I thought it might be good to share some of the recipes I tried from other sources recently, without modifications, that I found to be really great.  You should give some of them a try too!

Baked Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wings from Steamykitchen.com.  These were awesome, amazing yummy goodness and I can totally understand why she made them one of her favorite recipes.

Chicken with Shallot-Apricot Sauce from CheapHealthyGood This ended up being really good - something a little different with a savory bite from the balsamic vinegar.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic from whiteonricecouple.com.  If you've never been into Brussels sprouts before, you haven't tried these.  Tangy from the balsamic, and super-easy.  These will definitely become a staple in my recipe book!

Golden-Crusted Brussels Sprouts from 101cookbooks.com,
I had some leftover Brussels Sprouts from the recipe before and on the spur-of-the-moment, trying to come up with a veggie to go with dinner tried this out.  They were pretty awesome too! Hubby liked these better and I liked the balsamic ones better.  Try them both and let me know what you think!

What do you think of this kind of post? Interesting? Helpful? Should I keep doing these?

Veggie/Chicken Skillet Dinner

Adapted from Skillet Veggie & Feta Tacos at GreenLiteBites.com:

This turned out pretty well, although it was a little wet - I think a bit too much moisture in all the veggies. I used a slotted spoon to take it out of the skillet and it turned out fine, but next time maybe drain a bit while cooking.

This made enough for dinner for the two of us and lunch for both of us tomorrow.

Ingredients:

•  3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 zucchini
• 1 yellow squash
• About 1/2 pint of grape tomatoes 
• 4 oz mushrooms
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tsp Chopped Garlic
• 1 tsp Fresh Basil
• 1 tsp Fresh Oregano
• Feta cheese to sprinkle on top

1. In a skillet, saute the chicken chunks in the olive oil about 4 minutes or until cooked through.
2. Add the onion to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes without stirring.
3. Add the garlic and the rest of the veggies to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, stir to cover.
4. Cover and cook for 2 minutes without stirring.
5. Add the basil and oregano to the skillet, stir to distribute flavor. Cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until squashes are cooked through.
6. Dish out onto a plate and sprinkle each serving with feta cheese and enjoy!
