I’ve got one more grilled chicken recipe to share with you from the series that I did with Tablespoon.com, and I think I’ve saved the best one for last. This is an overstuffed grilled chicken breast with tons of Greek Flavors. I used feta, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, onion, garlic and spices to stuff these big beautiful grilled chicken breasts. These are big enough to split in half for 2 people, or have enough for leftovers for the next day’s lunch.

I cooked these with my indoor electric counter top Cuisinart griddler. In hindsight, I think they would have been easier to cook on the outdoor grill though. If cooking on the outdoor grill, instead of flipping them, just cook them with the top closed and tented with aluminum foil until the internal temperature is 160°.

I’ve got another fun idea today to dress up ordinary grilled chicken. This chicken breast is seasoned with lots of flavorful spices (basically the same ones you would have in taco seasoning) and topped with a fresh black bean salsa. The salsa is also really good on it’s own. I added defrosted corn, fresh chopped tomato, onion and cilantro to a can of rinsed and drained black beans. Be sure to rinse the beans really well for this salad so you don’t have any of the gravy part of the canned beans in your salsa.

I love a good taco salad. And since we’ve been grilling so much chicken lately, I figured why not incorporate it in my favorite salad. You can find this recipe for grilled chicken taco salad at Babble’s Family Kitchen

I received some beautiful endive last weekend and just had to make a salad with it. It’s a beautiful w inter salad. I served this salad along with chicken strips (my son’s favorite). You can find this apple endive salad with poppy seed dressing at Babble’s Family Kitchen.

It’s strawberry season in Florida! We’ve been eating them everyday, a ton of them. This is a quick and easy after school treat I made yesterday for my son and I. You can find this strawberry banana milkshake at Babble’s Family Kitchen.

Citrus flavors always remind me of spring, so I’ve been adding citrus, and especially lemon flavors, to just about everything I’ve been making lately. This is one of my newest creations, a lemon flavored monkey bread.

I made this with Pillsbury® Grands!® biscuits. It was a fun project to do with my son. He helped me decorate it with a lemon glaze made from fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar. Then we sliced up the whole thing and shared it with our neighbors.

You can find the recipe and how to photos and instructions or this lemon monkey bread at the Pillsbury site.

I’ve been head over heals about fried avocados after discovering them some time last year on some of my  favorite food blogs. We love avocados in my family, so frying up one of our favorite treats came natural. I knew the next logical step for my fried avocado slices would be to put them into a soft taco. I have been thinking through this recipe for several months, and finally decided to give it a whirl yesterday.

Obviously we love avocados in my family, not just because they are healthy, but because they taste so good too. I like to replace mayonnaise on sandwiches with avocados and even replace the fat in some baked goods with avocados like with these brownies. Avocados were even my son’s first solid food, and he still loves them just as much today as he did then.

Avocados from Mexico is helping us all spread our love for avocados through their facebook page. You can visit the I love avocados on Facebook page and download a ringtone, badge, wallpaper/screensaver or even send a virtual gift to a friend.

I downloaded this beautiful avocado photo from their Facebook page. I just love it.

They even have some blog badges. This one is really cute too.

If your on twitter, you can also connect with @guacgrl for all the latest avocado news. Use the hashtag #iloveavocados in your tweets so we can spread the avocado love!

And now back to these beer battered fried avocado tacos. I hope the photos have grabbed your attention. I started by adding a simple corn salsa to the tortilla. I combined corn, red and green peppers, red onion, cilantro and fresh lime juice to make a simple complimentary salsa for my avocados.

Then after frying my avocado slices in a spicy beer batter, I drizzled a spicy mayonnaise on top consisting of fresh cilantro, lime juice, a serrano pepper and mayonnaise. The sauce gave a nice spicy kick to the creamy delicately flavored avocados.

Beer Battered Fried Avocado Tacos

Ingredients:

For the avocados:

2 hass avocados
1 cup flour
1 cup beer
1 teaspoon hot sauce (I used sriracha)

For the corn salsa:

1 cup corn
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium red onion, diced
a large bunch of cilantro, roughly chopped
the juice of 1 lime
salt and pepper to taste

For the spicy mayonnaise:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
a large bunch cilantro
the juice of 2 limes
1 jalapeno or serrano pepper

Other ingredients:

4 - 6 cups oil for frying
flour or corn tortillas

Directions:

Preheat oil for frying to 375°. Combine flour, beer and hot sauce in a large bowl. Whisk well and set aside.

Combine all ingredients for corn salsa and set aside.

Combine all ingredients for spicy mayonnaise in a food processor and blend until cilantro is very fine. Set aside.

Dip avocado slices in batter and drop in hot oil to fry. Fry at 375° for 2 - 3 minutes, turning once. Avocados should be golden brown.

Serve corn salsa in tortillas topped with fried avocados and spicy mayonnaise.

This popular Malaysia treat on a stick is something I’ve been wanting to make for a long time. Since I’ve been grilling lots of chicken over the past month, I decided to try out some grilled chicken satays too. This recipe uses a quick acting marinade that adds a ton of flavor to the chicken. Instead of using my outdoor grill to cook these, I used an indoor counter top eclectic Cuisinart griddler. You can also use a grill pan on the stove top.(...)

Even though it’s still quite chilly here, I want to think it’s spring. Maybe it’s all the sunshine, and the warm afternoons we have in winter here in Florida. I haven’t ventured outside to use my charcoal grill yet, but my indoor little counter-top Cuisinart griddler sure has been getting alot of use. We’ve been grilling all sorts of chicken breasts recipes like this one.

This is a super simple chicken caprese. I just stuffed the chicken with the mozzarella, tomato and basil instead of melting it down on top. I took a boneless skinless chicken breast, cut it lengthwise down the middle so I had two thin pieces of chicken breasts, and then pounded them flat with my heavy cast  iron skillet.

Then after seasoning my chicken breasts, I stuffed them with mozzarella, roma tomatoes and basil. I rolled them up and secured them with a toothpick. Then I grilled them until they were done.

These are wonderful just over some fresh lettuce. You can top with balsamic vinegar and olive oil of you like, but it’s also good without it.

Grilled chicken is a staple in our house. I think it is for almost everyone. Grilling chicken is an incredibly healthy and tasty way to cook it. But who wants plain grilled chicken every night? It can get a little boring, so I like to spice it up.

For these grilled chicken breasts, I added some of my favorite BBQ sauce, and then some thick sliced crispy bacon (I used a spicier black pepper bacon). To top it off, I melted a piece of Swiss down on top. But these were just for my son. I had to make ours even spicier.

So for our chicken breasts, I added the same ingredients, but also added some fresh sliced jalapeno peppers underneath the cheese.

These chicken breasts go great with a fresh salad as shown, but would also be wonderful in a sandwich with some fries on the side.
