Boneless Chicken Thigh Recipes

Chicken thighs are often overlooked in recipes because of the popularity of boneless chicken breasts, which are more in demand. However, chicken thighs are juicier and much more flavorful. They are also very economical and if you are on a tight budget, there are lots of chicken thigh recipes you can make, whether you are looking for something international like easy chicken enchiladas or something for the summer like grilled chicken recipes.

You can use boneless chicken thighs in casseroles and stews and pretty much any dish where you would normally use chicken breast. You might like to use some chicken breast and some chicken thigh, for a contrast in flavors and textures.

How to De-Bone a Chicken Thigh

Bone-in chicken is cheaper than ones are which have been de-boned for you, so it is well worth learning how to take the bones out of your own. Taking the bone out of a chicken thigh is simple and it also means the chicken will have a shorter cooking time. If you are cutting up a whole chicken, you will need a sharp knife to slice through the joint where the drumstick meets the thigh. You will find the cartilage very soft so it is easy to cut.

Bone the drumstick using the same method as you used for the thigh. Cut along the top of the bone and slice deeply until the knife is touching the bone. You will be able to see the white bone in the cut you have made. Pull the bone upwards and away from the chicken thigh.

Cut into the chicken some more, so that you can remove the bone altogether. You will probably have to slice some more of the meat off the bone so you can get it out. Keep slicing away bits of sinew, tendons and skin until you have a boneless thigh.

Recipe for Crockpot Chicken Thighs in an Herby Orange Sauce

This is such a simple recipe and the fact that you can use a slow cooker means that you can leave this recipe to cook by itself all day while you are out. Serve this tangy citrus chicken dish with noodles or rice and perhaps some broccoli or beans on the side. This recipe serves four people.

You will need:

2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken thighs, in 1 inch pieces
Juice from 1 orange
Zest from 2 oranges
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary
4 slices crumbled, cooked lean bacon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
2 crushed garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
3 peeled, diced carrots
1 chopped onion
14 1/2 oz can diced peeled tomatoes
6 oz can tomato paste

How to make it:

Remove any visible fat from the chicken, then combine it with the orange juice and half the zest, tomatoes and their liquid, oregano, thyme, pepper, garlic, rosemary, onion, carrot, basil and tomato paste in a three and a half quart crockpot. Cover and cook on "low" for about six hours or until the chicken thighs are cooked through. Stir in the rest of the orange zest, the lemon juice, and sugar. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the finished dish.

There are many grilled chicken recipes that you can make with boneless chicken. Perhaps you fancy trying an international dish like easy chicken enchiladas and these recipes are so quick and easy.

Healthy Homemade Dog Food Recipes For a Dog With Allergies

If your dog has the misfortune of having allergies then it important to find healthy homemade dog food recipes that will help control its itch. There are some recipes that contain ingredients that help control its desire to itch. But before trying any recipes, it is important to take the affected dog to the vet to find out what is causing the allergy in the dog.

If the cause of the allergy is not based on food then these recipes may actually help control the itch. But if the cause is diagnosed to be based on specific types of food, then be on the lookout for these ingredients and be sure not to include them in any homemade dog food.

One of the safer recipes for dogs with allergies has the following ingredients: 3 lbs ground beef, 3-16oz cans of tomatoes, 2 cups corn meal (white or yellow), 2 cups Wheatena, 3 eggs, Up to 2 cups water as needed. The procedure for the preparation is as follows: Mix the ingredients together as you would a regular meat loaf, then bake in a loaf pan in a pre-heated 345 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Feed when cold. It might help to add some suitable multi-vitamin supplement.

Feed this diet for a month and compare the dog's condition at the end of the month to see if the dog food has been beneficial or not to the dog with allergies. Make sure to stay away from salt as adding too much salt has been associated with outbreaks of skin irritation. Dogs with persistent dry skin and skin irritations might well benefit by being given purified low sodium water to drink.

Another dog owner who owns a dog with allergies was kind enough to share healthy homemade dog food recipes that worked for her. She prepared a stew with only lean chicken meat and potatoes as ingredients. She fed this food to her dog as a start and managed to observe that her dog's condition began to improve. After this, she started to include vegetables and barley into the stew. Through time, she was able to take her dog out of commercial dog foods and only served the dog with this mixture of this homemade dog food. Not only did it solve the allergy, also it helped to keep her dog healthy and energetic.

