Photo Credit pedrosala/iStock/Getty Images Baked chicken breasts with barbecue sauce are a simple main course you can cook quickly and easily, for a large gathering or a small family meal. For the healthiest preparation, use skinless chicken breasts. The fat in the skin keep the meat moist when cooked alone, but it isn't needed if you cover the chicken with barbecue sauce. Also, use homemade or no-sugar-added barbecue sauce when possible. Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 F. Step 2 Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Step 3 Brush with the barbecue sauce. Step 4 Sprinkle with sea salt or kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Step 5 Spray the bottom of a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the dish, leaving about a 1/2 of space between each. Step 6 Bake on the middle rack, without opening the oven door, for 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads at least 165 F when inserted halfway into the thickest part of a breast. ############################################################################################################################################################################################ Lemon Butter Chicken Breasts Ingredients 6 medium boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 pounds) 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning 1/3 cup butter 2 lemons, sliced 2 tablespoons lemon juice Hot cooked rice or pilaf (optional) Directions Place each chicken breast half between two pieces of plastic wrap.

One of the secrets to a moist, delicious, and beautiful turkey is spreading butter under the skin. You can season the butter any way you want; the possibilities are endless." Ingredients 2 tablespoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning 1 (12 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets reserved 2 onions, coarsely chopped 3 ribs celery, coarsely chopped 2 carrots, coarsely chopped 3 sprigs fresh rosemary 1/2 bunch fresh sage 1/2 cup butter 1 bay leaf 6 cups water 2 tablespoons turkey fat 1 tablespoon butter 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 3 cups turkey pan drippings 1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional) 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage salt and ground black pepper to taste Directions Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Mix 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper, and poultry seasoning in a small bowl. Tuck turkey wings under the bird, and season cavity with about 1 tablespoon of the poultry seasoning mixture. Reserve remaining poultry seasoning mix. Toss the onion, celery, and carrots together in a bowl. Stuff about 1/2 cup of the vegetable mixture, rosemary sprigs, and 1/2 bunch sage into the cavity of the turkey. Tie legs together with kitchen string. Loosen the skin on top of the turkey breast using fingers or a small spatula. Place about 2 tablespoons butter under the skin and spread evenly. Spread the remaining butter (about 2 tablespoons) all over the outside of the skin. Sprinkle the outside of the turkey with the remaining poultry seasoning mix. Spread the remaining onion, celery, and carrots into a large roasting pan. Place the turkey on top of the vegetables. Fill the pan with about 1/2 inch of water. Arrange a sheet of aluminum foil over the breast of the turkey. Roast the turkey in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 3 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Remove the foil during the last hour of cooking. Baste the turkey with the pan juices. While the turkey is roasting, make stock: place neck, heart, and gizzards in a saucepan with the bay leaf and water. Simmer over medium heat for 2 hours. Strain the turkey giblets from the stock, and discard giblets. There should be at least 4 cups of stock. Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Pour the pan juices, about 3 cups, into a saucepan and set aside. Skim off the turkey fat from the pan juices, reserving about 2 tablespoons. Heat 2 tablespoons of the turkey fat and 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Transfer the onion from the roasting pan into the skillet. Cook and stir until the onion is browned, about 5 minutes, then stir in the flour. Continue to cook and stir for about 5 minutes more; whisk in 4 cups of the skimmed turkey stock and the reserved pan juices until smooth; skim off any foam. Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Simmer until the gravy is thickened, whisking constantly, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped sage, and season to taste with salt and black pepper. #####################################################################################################################3 Honey Glazed Ham Honey Glazed Ham Rated as 4.67 out of 5 Stars Prep 20 m Cook 1 h 15 m Ready In 1 h 35 m Recipe By:Colleen "This ham tastes very much like the famous honey baked ham but costs much less, and there's no need to fight the crowds at holiday time.

