The food that keeps on giving...CHICKEN!!!

Last week I  made a rotisserie chicken and it came out so great that I used it for a Grilled Chicken Caesar wrap.  This chicken will have you licking your fingers.  It is so tender and juicy.  The wrap took me less than 10 minutes to make and it was another crowd pleaser.  You will want to keep both of these recipes in your recipe book.  Next week, I hope to try a few new desserts and upload them to the blog.  My menu plan for the week is also listed below.  Happy cooking everyone!

Recipe: Slow Cooked Rotisserie Styled Chicken

This picture is from the Kitchen of Deep South

Ingredients: 

1 whole chicken (I used a "young chicken")

Garlic and Herb seasoning (Pampered Chef has an amazing version)

1 medium onion chopped

black pepper

1 tsp of Cajun seasoning

garlic powder

2 tsp of paprika

BBQ sauce (I used sweet and spicy)

Butter

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Rinse chicken off thoroughly.  Remove any of the giblets in the chicken.   

2. Place chopped onion on the bottom of a baking dish.  Place chicken in the pan (on top of bed of onions).  Season the chicken all over with the seasonings above (season all, garlic and herb seasoning, black pepper, Cajun seasoning, paprika).  Season whole chicken (even under the skin).  Then brush the chicken with the BBQ sauce.  Place a few tablespoons of butter in the baking dish. 

3. Roast the chicken uncovered at 250 degrees for five hours.  After each hour, baste the chicken.  

4. Once the chicken is done (internal temperature needs to be 175 degrees), take it out the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes.  Then serve with your favorite side dishes.

Directions:

1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees.  Warm up both sides of your tortilla (about 30-45 seconds on each side).  

2. Lay your tortillas out flat.  Chop some romaine lettuce and tomatoes.  Lay on top of the lettuce.  Then sprinkle some of the Parmesan cheese on top.  Next, place the cut up chicken on top.  Then sprinkle with some of the Mozzarella chicken.  Pour some of the Caesar dressing on top.
