Yesterday we made a barbecued a chicken on the grill that turned out delicious. We had so much leftover and sometimes we don’t want to eat just the chicken. So I told my husband, I would find a way to eat the leftovers in different ways. So tonight we had a homemade pesto chicken pizza. It was so awesome! I love pesto. So when you combine pesto with bread, you are in for a real treat.
Check out how amazing the pizza looked:
I have never been a big fan of leftovers. Maybe it’s because I was used to just reheating it and serving it the same that you ate it the night before. It must have been food boredom. So I am trying to realize the importance of leftovers. Most of the time I put the leftovers safely in a Tupperware and then to the refrigerator. Then I make my husband take the plain leftovers to work for lunch the next day.
I think it kind of hit me when I realized how much money we could save by reusing leftover food. We are trying to budget out grocery bill more and this is a perfect opportunity. Sometimes we run out to the grocery store on work nights and end up dropping $30! So many times I wonder, how did we just spend that?!?! So hopefully by enjoying leftovers more often, I can help us save some money!
So stayed tuned tomorrow for leftovers in the form of chicken Panini sandwiches!
This entry is written by my husband because sometimes I like to give him credit for the delicious meals he creates!
As the chef in the family I felt it was my turn to weight in at Kimmy’s Kitchen.
Honestly, I’m loving the blog, I get to try all of the new recipes and, in my opinion, they have all turned out totally awesome and delicious (even the thin mints). Baking is definitely not my foray, but I love trying new grill and Italian recipe, so I’m going to try to guest blog from time to time.
My first guest post is a play on a recipe I learned from the caterer I used to work for. It’s pretty basic but always turns out pretty good. In the end, it’s mozzarella wrapped in a pounded out chicken breast and wrapped in prosciutto.
The recipe:
4 small chicken breasts
1/3 pound of prosciutto (thinly sliced)
2-3 slices of mozzarella per breast (more or less depending on preference)
4 cloves of garlic
4 sprigs of rosemary
1 dash of cracked black pepper (per breast)
(serves 4)
Pound out each chicken breast and roll up 2-3 slices of mozzarella in each breast. Wrap each breast with 2 slices of prosciutto. Insert the sprig of rosemary, and garnish each breast with a clove of minced garlic and a dash of cracked black pepper.
Throw on the grill (low heat), rotating each breast 1/3 of a turn and cooking for 6 min. on each side. Generally when the mozzarella starts to melt out the ends it should be close to done.
Enjoy!