They are a great source of fiber, protein, iron and much more. They are very easy to prepare. If you are not familiar with or have not yet made these a staple, I encourage you to get started now. You'll be pleased you did! This is my recipe for red lentil soup I made last night. For under $2.50, this recipe makes six servings. Ingredients 1/2 cup red lentils (30¢) 1 large or 2 medium onions (31¢) 2-4 cloves of garlic (11¢) 1 carrot (16¢) 1 potato (15¢) 1 stalk of celery (16¢) 1 can of diced tomatoes (97¢) 1/2 to 1 tsp red pepper flakes 1 to 2 tsp of salt 1 to 2 tbsp of oil (15¢) 2 cups of water Instructions Rinse the red lentils in cold water until clear. (If you have extra time, then let the lentils sit in cold water for 30 minutes to soak - this softens them up and reduces cooking time.) Dice onions. Mince garlic. Finely slice celery. Combine and set aside. Wash (and optionally peel) carrot and potato. Shred or dice carrot and potato. Heat oil in pot. Add red pepper flakes and sauté for about two minutes. Keep stirring. Add onions, garlic and celery and sauté until softened; about three to four minutes. Keep stirring. Add carrots and potato and sauté until softened; about three to four minutes if you shredded the veggies and longer if diced. Keep stirring. Add can of tomatoes. Add red lentils and water. Stir to combine. Turn heat on high until boiling. Reduce heat, cover pot and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add salt and stir. Optional: I like a smooth soup so I give it a whizz with an immersion blender. Then I add half a package of frozen spinach (defrosted and heated in microwave while soup is cooking, extra cost is 50¢) and combine. Enjoy your soup! Eat on it's own or serve with rice or bread. There will be leftovers (which will taste even better the next day!).

Then repeat with the remaining 4 eggs. Turn off the processor and take a spatula and scrape the walls and bottom edges of the processor bowl to make sure that no large chunks are stuck and it is well mixed. Turn processor back on and slowly add soften coconut butter (manana), and sea salt. Turn it on again and let the added ingredients incorporate. When it's well mixed (about 1/2 a minute), pour the lemon juice down the chute and then the baking soda. Mix for a few more seconds. Place the batter in a greased (I use coconut oil) bread pan(s). Bake at 350' for 35 minutes. (Shorten the baking time when using the doughnut or mini challah pan.) When it's cool enough to handle, remove it from the bread pan and let it completely cool on a cake rack. Both are beyond delicious and when I really want bread, these hit the spot!

SCALE 1x 2x 3x INGREDIENTS 1 medium red onion, sliced 1/4″ thick (I love using my mandoline) 3/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon kosher salt INSTRUCTIONS Place the sliced onions in a No Crumbs Left Marinated Onion Bowl. (I highly recommend getting a Marinated Onion Bowl! Holds the onions perfectly, has a pour spout so you can easily pour the onion marinade, and is such a gorgeous piece of pottery!) In a measuring cup, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano and salt. Stir to combine. Pour the marinade over the onions. All the onions should be covered. Let it sit on your counter for at least 12 hours. Will keep for at least 5 days on the counter. NOTES I don’t recommend storing these in the refrigerator. The oil solidifies. If you’re getting past the 5 days, you could store in a mason jar and refrigerate. You’ll just have to bring them to room temperature when you want to eat them again. These are really best with red onions, but you could use a yellow onion if that’s all you have. Dried oregano is much better than fresh oregano for these onions You don’t want to reuse the marinade. It gets too potent of an onion flavor. You’ll want to start with a fresh marinade each time you make them. ########################################################################################################################################### 8/14/2020 Broccoli Salad Recipe | Trisha Yearwood | Food Network https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/trisha-yearwood/broccoli-salad-2065359 1/1 Ingredients: 1 2 3 4 Directions: Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook over medium heat just until crisp; drain on paper towels.

