoes sprinkled with my favorite Cajun seasoning and we have a dinner, Jalapeno Popper Chicken with Cajun Potatoes.
For this Mitten Movie Night we are drinking some Rapunzel from Arcadia Ales and watching Office Christmas Party. I know we are way off on seasons here but we don’t judge! I really love Arcadia Ales and recently paired my Under The Troll Bridge Pasties with their Hopmouth. That was a great meal and so is this one. The fruit and hop combo cannot be beat with the spiciness of this dish.
The chicken and potatoes can be made in two dishes but cooked together to save the guess work. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Starting with chopping the potatoes and onions into bite sized cubes. Drizzle with oil and Cajun seasoning then stir to combine and add to a small greased baking dish.
Thank you again to the Checkered Chef for letting me try out their awesome products!
For the chicken stuffing combine the jalapenos, chilies, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cheese, softened cream cheese and sour cream then stir to combine. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to make 2 equally sized pieces-will make 8 in total. Take a tenderizer with the flat side and pound out the chicken until it’s about 1/2 inch thick. Spread filing on the middle of the chicken then roll. Roll into the chicken coating then place in greased baking dish.
Put both dishes into the preheated over and cook for 45 minutes. Plate, crack open a beer and here you are….

Cream of Chicken Bake
Creamed soups are a hit this time of year. From green bean casserole at Thanksgiving using Cream of Mushroom or turning it into the perfect weeknight comfort food with my Cream of Chicken Bake. Tender chicken and black forest ham is covered and baked in a delicious sauce that is perfect for drizzling over buttery mashed potatoes.
The cooler weather is finally here so that means I can start using my stove again. During the summer months I really give my slow cooker and rice cooker a work out. So I don’t heat up the house we also live on a steady stream of sandwiches, chips and cold sides. Once the air turns cool I am so ready for some serious comfort food and this Cream of Chicken Bake is one of my favorites. Gather your ingredients…..
First take the butter and onions and sautee them. Once cooked put them right back onto the plate with the ham. While cooking the onion combine the flour, garlic powder and oregano to a plate. Split 3 chicken breasts so that they are now between 6-7 pieces.
To the same pan that the onion was cooked melt 2 Tbs. coconut oil. Dredge chicken in flour mixture then add to pan. Turning to brown each side. You will not cook these all the way through, this is just to brown the chicken so cook 2-3 minutes per side only. Add the chicken to a greased dish.
Next it’s time to make the sauce to pour over the chicken. In a bowl put the cream of chicken, milk and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine completely.
On top of the browned chicken in the prepared dish cover with onions and slices of ham. Pour all the sauce over the top. DO NOT add cheese a this time. Cover with tin foil and cook in a preheated 375 degree oven for 30 minutes.
After the dish has cooked from 30 minutes take it out of the oven and add the cheese. Leave the foil off and put back into the oven for an additional 15 minutes. Whip of some potatoes to pour the gravy on top of. And here you are…..

Stuffed Hatch Green Chiles
When Hatch Chile season comes around, make sure you have this Stuffed Hatch Green Chiles recipe on hand. Loaded with cream cheese and chicken stuffing then baked to perfection.
Tonight for Mitten Movie Night I decided to experiment with an ingredient that I’ve been seeing in the stores a lot lately, hatch green chiles.
This isn’t a food that I would normally cook with, actually never had one before, I knew that my husband enjoys jalapeno poppers so the recipe started taking shape in my head. Since these are large I figured they would be perfect for stuffing and I was right. You will really enjoy the mellow flavor of the chile letting the chicken and corn in the stuffing come through.
What beer pairs well with Stuffed Hatch Green Chiles?
The beer: Dirty Blonde from Atwater Brewery.
What should you watch while enjoying a beer and hatch chiles stuffed with cream cheese and chicken?
