Apricot Chicken Nuggets

I make chicken at least twice a week and I wanted to switch things up a bit so I found this recipe and it reminds me of a dish a friend always makes so I decided to try it. Last couple times were a hit. Check it out...

Ingredients:

1 lb of organic chicken breast

2 cups of Italian flavored bread crumbs

2 cups flour

1 egg

Vegetable oil

1 jar of apricot preserve

1cup of water 

Clean and cut chicken into bite size nugget pieces. Dip into flour, then egg wash (egg mixed with water) dip in bread crumbs and then set aside. In a dip frying pan fill up with vegetable oil. Heat until it sizzles. Add chicken. Turn once bottom has a crunchy dark coat on it. Once finished put chicken on a dish with paper towel to drain any extra oil. 

In a seperate frying pan add apricot preserves and a cup of water. Boil on low until completely mixed. 

Add chicken to a baking dish and top with apricot preserves. Bake at 350 for 30 mins. 

This is a great main dish or appetizer.

Super Bowl Easy Appetizers

Super Bowl is Sunday February 7th. Below are some easy,yummy apps to make any party a hit. After all eating and watching football do go hand and hand.

*Mexican Dip:

-1 can of refried beans

-1 block of cream cheese

-1 package of  shredded Cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese 

Get a Pyrex. Spread bottom with cream cheese. Spread next layer with refried beans. Top with shredded cheese. Put in microwave for two minutes. Add additional time until cheese is completely melted. Serve with Nacho chips or your favorite chip. 

*Apricot Kabosi:

1package of turkey kabosi

2 tablespoons of apricot preserves

2 tablespoons of deli mustard

Bake kabosi until golden. Now I like to Slice it thin before baking. I feel it gets really crunchy.  In a bowl mix apricot and deli mustard. Once kabosi is cooked pour mixture on top and bake for another 15 mins. So yummy and easy. 

*Pigs in a Blanket:

1 package of hot dogs

1 package of store brand crescent rolls

Every birthday and holiday I make shapes   Of this app with my kids. Ex: for their birthdays we make what number they turned. For Christmas we make a

Candy cane or Christmas tree etc... The trick here is to use store brand crescent rolls. The reason is it's more buttery. Not sure why but works and tastes better. I also like using full size hot dogs and cutting them in half to roll. 

*Goat Cheese Spread

1 package of pesto

1 jar of roasted peppers 

1 stick of cream cheese

1 block of goat cheese

1 bag of sliced mini bagels 

These app costs about $20 to make but it's really good and you can actually make two of these with the ingredients. First get a piece of plastic wrap and coat the inside of any tubberwear. This will mold the shape of how this spread will look. Mix in a seperate bowl cream cheese with goat cheese. Cut roasted peppers into bite size. I always add a little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to the store bought pesto. 

Now start your layering. Start with cream cheese and goat cheese mix. Then add pesto. Then cream cheese and goat cheese mix. Then peppers. Then end with goal cheese and cream cheese spread. Cover and refrigerate over night. 

Open tubberwear and flip onto serving dish. Peel off plastic wrap. Serve with toasted mini bagel slices. Awesome!