Prep Time10 mins freezing time10 mins Total Time20 mins Course: Snack Cuisine: American Servings: 12 servings (4 chocolate squares) Calories: 81.2kcal Author: Carine Claudepierre Ingredients 4.5 oz Cocoa Butter 1 tablespoon Sugar-free Powdered Sweetener powdered erythrtitol or allulose 1/2 teaspoon Chocoate-flavored Stevia Drops or vanilla stevia drops 1/4 teaspoon Salt 1.4 oz Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (1/3 cup) Instructions Place 2 chocolate bar silicone molds on a flat board or plate. I recommend placing a piece of parchment paper between the mold and the plate. This prevents the silicone mold from sticking to the plate when you freeze the bar later in the recipe. Set aside. In a small saucepan, under medium heat, melt the cocoa butter. When fully melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in stevia drops, powdered sweetener (not crystal! you don't want bits in your chocolate), and salt. Return to medium heat until cocoa butter slightly boils and reaches 250°F (121°C), it's the temperature at which the erythritol will dissolve and prevents a gritty texture in your chocolate. Remove from heat and stir in unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir quickly and immediately transfer the liquid into the 2 silicone mold to fill them up to the top. Working quickly prevents the cocoa powder and cocoa butter from separating and creates the most consistent bars. Freeze 10 minutes or until the chocolate bars are hard and fully set Remove from the freezer, flip over the chocolate mold onto a flat surface and peel off the mold from the bar to release. Store the chocolate bars in the fridge in an airtight box or at room temperature. The melting point of cocoa butter is 93°F (34°C), so if your house is not that warm, the chocolate bars won't melt in the pantry. No silicone mold? You can pour the chocolate mixture into a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan (halve the recipe first, freeze, release, then repeat as the recipe makes 2 chocolate bars). Make sure you cover the pan with parchment paper, grease the paper with oil spray. Keto chocolate toppings Before freezing the bars, you can add some crunchy keto toppings like sliced/chopped almonds, toasted coconut flakes, chopped brazil nuts, pecan, and freeze-dried raspberries. Notes One chocolate bar has 24 chocolate squares. This recipe makes 2 chocolate bars, so 48 chocolate squares. Serving size is 4 squares. Therefore one chocolate bar has 6 servings, 12 serving for the whole recipe. I recommend using this silicone chocolate mold for best result (affiliate link) Nutrition Serving: 4squares | Calories: 81.2kcal | Carbohydrates: 1.9g | Protein: 0.7g | Fat: 8.8g | Saturated Fat: 5.3g | Sodium: 49.1mg | Potassium: 50.4mg | Fiber: 1.1g | Sugar: 0.1g | Calcium: 4.2mg | Iron: 0.5mg | Net Carbs: 0.8g ######################################################################################################################################### Asian chicken wings 2 lbs Chicken Wings 1 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 cup Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce 2 tbsp Sesame Oil 1 tbsp Ginger 1 tbsp Sambal Oelek 2 tbsp Lakanto Maple Syrup 3 tbsp Chopped Scallions 3 tbsp Chopped Cilantro Instructions For the Chicken Wings: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Dry wings as much as possible with paper towels.

If you have some greek seasoning, sprinkle that over it too, I use Nostimini but I suspect that its a uniquely australian/greek culture thing. Add a bunch of salt. Leave it in the fridge for a while, in a container. Over the charcoal I dust it with salt to help crisp it up a little. Its amazing.

You can now save recipes. It's free! By Lena Abraham Aug 27, 2021 Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup Is Fast, Easy And Delicious by Delish US Is there anything more comforting than a bowl of chicken noodle soup? We'll answer for you: NO! This Instant Pot recipe makes light work of this homestyle classic. This is definitely one of those set it and forget it recipes that you're going to keep in your back pocket. Using the sauté feature, you can easily develop flavors by cooking the mirepoix (that's onions, carrots, and celery) before adding the remaining ingredients. More of a dark meat person? Thighs or drumsticks would be DELICIOUS in this soup. Since dark meat typically takes a bit longer to cook, we recommend upping the pressure cook time from 7 minutes to 10 minutes to ensure your chicken is cooked through and easily shreddable. Making this ahead of time? Don't add noodles! We know, it's an annoying extra step to boil noodles separately. The thing is, if the noodles sit in the soup, they'll get bloated. And mushy. And slimy. We want nice, al dente noodles in our soup! So, boil and drain them on their own. When you're ready to serve, put some cooked noodles in the bottom of your bowl and ladle the hot soup on top. Freezing your soup? Smart decision! This soup reheats beautifully—but again, you'll want to leave out the noodles. Just boil the exact amount you want to eat fresh while you defrost your soup. Wanna add more veggies? Do it! Heartier veggies like peppers and parsnips can be snuck in with your mirepoix, or stir in some leafy greens like spinach or Swiss chard when everything else is done cooking and the soup is still piping hot. Your body will thank you. Made this? Let us know how it went in the comment section below! Editor's Note: This page was updated on August 27, 2021 to include a video.

