Today was a rainy, dreary day. The kind of day that just begs for something to warm you up from the inside; and nothing warms you up better than chili!So I decided to make a basic ground turkey chili. Hope it warms your hearts! Enjoy! : )

Ingredients:

2 pounds of ground turkey beef
2 onions chopped
4 cloves of garlic minced
2 tablespoons of chili powder
2 teaspoons of salt
2 teaspoons of dried oregano
4  (14.5 ounce) cans of stewed tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans with the liquid
Sharp Cheddar Cheese to taste

Procedure:


Combine ground turkey, onion and garlic in a large stockpot. Cook and stir over medium heat until meat is brown. Drain.



Stir in chili powder, salt, oregano, tomatoes and tomato sauce; break up tomatoes while stirring it. Heats to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for one hour.

Parmesan Chicken



It’s been a long time since I last made this recipe.  So I decided today was a very good day to make it. I love cheese and in this recipe I use mozzarella cheese, which my hubby and I love! I hope you guys enjoy it too! Have a nice weekend!

Ingredients:
8 Chicken breast tenderloins
All purpose flour for breading
Salt (to taste)
2 – 4 Tablespoons of Olive oil
Tomato sauce of your choice
Mozzarella cheese

Procedure:


Put the meat between two pieces of parchment paper.


 Smash the tenderloins with a skillet. 


The breast will be skinny.


Sprinkle the salt on the meat. 


Heat the olive oil in the pan at medium temperature. 


Bread the meat with the all purpose flour.   


Put the meat on the pan until it has a golden color. 


Put the meat on a plate lined with paper towels. 


Once they’ve drained the excess oil pass the breasts into a glass container. 


Drizzle the tomato sauce over the chicken. 


Add the mozzarella cheese. 


Put in on the oven. And broil until the cheese has browned. 


Now,  serve... 


and ENJOY!!!  :)

Chicken Lasagna Rolls



Remember those amazing looking chicken lasagna rolls sitting next to the sweet dinner rolls? Well, today I’ll give you guys the recipe. That night I wanted to do something different for my husband and what goes better with those rolls than lasagna? It was late and I really didn’t want to do all the work required for lasagna… so I decided to make lasagna rolls instead. It’s the first time I attempted it, but I think it went pretty good. My husband loved it. Hope you guys enjoy them too! Let me know if you try it!
Ingredients:



For the chicken:
4 chicken breasts (cut in to cubes)
1 onion
1 sweet green pepper
½ teaspoon of salt
1 clove of garlic
4 whole tomatoes
Olive oil (to taste)
1 Tablespoon of unsalted butter
½ teaspoon of fresh oregano
½ teaspoon of fresh basil
½ teaspoon of green onions
½ cup of grated Romano cheese

For the rolls:
6 lasagna sheets
1 cup of mozzarella cheese
½ cup Parmesan cheese
½ cup of Romano
Tomato sauce (to taste)

 Procedure:


Put olive oil on the pan and wait until it's hot. Add the onion, green peppers and garlic.



Add the unsalted butter.




Let it cook until you see the onion is translucent.




Add the chicken.




Cut the whole tomatoes.



Add the tomatoes to the chicken.



 Meanwhile shred the Romano cheese.




Add the herbs to the chicken.




 Add the cheese. Mix everything and let it cook.




Tear the chicken until it's fine. (My husband did it for me and he used a potato masher, instead of tearing it.)




 The end result should look like this.




This is what I used to fill the rolls.




Lasagna "sheet"




Chicken filling




Add the mozzarella




Add the Romano cheese.




Roll the lasagna with the filling. Put it in the pan sheet.




 You should have 6 rolls.




 
 Add your favorite tomato sauce to taste.



Add cheese on top of the rolls and put it in the oven @ 350 degrees until you see that the cheese has melted.

ENJOY!!!
