Chicken Cakes

Well, you have heard of crab cakes but my favorite is chicken cakes!  Made the same way but I use the white chicken breast in the can since it has about the same consistency.

Ingredients:
8 Tbs of olive oil (reserve 4 Tbs)
1 Tbs of butter
2 large bell peppers chopped (any color - I prefer red and organic)
1 yellow sweet onion chopped (substitute yellow or red)
2 Tbs of minced garlic
1/4 cup of chopped cilantro (fresh) 
2 Tbs of dijon mustard
2 cans of white chicken breast drained
2 eggs slightly beaten
3/4 cup of panko fine bread crumbs (substitute any fine bread crumbs)
Spice to taste - I use the following:
1 Tbs of black pepper
1 Tbs of cayenne pepper (less if you don't like spicy)
1 Tbs of turmeric
1 Tbs of ground ginger
1 Tbs of dried parsley
1 Tbs of dried basil 
1 Tbs of salt ( optional - I don't use it because the canned chicken as salt in it)

Heat oil and add the bell peppers, onions, garlic and cilantro.  Cook about 10 minutes on medium heat until the bell peppers and onions are soft.
 
Let's get started!

Remove from heat and set aside in a new bowl to cool.  Add 2 Tbs of dijon mustard, 2 eggs slightly beaten, panko and mix together along with the spices listed.  Add two cans of white chicken breast drained and broken up.

Ready to make the patties!
Heat oil again with the 1 Tbs of butter.  Make patties about 1/3 size each and add to the hot oil.  Cook on a low medium heat flipping 1/2 way after each side is brown and crispy.  Do not overcook since the canned chicken is already cooked and not raw.

All done and ready to serve!

Serve immediately and garnish with sour cream, avocado, salsa or pico de gallo.  You can garnish with a sauce (like 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sriracha sauce - same amounts mixed together for an awesome spicy sauce) but they taste good by themselves with a vegetable side dish.
 

Enjoy!

Tex-Mex Chicken Burrito Bowl

Tex-Mex Chicken Burrito Bowl Okay, I like to try different things, so I buy lots of food magazines for ideas! A very recent one this year 2023, Cooking Light magazine, had an assortment of different "power bowls" to make. I decided to try this one with chicken, but you can substitute any type of meat you would like in it, i.e. shredded beef, ground beef, and if you are daring, no meat substitutes! Well, that last one is not for me!  Below is the actual recipe I used. If you don't subscribe to Cooking Light, you are missing some great ideas of recipes for you and/or your family. When I saw this edition, I knew it was a game changer for me. I can take the recipe and modify it for the fussy eaters in my family and make it their own.  First, I made it "almost" like the recipe calls for to see what the results would be from everyone. My conclusion was, I loved it just the way it was, but not so with the others. So below is my suggestion on what to do so you don't

Morning Strawberry Protein Shake

Garden Strawberries So, I like strawberries, and it is the season for all of us back yard growers to start picking! I downsized my plot of plants, but I still have some to pick periodically as they ripen.  The local farms should be ready for the "you pick deals" from June - mid July now! There are quite a few growers in the PNW to choose from. A local favorite is the  Biringer Farm , you can check out their website for more information.  After, of course, the morning coffee, I will make my breakfast shake. It consists of one cup of unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk, or unsweetened oat milk. Normally when watching calories, I will opt for almond or coconut milk. I also like at times to mix all three to make one full cup!  I will add one scoop of whey, my morning vitamin, and one cup of frozen strawberries. Sometimes I will add a frozen banana or frozen blueberries. My favorite is just using strawberries. I blend this for about a minute to make sure everything i