Traditionally, tortilla soup is made with fried corn tortillas and chicken broth flavored with charred tomatoes and chile de árbol.

Keep this soup vegetarian by using vegetable broth and skip the Parmesan garnish to make it vegan! How do I make soup in my Instant Pot? Instant Pots are amazing for soup. You simply add ingredients, set your Instant Pot to high, and press go! Soups are done in less than 20 minutes. Will the flavors taste the same? Yes—but any time you make soup if you first sauté your aromatics (onion, celery, garlic, etc) before adding your broth and other ingredients, it helps build flavor. The whole point of the Instant Pot is, well, that the soup is done in an instant, so we skip flavor building here :) What goes into lentil soup? We love lentil soup for its versatility. We add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic as a base, plus canned tomatoes and fresh thyme. Lentil soup of course also needs lentils. The 18 minute wait is the time the lentils take to cook. Can I make vegetarian lentil soup? Of course. Swap in vegetable broth for the chicken broth. Do other greens besides spinach work? Absolutely. Once the lentils are tender, remove the lid of the Instant Pot and stir in whatever leafy greens you like—kale, Swiss chard, arugula, even mustard greens (our favorite for their spicy taste) and stir until wilted. Have you tried this yet? Let us know how it went in the comments below!

After scrolling through all of our amazing Instant Pot recipes, we know what your answer will be. But one of its absolute best uses is for soups. Soups, especially something like split pea, often improve with a a couple of hours of simmering and flavor melding. An Instant Pot can do it in a fraction of the time. Truly, if you take a phone call you may miss it. Here are answers to some frequently asked spilt pea questions: What's a split pea? A split pea is a dried pea that has its skin removed and is then "split." They're low-fat, super high in protein, and they have tons of fiber. Though most commonly thought of as being used in soup, they have a ton of applications that are more delicious than the next. What is split pea soup? It's one of the oldest soups we eat, dating back to the Roman ages. At its most basic and more current form, it's a soup made from dried spit peas, a liquid like stock or water, and ham. That ham can take many forms from ham steak to smokey ham hocks. What's the difference between yellow and green split peas? Green split peas tend to be a little sweeter than more mild and earthy tasting yellow split peas. Can I use bacon instead of ham? Absolutely. (Our Loaded Bacon Split Pea Soup is one of our faves.) We definitely recommend you spring for thick sliced bacon so that you have nice pieces to bite into while you enjoy your soup. You can also skip both altogether, but the broth will benefit from some type of fatty element like ham or bacon. How can I make this vegan/vegetarian? Thought ham adds a delicious smoky flavor, it isn't at all necessary. To mimic some of that hearty flavor you can add a bit of red miso for a bit of umami and body. As far as the chicken broth, it can simply be swapped with vegetable broth or water. Do I need to sauté the vegetables first? We like to! This is a step when making soup that helps develop flavor. If you don't want to deal with a quick sauté, simply add all of your ingredients to the Instant Pot and follow the instructions in step 2. What's a substitute for leeks? Prepping leeks can be annoying, but we love their flavor that we put up with it :) A white or yellow onion is a fine sub. How do I have leftovers? Leftovers keep best when stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. Made this? Let us know what you think in the comment section below! Save Recipe Yields: 6 servings Prep Time: 0 hours 15 mins Total Time: 0 hours 45 mins Ingredients 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil 1 large leek, white and light green parts only, halved, washed well, and thinly sliced into half moons 1 medium onion, finely chopped 3 carrots, peeled and cut into thin rounds 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 1/2 c. dried green split peas (about 12 oz.) 4 oz. ham, diced (about 1 c.) 1 tbsp. fresh thyme, plus more for serving 4 c. low-sodium chicken broth 2 tbsp. Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus wedges for serving Directions Set Instant Pot to Sauté and add the oil, leek, onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add split peas, ham, thyme, and broth, and stir to combine. Lock lid and set machine to cook at high pressure for 12 minutes. When finished, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position to release the pressure. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Divide soup among bowls. Top with more fresh thyme leaves, pepper, and a drizzle of oil. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over. ############################################################################################################################################################ Instant Pot Easy Lasagna Soup Prep Time 15 mins Cook Time 15 mins Total Time 50 mins Instant Pot Easy Lasagna Soup is thick and rich, with everything you love about lasagna, in a bowl!

