BBQ Chili Pasta

Ingredients: 

1 (8oz.) Package of rotini pasta (I used macaroni since that was what I had on hand)

1 tbl. olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

8 ounces ground turkey (I usually just use the whole package)

1 8 ounce can of tomato sauce

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 15oz. can of corn (you could also use frozen)

1 tbl. chili powder

1 tbl. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 cup barbecue sauce

1. In a large pot cook pasta to al dente, drain.

2. In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until softened. Add ground turkey and cook through. Stir in chili powder, dried oregano, salt, corn, tomato sauce and BBQ sauce. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. 

3. In a large serving bowl, combine turkey mixture with pasta and serve immediately. 

This is a perfect weekday meal or addition to any cook out. 

Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

If you are looking for a new way to cook chicken try this out! I found it on Pinterest of course. 

(I know my pictures aren't that great but this was pretty yummy)

The recipe is originally from here.

Ingredients:

4 cloves of garlic

4 Tablespoons Butter

1 pound chicken breast (i used tenders)

salt and pepper to taste

6 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

Melt the butter in the frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and let brown a little. Then add the chicken and let cook thoroughly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as well. Flip the chicken and let both sides brown. When the chicken is cooked through add the brown sugar to the tops and let it melt into the chicken. About 5 Minutes. 

I will make this again for sure.
