Spicy Chick-fil-A with Chick-fil-A Sauce

I'm back!!! Happy Monday to all!! 😊Took some time off to practice new recipes with my new chef style slide in!!! Talk about turning up the heat...low is the new medium and medium is the new high and high is the new singe your eyebrows!! So since I'm turning up the heat ..I thought I'd start off with a Spicy Chick-fil-A chicken breast copy cat recipe I found. The critics, my husband, son and grandson, love it and said it's better than the real thing! I have experimented with both chicken thighs and chicken breasts with this recipe and I much prefer the thighs, but you can use whichever you like. I also made it a little more carb friendly by using almond flour in place of the regular flour. 
Spicy Chick-fil-A
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts cut in half length wise
1/2 cup pickle juice mixed with 1/2 cup water
2 cups flour or almond flour
1/3 cup powdered sugar
3 tsp paprika
2 tbs black pepper
2 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup milk
2 eggs
Canola Oil for frying

Preparation:
1. Prepare brine - Mix pickle juice, you can buy it from Amazon, and water in a large container
2. Heat oil to 350
3. Place split chicken breasts in brine and let sit for about 30 minutes
4. Prepare breading – in a large container mix flour, powder sugar, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, salt and baking power. Set aside.
5. Prepare egg wash – in a large container beat the eggs and milk. Set aside.
6. Bread your chicken – remove one piece of chicken from the brine and dip in the egg wash, then dredge in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
7. Fry your chicken- once coated on both sides fry your chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
8. Serve and enjoy!

Argentinian Red Shrimp in a White Wine Garlic Sauce

Happy Monday!! I can't believe tomorrow will be three weeks since I started this blog! Time sure does fly when you're having fun!!! Hope you and your family are enjoying the recipes as much as we do. I've gotten several recipes from friends that I can't wait to try and blog about. If you have a favorite recipe and pictures you'd love to share, please email or text me! 😊 My family loves shrimp so today's recipe will not disappoint. Normally I don't use wine when I cook but there are a few exceptions, red wine spaghetti and shrimp in a white wine garlic sauce.  There is no need to go and buy an expensive wine to cook with. The best rule of thumb is, if you drink it you can cook with it! The alcohol in the wine will cook out and you will only be left with the flavor. I chose an orange moscato, made in Fredericksburg, because the orange flavor goes great with the garlic, butter and shrimp. You can serve this dish with either pasta, or my favorite, creamy pole

Low Carb Spicy Sausage and Kale Soup

Happy Monday Everyone!!! I hope everyone is having a great day and staying cool. 😊 I'm in Texas and the heat here is crazy....if we have a day under 100 degrees it's a miracle!! Since it has been so crazy hot I decided this week is going to be soup week!!! What.....100 degrees and soup! I know it sounds a little crazy but there is something relaxing about a great bowl of homemade soup. This week I'm going to focus on healthier low carb soup recipes. Today's recipe is so quick, easy and delicious you'll want to make it a staple. Being in Texas, I love the heat and the spice so in my recipe I use hot Italian bulk sausage and add some spicy red pepper flakes to kick it up a few notches!!! The best thing about this recipe is you can make it as mild or as spicy as you like! If you don't like Italian sausage, no problem....try it with ground chicken or turkey. Give it a go and let me know your thoughts. If you have a favorite soup recipe, please feel free to share!