We’re watching Shameless the start of Season 6. They actually started putting the series on Netflix instant so if you haven’t watched it yet I HIGHLY recommend it. William H. Macy was born to play this roll in my opinion.
This ended up being a very simple meal.
How to make Stuffed Hatch Green Chiles:
Cut your onion and saute in a pan to brown. Set aside and just use the same pan to cook your chicken.
The recipe below calls for 1 pound chicken BUT you could easily use pre-cooked and save some time. I prepared the chicken for these stuffed hatch green chiles just as I did for my blackened chicken green chili enchiladas using Zataran’s Creole Seasoning. Here are the directions again:
Heat oil in the pan then add chicken to it. It is very important to cook the chicken at least 8-10 minutes without turning. This puts the ‘blackened’ portion into the recipe. Once it is cooked flip and cook other side an additional 8-10 minutes.
How to prepare Hatch Green Chiles for stuffing:
Leaving the stem on just cut horizontally down to the tip of the chile. With the split open remove the core and what seeds you can.
Over the sink rinse out the inside of the chile removing the remaining seeds.
Onto a greased baking sheet place the cleaned peppers.
Once the chicken is cooked shred and cut up in smaller pieces.
Add to your cream cheese, half of the shredded cheese, sauteed onion, spices and you’re drained can of corn.
Once the mix is all combined stuff your Chiles with it. I had 6 peppers but this amount of stuffing could have been spread over 8 but I only had 6 and they turned out great overstuffed.
On top of that add the rest of the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Done!
Served with sour cream that had a small amount of Chipotle pepper in it. Maybe add a side of double batch smashed beans.
And here you are……

White Chicken Pizza with Basil & Blackberry Sauce
This easy White Chicken Pizza with Basil & Blackberry Sauce is a great combination of sweet and savory. Perfect for when you’re looking for something different on pizza night!
It’s time for Mitten Movie Night! I’m serving up a creamy, cheesy white chicken pizza with an added sweet twist on top and enjoying one of my favorite Michigan Craft Beers. This pizza makes perfect use of summer grown basil, I know my plant is bursting.
It’s a sweet & savory combination on a homemade pizza crust. While this has a long and fancy name trust me it didn’t take long at all. Best of all it is delicious!
What movie pairs well with craft beer and a white pizza?
We are watching Joy
What beer pairs well with White Chicken Pizza with Basil & Blackberry Sauce?
The beer: Oberon from Bell’s Brewery
If you are even remotely close to Kalamazoo, Michigan it is a must-visit for any craft beer lover.
How to make homemade pizza crust:
Mix yeast, water & honey together. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for 10 minutes. See photo below in the collage to make sure yours has the same consistency.
Now add the flour, honey & salt to the yeast mixture. I do not have a fancy mixer (I want one so bad!) so I had to just hand mix this. Start by stirring with a spatula then complete by hand.
Once it is all combined flip out of the bowl onto a floured surface. Cover with a towel and let sit for 5 minutes.
Uncover and roll your dough out to the size of your pan. Once the dough is on the pan place in the oven at 450 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
How to make White Chicken Pizza:
While the pizza crust is doing its first bake through cut up 1/2 an onion and shred up your chicken if it isn’t already. We get rotisserie chickens from Costco so I cut off about half the chicken to use.
In a pan heat up 1/2 Tbs butter, 1/2 Tbs olive oil and add your onions and chicken. Saute until onions are soft (this will just heat your chicken up since it’s already cooked) around 5 minutes.
When the pizza crust has cooked for 12-14 minutes take it out of the oven and assemble the rest of the ingredients on the top of it. Ricotta cheese, chicken & onions then the Italian Shredded cheese.
Place back into the oven for another 15 minutes.
How to make Basil & Blackberry Sauce:
About 5 minutes before your pizza is out of the oven, add the blackberry preserves and 3 Tbs water to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil letting the preserves breakdown to create a sauce.
Once the pizza is cooked right before serving sprinkle some chopped basil and blackberry sauce on top.

