Chicken Dinners with Katy

By now I'm sure that most of you know my dear bloggy friend Katy from Food for a Hungry Soul. I can't talk about Katy without just gushing, she so full of happiness and love that reading her blog is like being wrapped in a warm blanket (I told you I was going to gush!). And not only that, but her recipes are always fantastic.

So she definitely came to the rescue, not once, but TWICE a few weeks ago when I was in need of some great chicken recipes. I had a freezer full of chicken thighs and needed some great ways to use them. The first thing I made was this.

It's called Simply Great Chicken, which is exactly what it is. It involves three ingredients, and about five minutes to prepare for a chicken dish that my husband immediately requested again. It's sweet, tangy and a definite repeat. Check out her recipe here.

And only a few days later I pulled out more chicken thighs and made this delicious dish.

This is Slow Cooked Ginger Orange Chicken, and it is delicious! I've made quite a few orange chickens in the past, and this is my favorite. It's healthy, rich and has a wonderful citrus flavor. It also teases you all day with it's amazing aroma as it cooks. Go here for the recipe.

Thanks so much Katy! Keep those fantastic dishes coming, we have loved them!
