you name it. [instant pot chicken carnitas]

February 22nd, 2021 by | comments

Carnitas are my absolute favorite. I order the meat at basically every Mexican restaurant, but when I want to make homemade carnitas, I don’t always have pork shoulder on hand (does anyone?). That’s where these chicken carnitas come in, as I almost always have chicken in the fridge or freezer. The meat is packed with flavor, super moist and perfectly crispy after a few minutes under the broiler. Add the chicken carnitas to tacos, a salad, a burrito bowl – you name it. SO delicious!

current obsession. [chicken tikka masala]

Over the years, I have become obsessed with Indian food – particularly chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, palak paneer, naan bread, you name it. I’ve been making this recipe from Bon Appetit for years and haven’t felt the need to create my own or find a new recipe because this one is just SO.GOOD. It’s beyond flavorful with just the right amount of spice. Serve alongside some buttery naan and you’re set!

For some reason, I don’t cook or eat Greek food very often and I’m not sure why, because I’m a big fan. From the fresh ingredients to the vibrant colors to the delicious sauces, you can’t go wrong. This Greek bowl is fairly simple to make and packed with flavor. I was too lazy to make pita bread to serve alongside the bowl, but it would of course be a fantastic addition!

Happy Friday! A few weeks ago, my husband and I visited my parents (socially distant, of course), and my mom whipped up this incredibly delicious recipe from Bon Appétit. Honestly, I still have dreams about this bowl. It was SO good with punches of flavor from every component in the dish, complimented by various textures. In two words – delicious and filling. Sign me up!

Life got a bit crazy (busy with work, got engaged[!], etc.), which is why I’ve been absent from blogging, but I was able to get back in the kitchen to make this delicious chicken fried rice. The rice is full of flavor and the perfect meal to whip up during a hectic week.