- Start with the crust. Mix yeast, water & honey together. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for 10 minutes. See photo above in the collage to make sure yours has the same consistency.
- Add the flour, honey & salt to the yeast mixture. Start by stirring with a spatula then complete by hand. Once it is all combined flip out of bowl onto a floured surface.
- Cover with towel and let sit for 5 minutes. Uncover and roll your dough out to the size of your pan.
- Once the dough is on the pan place in the oven at 450 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
- While the pizza crust is doing it's first bake through cut up 1/2 an onion and shred up your chicken if it isn't already. In a pan heat up 1/2 Tbs butter, 1/2 Tbs olive oil and add your onions and chicken. Saute until onions are soft around 5 minutes.
- Once your pizza crust has cooked for 12-14 minutes take it out of the oven and assemble the rest of the ingredients on the top of it. Ricotta cheese, chicken & onions then the Italian Shredded cheese. Place back into over for another 15 minutes.
- Right before serving sprinkle some chopped basil and blackberry sauce on top.
- About 5 minutes before your pizza is out of the oven add the blackberry preserves and 3 Tbs water to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil letting the preserves breakdown to create a sauce.
The ‘Un’ Shish Kabob
I love Shish Kabobs. They are so good! And talk about a versatile meal. It can be mixed up any way you like. But let’s be honest, threading the wooden stakes can be a pain. One night I wanted these but did not feel like soaking the stakes, cutting everything up then putting it on the stakes. Smooshing them onto our grill (we use an electric grill) and then cooking them until they were tough because the middle didn’t get completely cooked so I had to keep turning and turning it. No! That is when I came up with the idea for the ‘Un’ Shish Kabob. All the goodness of the original but so easy.
When I make mine I usually choose chicken or a combination of chicken & steak if I can find a good deal on it. Then I always add mushrooms & onions. Always. For my other vegetables I usually do 1 red & 1 green vegetable. For this one I used Brussel sprouts and Roma tomatoes. I really love Brussel sprouts. So gather your ingredients……
I use my broiler pan for this. Now, how often do you think about using your broiler pan? Probably no often. So enjoy this. You may think of other ways to use it now that you’ve got it out. Go ahead and spray it with some Olive Oil spray.
Clean & cut your veggies. I kept my tomatoes whole. After they are cooked they almost ‘burst’ open when you cut into them. Try it, you will love it.
Add the vegetables to the broiler pan. Melt 4 Tbs. of butter. Season them with Salt & Pepper then pour the butter over them.
Now cut up your chicken.
Add your cubed chicken to the other side of the pan. Next you’re going to pour the Italian Dressing over your chicken. This really makes it tangy and gives it a little kick.
Now you are ready to put this into the broiler. While your placing everything onto the pan preheat the broiler. Once everything is on the pan go ahead and pop it in. I set my timer for 8 minutes. When the timer goes off, pull the pan out and turn the chicken and vegetables. Set for another 8 minutes.
During the first 8 minutes of cooking I usually start my ‘Quick Baked Potatoes’. Scrub and cut your potatoes in half. Cover with plastic wrap. When I start the second 8 minute timer I put the potatoes in to cook.
Once the timer goes off for the 2nd time pull the pan out and turn the chicken and vegetables. Check your potatoes. If they easily poke through with a fork your good to go. If they are a little thicker you may have to cook them for another 4-6 minutes. Do not overcook as it will make them hard and inedible.
Set your timer for your last 8 minutes. So you will put these in the broiler for a total of 24 minutes, turning the chicken and vegetables every 8 minutes. They should be all nice and crispy on the edges. Oh yeah, look at this.
Plate up your ‘Un’ Shish Kabobs and potatoes. I love dipping my chicken into Steak Sauce and topping my potatoes with butter and sour cream. And here you are……..
From our home in the Bottom Left of the Mitten to yours ~ Enjoy!
