BAKED PARMESAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES โ€” ONE PAN, EASY DINNER!

๐Ÿฅ” Ingredients

1ยฝ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1ยฝ lbs potatoes, cut into small cubes
3 tbsp olive oil
ยฝ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
ยฝ tsp salt
ยฝ tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced

๐Ÿณ Instructions

1) Preheat the oven to 400ยฐF. Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.

2) Cut the potatoes into small, even cubes. Toss them with 1ยฝ tablespoons olive oil, half the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3) Spread the potatoes on the pan and bake for 15 minutes.

4) Meanwhile, rub the chicken with the remaining olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, minced garlic, and half the Parmesan.

5) Remove the pan from the oven. Add the chicken beside the potatoes and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over everything.

6) Bake for another 20โ€“25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches 165ยฐF in the thickest part. Cooking time will depend on the size of the chicken breasts.

7) If you want a crispier top, broil for 1โ€“2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.

8) Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then serve with the roasted potatoes.

๐Ÿ’ก Personal Tip

Cut the potatoes small so they finish cooking alongside the chicken. If the chicken breasts are very thick, slice them in half horizontally to help them cook evenly.

Chicken bowls for dinner! This fed 4 teenagers, 1 pr***en, my partner and me, and we still had leftovers! ๐Ÿ™Œ And the best part is everyone loves them!

I made 10 lbs of mashed potatoes ($3.50), 5 lbs of boneless chicken breasts ($10) seasoned with garlic salt, onion powder and pepper, then floured, fried and cut into chunks. I heated up a 2 lb bag of frozen corn ($2) in the microwave and made 4 packets of country gravy ($3).

Layer it up with mashed potatoes first, then gravy, corn and chicken on top. So filling, so good, and the whole meal only cost $18.50! You can't beat a meal that feeds a big family and still leaves leftovers. โค๏ธ

DELICIOUS air fryer cinnamon roll bites! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐ŸคŽ These are so easy to make and perfect when you want something sweet!

Cut your cinnamon rolls into 4 pieces. Put half in the air fryer at 350ยฐ for 3 minutes, flip them over and cook another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the next batch.

Mix 1 cup of sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon, then toss the warm bites in the mixture until coated. That's it! ๐Ÿ™Œ

You can dip them in the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls, or try cream cheese and butter for dipping. YUM! ๐Ÿคค

Had some tomatoes laying around the house, so I decided to make homemade roasted tomato soup! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ… It came out SO delicious and was really cheap to make!

I just roasted tomatoes, onion and garlic with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, dried thyme and dried basil in the oven at 425ยฐ for about an hour. Then blended everything up and added chicken stock. If you want it creamy, add some butter and milk!

Served it with a grilled cheese on the side and you just can't go wrong with homemade soup! ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ Cheap, simple and so good!

Rotel Pasta! ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿง€ Yโ€™all, look at all that cheesy goodness! This is the kind of meal that hits the spot when you want something creamy, flavorful, and filling!

I used ground chuck, onions, bell peppers, pasta noodles, Rotel tomatoes, Velveeta cheese, shredded cheese, and Blanco Velveeta. For seasonings I used seasoned salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, taco seasoning, Slap Ya Mama, and Accent. And donโ€™t forget the heavy whipping cream! ๐Ÿ˜‹

Brown your ground chuck with the onions and bell peppers, season everything up, then add your cooked pasta, Rotel, cheeses, and a splash of heavy whipping cream. Mix it all together until itโ€™s creamy, cheesy, and delicious! โค๏ธ

HOMEMADE TOMATO SOUP WITH GRILLED CHEESE โ€” THE ULTIMATE COMFORT DUO!

๐Ÿ… Ingredients

For the Tomato Soup

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
ยฝ cup milk or heavy cream
1 tbsp butter or olive oil
ยฝ tsp sugar, optional
ยฝ tsp salt, or to taste
ยผ tsp black pepper

For the Grilled Cheese

4 slices sandwich bread
4 slices cheddar cheese
2 tbsp butter, softened

๐Ÿณ Instructions

1) Melt the butter or heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4โ€“5 minutes until softened.

2) Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, broth, salt, pepper, and sugar if using.

3) Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 15โ€“20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4) Carefully blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender, or let it cool slightly before blending in batches.

5) Stir in the milk or cream and warm gently over low heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

6) Butter one side of each bread slice. Place cheddar between two slices with the buttered sides facing outward.

7) Cook the sandwiches in a skillet over medium-low heat for 3โ€“4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden and the cheese melts.

8) Slice the grilled cheese and serve alongside the warm tomato soup.

๐Ÿ’ก Personal Tip

Use canned crushed tomatoes to keep this recipe affordable and easy year-round. Cook the grilled cheese over medium-low heat so the bread turns golden while the cheese melts fully.

We all love crockpot meals and this one was a HIT! ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ So easy and everything came out delicious!

I used 3 chicken breasts, red potatoes and fresh green beans, with a bed of onion and fresh garlic underneath. Seasoned the chicken, potatoes and green beans with seasoned meat tenderizer and garlic powder, then placed everything on top of the onion and garlic.

Drizzled with olive oil and melted butter, then sprinkled half a packet of zesty Italian seasoning mix and one regular Italian seasoning packet over everything.

Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. That's it! A simple meal with chicken, potatoes and green beans all in one pot. Gotta love an easy crockpot dinner! ๐Ÿฅ”๐Ÿ—

Seen this on here and had to give it a try! ๐Ÿ˜‹ I added bacon and green onions and boy was it yummy! Definitely making these again!

I peeled and sliced 6 potatoes, seasoned both sides with salt and pepper, then brushed them with oil. Put them in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with nonstick foil for easy cleanup. Baked at 400ยฐ for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Then I cooked and chopped up some bacon, sprinkled it over the potatoes, added mozzarella cheese, and put them back in the oven on broil until the cheese was golden and bubbly. Keep an eye on them because they brown FAST! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Finished them off with green onions and served with sour cream. Yโ€™all, these are so good! ๐Ÿฅ”๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿง€

Sooo goood! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿฅ“ Bacon-wrapped asparagus is always a good idea! Just wrap the asparagus in bacon, pop it in the oven at 375ยฐ for about 40 minutes, and drain the grease halfway through. So simple and soooo yummy! ๐Ÿคค

An easy and delicious little โ€œstir fryโ€ I make! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿœ I used beef ramen, frozen stir fry veggies, frozen shrimp scampi, mushrooms and soy sauce.

I cooked the ramen, veggies and shrimp scampi separately, then mixed everything together. Sautรฉed some mushrooms, tossed those in with a little soy sauce to finish it off, and that's it! So easy and full of flavor. Perfect when you want something good without doing too much! โค๏ธ
