Are you tired of the same old chicken dishes? Me too! This is so simple with a little different flavor that has some heat! If you don’t like heat this is not the dish for you! We love bold flavors in our house and I can’t wait till the weather gets a little warmer and make this on the grill!
INGREDIENTS
2 Tablespoons olive oil
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (or combo)
3/4 cup of vidalia onion BBQ sauce (or your favorite)
2 Tablespoon of sriracha sauce
salt to taste
pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Stir together BBQ sauce and sriracha sauce and set aside. Heat oil in a large oven proof skillet over medium/ high heat. (If you don’t have an oven proof skillet just transfer the chicken to a baking dish before placing the chicken in the oven). Add the chicken to the skillet and brown the chicken three to four minutes on each side, brush the chicken with the sauce covering both sides of the chicken. Place the oven proof skillet or the baking dish in the oven to finish cooking. Bake until juices run clear, mine took about 15 minutes.

We have all seen the smokies wrapped in crescent dough. Well if you like those you are going to LOVE these. These little bite size treats are so good. I used a sweet pineapple sausage with uncured bacon so I had the sweet flavor from the sausage and a crispy texture from the pastry. I did not serve this with a dipping sauce but if you use a spicy sausage you could certainly add a dipping sauce. Maybe a honey mustard sauce or a sweet and sour sauce. This recipe is so versatile, you can make some sweet and some spicy any way you want it ! You are going to love this recipe!
INGREDIENTS
One sheet of puff Pastry
three sausages (your choice sweet or hot)
1 egg yolk
1 Tablespoon of water
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Open up the thawed puff pastry and slice into three pieces following the fold marks on the pastry. Taking one section at a time, roll the dough out on a clean work surface dusted with a slight bit of flour. Roll the dough out so it is long enough to wrap completely around the sausage. Before rolling the sausage in the pastry, mix the egg and water together and brush this along the edge of the pastry all the way around. Now wrap the sausage completely in the pastry and put in the freezer for about ten minutes and continue with the following two pieces of pastry placing them in the freezer when they are wrapped. After ten minutes take the sausages out and slice them into about 1 inch slice and place each piece in a mini muffin tin with the cut side up. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden. Serve warm.

This appetizer was so pretty and full of flavor. I am looking forward to making this again! This recipe uses a puff party and if you have ever bought a box of puff pastry you get two sheets in the box so stay tuned tomorrow for another simple recipe to use up that pastry!
INGREDIENTS
3 Tablespoons of olive oil
1 large onion thinly sliced
1 sheet of puff pastry thawed
flour for dusting
1 bunch of asparagus
2 small handfuls of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 cup or so of goat cheese
one pinch of sea salt
1/2 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat, add the onion and cook stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the onions for ten more minutes and remove from the heat.
Dust a clean work surface with some flour and open your thawed puff pastry and roll the dough out to 9 x 11. Place the dough on a foil lined baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Top the dough with the onions, tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese. Sprinkle the entire tart with a pinch of sea salt. Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes watching the last few minutes as to not burn the pastry. Just before the tart is done drizzle with the balsamic vinegar. Let cool for a few minutes before cutting.
