Hawaiian Chicken Drumsticks

April 27, 2017 By Sarah Roe Leave a Comment

Hawaiian Chicken Drumsticks

This is one of my go-to’s, one of my favorites. It’s easy, it’s healthy and my kids love it. Pretty simple. As a blogger, I take pictures of food all the time. Have you seen my instagram? It’s a lot of food. I took this dish outside (as I usually do) to get the best light and I found myself caught in the ridiculousness of standing on my back porch taking pictures of raw chicken.

So, there you have it, a picture of chicken and my Converse. Blogging at its finest. 😉 All of that being said, the recipe is fabulous. It’s super easy and you can prepare it ahead of time. I’m a BIG fan of meal prep and menu planning not just because it saves money but also because it saves time, we are a family of 7 and time is something I do not have a lot of so, this is my go-to.

I have also been on Whole 30 for awhile now and this fits right into that as well.

INGREDIENTS:

2lbs chicken drumsticks

1 pineapple cut into chunks

olive oil

salt

pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 400 degrees, if using a baking dish, spray lightly with oil. Wash and pat dry the chicken drumsticks, add them to a large ziplock bag. Pour in the pineapple chunks and olive oil. Use the olive oil to your own discretion, a couple of tablespoons should be enough. Close the bag and mix all around making sure the chicken is covered in the oil.

Next, open the bag back open and shake in salt and pepper. Close the bag and shake the back to cover the chicken. Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least one hour or overnight. The longer the chicken sits in the bag with the pineapple, the more Hawaiian it will taste.

You can add in bell peppers or even shredded coconut if you want, it’s completely customizable. I kept it simple for this recipe but, you can do a number of different combinations.

Heat in oven for 15 minutes, pull out, stir and turn chicken then heat an additional 15 minutes. Make sure chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees.

Honey Sesame Chicken

October 3, 2016 By Sarah Roe 5 Comments

Sesame Chicken & Honey Stir Fry

This dish is so easy to make and completely delicious plus, it makes for great leftovers. I love cooking with honey, such a great sweetness especially with our Roark Acres Honey we feature in our sales, made right here in Tulsa. We also sell local, non-GMO chicken from 413 Farm, I don’t miss a chance to cook with local foods.

One of the things I love most about our produce co-op is being able to try out new things, this is a recipe I would never have thought to make 3 years ago. I was always too busy to eat healthy, grabbed whatever box food I could find and threw it on the table as fast as I could. It might have saved me time but it cost me a lot, it cost my health and even though it was cheap to buy, the doctor bills weren’t cheap at all. Needless to say, I turned things around.

Now, I own The Produce Gathering and I think about every single thing I eat all the time. I know where my food comes from and I know what my family is eating.

This is a very easy recipe to make and can be made quickly if you’re in a hurry plus, like I said earlier, it will keep for a few days too. I used gluten free soy sauce which kept my sauce from getting very thick, if you use regular soy sauce, you’ll get a thicker version, just a heads up.

Sesame Chicken & Honey Stir Fry

INGREDIENTS:

2 pounds chicken breasts (cut into pieces)

1 tsp garlic

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup honey

1 tbs sesame seeds

1 sliced onion

1-2 bell peppers sliced

2 cups broccoli

1 green onion

Cooked white rice

DIRECTIONS:

First, cook the cut chicken over medium heat in a pan. I coated my chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper first but you don’t have to do that if you don’t want to, that’s just how I cook my chicken.

Sesame Chicken & Honey Stir Fry

In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, crushed garlic and sesame seeds.

Pour over the chicken and cook until thickened. Then, remove the chicken from the pan leaving the sauce. Throw in the sliced onion, bell peppers and broccoli.

Sesame Chicken & Honey Stir Fry

Cover the pan and cook the veggies until soft, this took about 4 minutes or so.

Place the rice on a plate, cover with chicken and pour on your veggies with sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

I’m telling you, this one is delicious!