It has also been found that venison is a type of meat that is low-allergy for the dog. It might help to prepare a homemade recipe that uses this type of meat. Also, duck is known to be hypoallergenic or free from allergens, the chemicals that cause allergies. It might also be helpful to the dog if a homemade dog recipe will incorporate or be solely based on duck meat.

Although a bit expensive than chicken, turkey are known to be helpful to dogs with allergies. A simple homemade recipe will simply call for ground turkey rolls, carrots and green beans. Mix these three together and feed them to the dog. Dogs are known to love this food.

These are just some helpful tips that will help a dog that is suffering from itchiness brought by allergies. Before anyone tries them though, it helps if they are housed in a clean environment. For all we know, the itchiness may be the result of needing a good bath!

Melinda Smith loves animals and is concerned that the commercial pet food conglomerates have convinced the majority of pet owners to feed their pets commercial pet food that is made up of very questionable ingredients, and cooked in a way that strips out practically all the nutrients that may have been there. Melinda believes that all dogs deserve to be fed homemade dog food.

German Sausage Recipes

Today I decided to cook sausages in a new unusual way. This first recipe I have here is how to cook sausages from mincemeat in cheese. I found these German sausage recipes long time and haven't told you yet. I cook these sausages often enough. It is kind of cutlets, but the taste differs. Even my mother-in-law-German has found them on a level! I hope you will like this recipe too. Bon appetite!

Components: the Mincemeat, Onion, Bread, Salt, Pepper, 1-2 eggs, Grated cheese.

Firstly, make minced meat as you do it normally for cutlets with onions, bread and spices. Then, divide minced meat into small ball and form a shape of sausages. Now it is time to take eggs and shake up a few times, add salt, pepper. Grate your favorite cheese on a large grater. Put every sausage once in egg then in cheese and fry on vegetable oil until ready.

Just with regular supermarket sausages it is very easy to cook wonderful exotic sausages. A few more tasty ideas. Fry sausages with chopped apples and with fresh sage. Sounds strange? But it tastes great! Well, and here is another interesting way of cooking sausages -- marinade sausages in beer, butter, chili and honey. Then fry as usual. You will love it!

One of my favorite ways to cook sausages is in oven. Wrap sausages into aluminum foil, place in oven for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare mash potatoes with fresh chopped onion. Serve it together with sausages. Add some spices on your taste. I recommend to enjoy these sausages with lite cold beer.

3 Cheap Meals Using Ground Beef Recipes

Most of us are always looking for cheaper ways to feed out families but still giving them meals they will eat and enjoy. These simple ground beef recipes, not only gives a family of 4, three hardy meals but will leave them wanting more.

This one basic recipe, using 2 pounds of ground meat, can do 3 meals for a family of 4. You will need to divide your meat into these portions.

[1] use one pound of meat for the meat loaf
[2] use 3/4 pound of meat for meat balls [12-14 small]
[3] add 1/4 pound of meat to the basic red sauce recipe for meat sauce.

You can mix the meatloaf and meat ball recipe at the same time. Use one for tonight's dinner, then freeze and save the other for dinner later in the week.

Using a medium bowl, mix 1 3/4 pounds of ground meat, one 14 oz can of sloppy joe sauce. I have found using my hands will get this job done in a jiffy. If the mixture feels a little dry, add 1/4 cup ketchup. When you have finished mixing, place one pound meat in a small loaf pan. Pat down the top, forcing any air pockets out of the mixture. Leaving the air in the loaf will cause uneven cooking and take away from the visual effect of your food. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of ketchup over the top of the meat loaf, then place in a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes before placing it on a serving platter and cutting. [serves 4]

Taking the remaining 3/4 of the meat mixture, and begin making walnut size meat balls. It should make between 12-14 balls. When you are done making the meat balls, you will need to roll them in 1/2 cup of Italian Bread crumbs. The crumbs will help hold them together during the cooking process.

Heat one inch of oil in a heavy skillet, set to medium high. The oil should be hot enough to cause a sizzle if a small amount of water is dropped into it. Place the meat balls into the oil slowly as you do not want to be splattered with hot oil. Leave room around the meat balls so you can turn them for cooking on all sides. When they have been browned on all sides [about a minute for each side] place them on a paper towel or brown paper bag to drain. Repeat until all meatballs are cooked.

