Coca-Cola BBQ Chicken

I tried a new recipe this week and we loved this and I hope you do too! It’s incredibly easy to make and delicious!

Ingredients:
• 4 – 5 thawed chicken breasts
• 18 ounce bottle of BBQ sauce. (We’re from Ohio so we love Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce)
• 1/2 can Coca-Cola (approx. 6 ounces)

Instructions:
1. Cook the chicken in the Crock-pot on high for 3 hours
2. Drain any juices from the Crock-pot
3. Mix together BBQ Sauce and Coca-Cola in a bowl
4. Pour mixture over chicken
5. Cook on high for 1 more hour
We ate this with rice! So delicious! 🙂

Homemade Calzones

This is a perfect Friday night dinner at home!

Ingredients (this makes 2 calzones but serves 4 people):
-2 containers pizza dough
-Pizza/pasta sauce- I use regular Prego
-Mozzarella Cheese
-Desired toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage, etc.)

Instructions:
1. Roll pizza dough into a rectangle
2. Put sauce on side of the dough
3. Add desired amount of toppings and cheese on top of the sauce
4. Fold the side that doesn’t have any sauce or toppings over the other side
5. Pinch the edges in with your fingers and a fork
6. Cut a few slits in the top so it can vent

7. Bake at 375 degrees for about 25-30 minutes
8. I usually heat up more sauce to dip my calzone in but that’s up to you!
9. Enjoy!

Chicken Pockets

This is a recipe I learned from my mom. It’s really easy and healthy.

Ingredients:

• Chicken breasts
• Mushrooms
• Yellow squash (this is a must even if you don’t eat the squash, gives the chicken a lot of flavor)
• Carrots (optional)
• Lawry’s Seasoning

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Put chicken breast on a piece of foil and sprinkle with Lawry’s seasoning
3. Top with sliced mushrooms, yellow squash, and carrots.
4. Sprinkle a little more seasoning

5. Seal the foil (creates a pocket)

6. Cook for 40 minutes

7. Enjoy! Perfect with rice or potatoes.

Garlic Red Potatoes

I make garlic red potatoes at least once a week. They are so good and so easy!

Ingredients:
-Red Potatoes (enough for 3-4 people), I recommend the Dynamic Duo (combination of mini red and yellow potatoes) from the Little Potato Company. I get this from Sam’s Club and it lasts me a couple of months.

-2 tbsp garlic
-1-2 tbsp dried parsley
-1/4 cup olive oil
-Salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Clean the potatoes and then cut in half or quarters
3. Mix red potatoes in a bowl with garlic, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.

4. Good for 45 minutes- 1 hour. Flip once or twice while it’s cooking.
5. Enjoy!
