{Katie’s Kitchen} Garlic Butter Chicken

Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard!

Yum. This chicken (and asparagus or broccoli) is SO good. There is so much flavor and it is so easy to make in one pan right on the stove top.

Start out by chopping 3-4 chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks and season with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Then, whether you’re using asparagus or broccoli, go ahead and prepare that, too.

Heat 1/2 stick of butter in the pan with olive oil over medium-low heat and cook chicken until golden brown on all sides. Add minced garlic and Italian seasoning and toss for another minute, then remove chicken and set aside.

In your skillet, add more minced garlic, 1/2 cup of chicken broth and bring to a simmer, let reduce by half. Then, add 1/2 stick of butter, juice from one lemon, 1 tbsp. of hot sauce and 1 tbsp. of parsley.

Add your asparagus into the pan (I used broccoli, instead) let cook for 3-5 minutes, then toss with your chicken bites for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with lemon slices and more parsley and ENJOY!

Ingredients: I got the recipe here!

  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 bunch of asparagus, rinsed and trimmed
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or Herbes de Provence
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce, optional (we used Sriracha)
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) low-sodium chicken broth (or white wine)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • Crushed red chili pepper flakes, optional
  • Slices of lemon, for garnish

{Katie’s Baby Blog} My Baby is Crawling!

Almost 9 months old and we are finally crawling!! (check out the video at the bottom)

Lily was trying and trying and rolling around her room and scooting everywhere, but it wasn’t until Wednesday night when my husband and I were sitting on the floor in her room, when she finally crawled!

We put her favorite singing cow toy in front of her and off she went! It’s so exciting when your baby reaches a new milestone. She also started dancing that same night…again, to the songs that her singing cow toy was playing. SO CUTE.

You also quickly realize how fast you need to baby proof everything! She has already pulled out the glade wall plug-ins that we have and then went right to stick her finger in the electrical outlet. So, outlet covers are now in everywhere! We already have all the cabinets on lock-down and just need to re-rout some cords that are hanging down, because of course she is going to go straight for them when she gets the chance.

In other news, Lily still has no teeth yet! So, i’m trying to introduce more soft foods that she can eat without them being too pureed, so she gets used to textures. Lots of veggies, she’s really not a fan of chicken or any kind of meat…working on that!  Any ideas of very soft foods that you have..throw them my way!

{Katie’s Kitchen} Bell Pepper ‘Egg in a Hole’

Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard 

Have you ever had an “egg in a hole” in a piece of toast? So easy, right?! Well this Martha Stewart recipe is even more fun!

Add a colorful, sweet bell pepper to the mix and your Egg in a Hole just became even more delicious… in just ten minutes!!

In a large skillet, heat a tsp of olive oil over medium-high heat, add your bell peppers (cut into 4 1/2 in. thick rings), then crack one egg into the middle of each ring. Season with salt and pepper and gently flip after 2-3 minutes. Cook for one more minute so yolks are still “runny.”

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve on top of a piece of toast with your favorite breakfast side!

Ingredients: I got the recipe here! 

  • one large bell pepper (cut into 4 1/2 in. thick rings)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 slices of toast