These can be cooled and frozen for future use, such as Meatball Subs.

Meat Sauce instructions...

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil [olive oil, canola, or vegetable] in a large skillet.

Add 1/2 cup chopped onions, 1/4 cup chopped red or green peppers, 1/4 cup finely chopped celery, 2 cloves minced garlic and cook until the onions are translucent. Stir often, so the garlic will not burn.

Add 1/4 pound ground meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks until it has turned browned. Add 1 teaspoon Italian spices, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 six ounce can of tomato paste, one 11 ounce can of diced tomatoes plus one can of water and one teaspoon sugar. Stirring to mingle flavors, let simmer until it gets to the thickness you like.

Easy Meatloaf Recipes to Simplify Your Life

You have a busy life. We all do. Very few of us have time to plan elaborate dinners every night of the week. Meatloaf may not be a glamorous meal, but is satisfying, and can be healthy at times. It is also easy to fix, and it is something your family and friends would eat for dinner. For pure alliteration, we suggest that you have Meatloaf on Mondays, and we will call it Meatloaf Monday. If you observe Meatless Monday, then pick a different day. However, Meatloaf Thursday just doesn't have the same ring to it. Once you have chosen a day, you will need some Easy Meatloaf Recipes to get started. Try choosing four or five meatloaf recipes, so each week of the month is a little different.

Meal planning takes a lot of time and effort. Eating out all the time gets expensive, plus you have the hassle of choosing a restaurant, driving across town to the latest trendy place, only to find out that their pasta tastes like shoelaces. Meatloaf is simple. If you commit to one night a week to have meatloaf at home, you don't need to drive all over town, and the cost is very reasonable. In most cases, you can prepare it ahead of time, and just pop it in the oven when you come home from work.

Here is an Easy Meatloaf Recipe for the busy cook who wants to keep it simple, or the inexperienced cook who needs some guidance. Follow the step-by-step instructions to create a great meatloaf next Monday.

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup chopped onion

1/3 Cup Milk

1/4 Cup Bread Crumbs

1 egg, beaten

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar (for topping)

3/4 Cup Catsup (for topping)

Preparation:

• Set your oven to 350o to start preheating it for baking.

• Get a medium to large mixing bowl and put the ground beef in the bowl.

• Using a large knife, slice one small onion or about half of a large onion. After slicing the onion, chop the rings into small pieces about ¼ to ½ inches long. When the onion is chopped, measure ½ cup and put it in the bowl with the meat.

• Measure out 1/3 Cup Milk, ¼ Cup Bread Crumbs and 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce and put them in the bowl with the meat.

• Break an egg into a small bowl, beat it with a wire whisk (or a fork) until the yolk and the white are blended together. Pour the egg into the bowl with the meat.

• Now the fun part - use your hands to blend all the ingredients together to form a loaf. It should stick together well, and it will look like a small loaf of bread. If it is not sticking together, add a little more bread crumbs, but go sparingly, as too many bread crumbs will make it too dry. Place the loaf into a loaf pan (these pans are sometimes used for making bread).

• Combine 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar and ¾ Cup Catsup in a small bowl. Blend them together with a wire whisk (or a fork) until it is a smooth mixture and you can no longer see the Brown Sugar. Spread this mixture over the loaf you formed above.

• Place in oven and bake at 350o for 45 minutes.

• When it is cooked, remove from the oven and let it set for about 5 minutes, then drain any excess juice from the pan before removing the meatloaf.

Look for a website that has several good recipes for meatloaf with simple, easy to understand instructions. One of my favorites is a Healthy Meatloaf Recipe with Turkey and Spinach. While I love the traditional meatloaf recipes, this one is delicious, and it is healthier. Experiment with different easy meatloaf recipes to see which one you like best. The good part is that none of them are bad - they are all delicious and easy to make.

You may want an Easy Meatloaf Recipe with Oatmeal instead of using Bread Crumbs; or you might like more traditional Meatloaf Recipe with Pork and Beef. It is important to try them all to see what you like. After a while, you can experiment with various seasonings to find what tastes best to you and your family. A little thyme or some oregano might tantalize the taste buds of your family.

