Latin-Chicken-Skillet-Black-Beans-Tomatoes-19-768x1152

 

 

Description
You’re less than 30 minutes away from serving up a delicious, homemade chicken dinner with Latin flair! And with just a handful of ingredients and a single skillet, this Latin skillet is a perfect meal for busy weeknights.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 package (about 5-6 pieces, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds total) chicken breast cutlets, pat dry
2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans
Lime wedges, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
Season chicken with adobo seasoning, then fry until golden brown on the bottoms, about 3 minutes. Flip chicken over and add garlic and shallots, shaking the pan a bit so the garlic and shallots move toward the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, add beans, and simmer until the beans are heated through and the chicken is fully cooked, about 5 minutes longer.
Serve chicken and black beans with lime wedges alongside, if desired

Landslide

Song by Fleetwood Mac

I took my love and I took it down

I climbed a mountain and I turned around

And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills

And the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky

What is love ?

Can the child within my heart rise above

Can I sail thought the changing ocean tides

Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing

‘Cause I built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Even children get older

And I’m getting older, too

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing

‘Cause I built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Even children get older

And I’m getting older, too

Yes, I’m getting older, too

Take my love and take it down

Climb a mountain and turn around

And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

Well the landslide brought me down

And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

Well maybe the landslide will bring you down

Meow Meow

I love my Meow Meow very much. He is the sweetest cat. Sometimes, he will press his head against mine to remind me he loves me too. He also loves to kiss me, and I enjoy that. He has brought me such great companionship and is a part of my family.

Me and My son

My son, who is my youngest child. He is still the same pretty eyed boy as in this picture. Although he is grown now and is 18, soon to be 19, he still has my heart.

Inky

This is Inky, he is my second oldest cat, and he is such a sweet boy. He constantly grabs my hands for me to rub on him. I can’t imagine my life without my Inky in it. He is and will always be precious.

Easy Korean Sticky Chicken Easy-Sticky-Korean-Chicken

Ingredients
Serves 4

1 lb / 453 gr chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I used grapeseed oil)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 scallions, green part only, finely chopped

Directions

In a bowl combine honey, gochujang, oil, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Mix well until combined.
Place chicken chunks in a resealable bag (or a shallow dish) and pour marinade over it.
Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (marinate overnight for fullest flavor). If you don’t have time to marinate, that’s okay; it just won’t be so deeply flavored.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and set aside.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, when sizzling add chicken and cook for about 8 minutes, or until cooked through, stirring every now and then. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add the marinade in the same pan and cook for one minute, until the sauce begins to bubble.
Return the chicken to the pan and coat on all sides, cook for further 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is caramelized.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and stir one last time to coat evenly.
Transfer to a bowl and top with chopped scallions.
Serve immediately!
