chicken recipe

A simple way to use up plain whole yogurt.

Shop Your Pantry - over abundance of plain yogurt (c)nwafoodie

We’re big into plain yogurt over here in the Fultz household. It’s one of our pantry staples. But like anything when it comes to food, sometimes you get on a kick and then you hit a plateau where you’re over it. Or, at least you pull back from the overabundance and gently tell it that you need a little space.

So I found myself with two tubs of plain yogurt. One unopened and one partially opened, with a looming expiration date. What to do? What to do? You bake chicken with a savory yogurt glaze, that’s what you do.

Here’s how easy it is to whip together.

There are two important ingredients in play here with this recipe. One obviously is the yogurt. The other ingredient involves you taking stock of your spices. Go on, open up the pantry door and take a long hard look. Look past the single spices and herbs and start pulling out those blended mixes that are piling up. Montreal Chicken, Crazy Jane, you know you have one or two that you’ve barely touched. For me, I had a pile of bulk spices from a recent trip to Kansas City. What you’re looking for is a spice that would go well with roasted chicken and has salt as a main ingredient.

Chop up parsley (you have some on hand, right?), mince shallots (every good foodie has this on hand, right?), and add a touch of crumbled blue cheese to a bowl of plain yogurt and mix until you have a smooth blend. Cover chicken breasts, chicken parts, or a whole chicken and roast in the oven for forty minutes. The yogurt will sink into the skin of the chicken and leave a pretty patchwork of parsley that both smells and tastes heavenly.

Okay, now it’s your turn. What overabundance of spices did you end up using? Don’t have any yogurt? Sour cream will work wonderfully! In fact, conduct your own experiment and do half the chicken with yogurt and half the chicken with sour cream. Tell me which one you prefer.

Happy pantry shopping!

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my t This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my tub with all my handmade serving bowls (and one lovely @lecreuset dish), they all came crashing to the floor.⁠
⁠
Crash!⁠
Smash!⁠
Shock.⁠
⁠
Honestly, I was happy I used them all the time, and they had a good run.⁠

I learned long time ago to use what you have. Otherwise, why have it?

Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, aren’t you? Okay, I will make this brief. ⁠

Print, bookmark, or pin this Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Slider recipe. Better yet, make it for dinner!⁠
⁠
You know I’m all about being helpful. And healthy! I’ve also been afraid to walk down that frozen or prepared foods aisle at the store, thinking, “Nope, not for me. They’re not healthy.” ⁠
⁠
I feel good about @kevins.natural.foods because I know I can still eat well by keeping them on hand, whether for the four-o-clock pinch or meal planning.⁠
⁠
I first tried Kevin’s Cauliflower Mac n Cheese when it was a special buy at Aldi’s. The ingredients were simple and pure, and we were delighted to discover they tasted great!⁠
⁠
Kevin’s also has a line of delicious five-minute entrees like Peppercorn Steak, Cilantro Lime Chicken, and Roasted Garlic Chicken.⁠
⁠
My recipe for Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Sliders only has seven ingredients and seven steps. Best of all, you can complete it from skillet to table in ten minutes!⁠

Turkey?⁠

Green bean casserole?⁠
⁠
Mashed potatoes?⁠
⁠
Sweet potato casserole?⁠
⁠
Corn?⁠
⁠
Peas?⁠
⁠
Gravy?⁠
⁠
The correct answer is all of them! But mostly, you can’t have Thanksgiving without turkey, sweet potatoes, and veggies. It’s un-American.⁠
⁠
This crazy-awesome pie is stuffed with an abundance of shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, and gravy – Ding! Ding! Ding! – You guessed correctly! It also has ooey-gooey cheese and sour cream to add a layer of comforting delight.⁠
⁠
Link in bio for my Thanksgiving-inspired pot pie that uses three @wickspies 8″ raw circles. One for the base and two to cut lattice strips (using a ravioli cutter) so that it looks extra pretty. Of course, you could just use two raw circles. One for the base and one for the top. Just cut some slits on the top crust so that some ooey-gooey delightfulness can do its thang.⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