If you really want to simplify your life, make the commitment today to have meatloaf once a week. It takes minimal planning, and you often have all the ingredients you need right in your kitchen. Use a good grade of meat, and choose a good recipe to get you started. Most Easy Meatloaf Recipes take about a half hour to prepare, and an hour or so to cook. You can make the side dishes and set the table while it is cooking.

Side dishes are important. Depending on the season, we suggest a tossed salad with fresh green beans and potatoes in the spring and early summer. Corn-on-the cob is good with Cole slaw, and you can serve canned vegetables in the winter, such as corn, beans or peas.

Make up your mind, and get started today. Keep it simple. Let's make Meatloaf Monday a tradition.

Recipes Fast and Easy

There is nothing more satisfying at the end of the day than sitting down with your loved ones (or even by yourself, really) and enjoying a tasty and satisfying meal. Of course, the problem often arises when you are tired after working and running errands all day, because then you don't really feel like taking an hour or more to cook dinner. Well, rather than picking up the phone to order takeout or going through the drive-thru as you come home, try some of these fast and easy recipes.

· Creamy celery chicken breasts. All you do is put a few boneless skinless chicken breasts in a good-sized skillet. Add a can of cream of celery soup and half a can of water. Cover and let the chicken simmer until cooked through. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
 
· Mini meatloafs. This is simply a variation on traditional meatloaf; it is faster and easier because rather than having one big loaf, you shape the meat into individual sized meatloafs. They cook faster and are more fun to eat. Simply cut up half an onion and add it to the meat. Add a raw egg and enough breadcrumbs to make the meat stick together. Mix well with your hands and shape into individual-sized portions. Mini loaf pans work very well. Bake at 350 for about 20 to 30 minutes. Serve this entrée with your favorite sides.
 
·Baked ziti. Boil a package of ziti noodles. Brown a pound of ground beef in a skillet with green pepper, onion, and a tablespoonful of Italian seasoning. Put the drained noodles in a bake pan. Add meat mixture and stir up. Cover with mozzarella cheese and a jar of spaghetti sauce. Bake in 350 degree oven until cheese melts.

Recipes For Meatloaf

Recipes For Meatloaf

As as  The actual Recipes For Meatloaf vary widely because of its long history, but the hearty home-cooked taste and ease of preparation is something that always stays the same. Ground meat, as the name ‘meatloaf’ suggests, is the main ingredient. Although most are made using ground beef, Recipes For Meatloaf sometimes call for pork or a combination of ground beef and lamb.

There are as many variations on meatloaf recipes as there are cooks who make it. A mixture of the meat and various other ingredients is traditionally pressed into a loaf pan or flat baking pan and baked to a browned perfection. American meatloaf is usually topped with ketchup when served, but recipe variations that throw in Italian spices are often topped up with tomato sauce instead.

Recipes For Meatloaf might suggest any number of ingredients as a binder for the ground meat. Consider the traditional breadcrumbs and eggs (softer breadcrumbs for meatloaf that is moister), or perhaps small pieces of bread soaked in a flavoring liquid such as red wine or milk. Other options could be finely ground oatmeal, almonds or wheat germ. One can also decrease the calories in their meatloaf by using grated carrots or potatoes in place of a portion of the meat.

Once the  in Recipes For Meatloaf with a more international leaning will recommend ingredients as varied as olives, corn, bell pepper, or mushrooms.

In terms of the spices to use, one will find so many alternatives recommended by the different Recipes For Meatloaf that his or her biggest challenge will be choosing which one they’d like to try first! From Italian to Cajun, from German to Mexican, it is clear that meatloaf has over the years been assimilated into the culinary choices of almost every cuisine.

Once one has chosen the perfect meatloaf recipe, it’s time to decide how their perfect meatloaf will be prepared. The traditional loaf pan is always an option, but so are muffin tins or mini-loaf pans if one is looking to make single-serving portions. Some lower calorie meatloaf recipes suggest piercing holes into the bottom of an inexpensive loaf pan and baking loaf with the pan on another tray to catch the drippings so that it no longer remains in the meatloaf; and for very quick meatloaf, one can even use their microwave to prepare the dinner.

For years, meatloaf has held its own on the dining tables of families all over America. The Recipes For Meatloaf have evolved over time integrating different cultural and personal preferences. However, the important elements have remained the same- a simple, balanced meal that’s easy on the wallet and good on the taste buds.
