Grandma's Deviled Chicken

Grandma's Deviled Chicken recipe is a traditional baked chicken dish. Although I enjoy coming up with new foods to eat, I will always got back to a traditional dish every once and a while. This chicken dish was my first homemade dish in American.  My mother-in-low cooked it for us during my first Christmas in US. This dish is always a given at family gatherings. 

There are only six items to prepare for this recipe.  Chicken breast, dry mustard, paprika, butter(or margarine), salt, and pepper.

Place chicken in baking dish.

Baste the chicken with melted butter. We will use the remaining butter later.

Bake at 350℉ for 30 min.

Add the remaining ingredients with the leftover butter and mix well.

Spread over chicken and add 1/4 cup of water. Adding water will make the chicken more juicy.

Return to oven and bake 45 min more.

Done!! Dinner time! Let's eat!

Yakitori Chicken Wings

Today, I introduce to you my favorite sauce - Yakitori Sauce! Yakitori sauce is like a sweet soy sauce and is very popular in Japan. Typically, you will find it on skewered chicken cooked over a grill. Yakitori is hidden gem. Most people think of Japanese food as being Sushi, Tempura, and Green Tea (Maccha), but Yakitori is also popular. Usually we use soy sauce, sugar, Japanese cooking sake and rice wine. Unfortunately, some ingredients are not popular and hard to find in the U.S. Not to worry, because I re-arranged the recipe to make it easier for you! The ingredients you need are soy sauce, sugar, and white wine. Only three ingredients! Sounds easy, right? We can use this sauce for many kinds of other foods like grilled pork, beef, noodles, and Tempura. This time I use this sauce for Chicken Wings without skewers. I hope you like this sauce.

  

Let's start making the sauce!

Combine soy sauce, sugar, and White wine in a sauce pan. Heat the mixture at medium low heat.  Simmer until the sauce starts to be sticky. Once the sauce cools it will be gooey.

Brush the chicken with the sauce.

Grill the chicken. The sauce is easy to get burned. So do not grill with high heat.  

Brush the chicken with the sauce a few times.

Looks yummy! Smells perfect. You can't wait to eat them, can you?!

I chose celery for side, but I also recommend Edamame.  Edamame and Yakitori is a good combination and pairs well. To make it even better, add your favorite Beer and then it's perfect!!

Chicken Salad Wrap

This Chicken Salad Wrap is easy, healthy, and delicious! I used leftover grilled chicken from last nights dinner. Usually, I plan out the dinner menu for the upcoming week and go shopping on Sunday. When I want to eat a healthy food but don't have enough time to cook, I usually go with this Chicken Salad Wrap. I had grilled the chicken ahead of time and used the leftovers. My daughter is a picky eater and doesn't like vegetables, but even she will eat this wrap loaded with vegetables.

Mix salad, Ranch dressing, and lime (or lemon) juice well.

Next, add cheese to the salad. I like Fiesta Blend Cheese or Mozzarella cheese, but any cheese will work. 

It's time to wrap! Put the salad and chicken on a tortilla.

And wrap!

This Chicken Salad Wrap pairs well with my favorite Corn Cream Soup.