When the display reads Hot, add the meat, bay leaf, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Cook until you can't see any pink in the meat, stirring occasionally. You shouldn't have to drain any fat if you used lean meat, but if there is too much, spoon some out. Add the onion, Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes, until onion starts to turn translucent, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth. Stir well and let contents come to a simmer. Add the pasta and stir well. Put the lid on and turn the steam release knob to the Sealing position. Turn off/cancel the Sauté function. Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button (or dial) and then the + or - button (or dial) to choose 6 minutes. When the cook time ends and the pot beeps, do a Quick Release of the pressure. Start slowly, to make sure no sauce comes out with the steam, then turn the steam release knob fully. When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid. Stir the soup and separate any noodles that stuck together (sometimes I get a few). Then add the Parmesan and the mozzarella cheeses. Stir well and let melt. Then add the spinach and cottage cheese. Serve in bowls with fresh basil or parsley, and extra parmesan cheese.

Reply Anyaa February 27, 2022 at 5:52 pm I don’t do white flour pasta, but use alternative pastas, and I have some green lentil lasagna,,,,can you tell me how I would adjust the time for this? Reply Sandy February 28, 2022 at 7:51 am I have never used that kind of pasta (but it sounds great!). I read several reviews that stated to not precook it, just layer them in. I would try that. If they are too soft, you will know to cook a little less next time. If too al dente, cook a little longer. I’m going to buy some as the reviews are great, so thank you for the question! Reply Anyaa McAndrew March 23, 2022 at 12:21 pm I used 1/2 box of the green lentil lasagna pasta noodles, brand name is Explore, and the 6-minute instant pot timing you suggested in the recipe and they came out perfect! Thank you, this is a very yummy recipe! Marsha February 27, 2022 at 10:16 am Can I add to this to make a pan for about 10? Will it fit in an 8 Qt pot if I do? Also, can I eliminate the tomato ingredients and use a Spaghetti sauce? Reply Sandy February 27, 2022 at 1:09 pm Yes. This will fit in an 8-quart, maybe not doubled, but half again as much.

By Pillsbury Kitchens Updated Jun 13, 2019 Ingredients 1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (4 cups) 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 1 1/2 lb) 1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (8 Count) 2 medium carrots, chopped (1 cup) 3 celery ribs, chopped Make With Make With Pillsbury Biscuits Steps 1 In 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven, heat broth, chicken, soup and poultry seasoning to boiling over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Increase heat to medium-high; return to a low boil. 2 On lightly floured surface, roll or pat each biscuit to 1/8-inch thickness; cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. 3 Drop strips, one at a time, into boiling chicken mixture. Add carrots and celery. Reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent dumplings from sticking. Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens tip 1 Poultry seasoning is a flexible blend of sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, nutmeg, and black pepper. Every brand has its own proprietary ratio of each herb and spice, but sage tends to be the predominant flavor and is especially complementary to chicken. If you don’t hav... tip 2 Refrigerated biscuit dough is a natural stand-in for homemade dumplings—the dough is nearly identical, and you don’t have to mix up the dough. The strips will actually cook more evenly than if a large dumpling was dropped into the hot filling. tip 3 The creamy filling is the right foil for leftover (or rotisserie) roasted or grilled chicken. Go beyond carrots and celery—try chopped leeks, broccoli, cut green beans, or sugar snap peas.
