BBQ Chicken Sandwhich with Sweet Potato French Fries

Dear Viewers,
Sorry for the delay with recipes. Life has been a whirlwind and I just found the ground again! Tune in on Saturday for a new Weekly Menu!
Today's Feature is the BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Sweet Potato French Fries
BBQ Chicken Sandwich
Serves 4
2 Large Chicken Breasts (marinate in BBQ sauce for 30 minutes)
1 Red onion sliced in rings
1 sliced Avocado
4 slices of Provolone Cheese
1 large Tomato
2 Tablespoons Garlic Mayonnaise (for 1/4 cup mayo mix in 1 large roasted clove of garlic)
Toast your favorite buns, and assemble your Sandwich. I always coat both sides of the the bread, to get that yummy garlic taste. You can add anything else you want to this Sandwich.
Sweet Potato French Fries
1 Large Sweet Potato
1 Large Russet Potato
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 twigs of Thyme
salt and pepper to taste
Clean and peal your potatoes, and slice in long thin strips. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Thyme, salt and pepper. Roast in 400 degree oven for 15-25 minutes, until fork tender!
****I like to serve with Raspberry Katchup. Mix 3 tablespoons Katchup to 1 tablespoon Raspberry Jam, and one dash of hot sauce! LOVE IT!

Potato Soup

A CLASSIC FAMILY FAVORITE


Potato Soup

1 cup of celery chopped
1 cup onion chopped
1 clove garlic
1.5 cup potato
1 can chicken broth (H20 is okay too, just less-flavor)
6 tablespoons butter
¼ cup flour
1 pt cream
green onion for garnish
1 cup grated cheese

Sauté the veggies in a sauce pan with 3 tablespoons butter (or olive oil!) When onions are translucent add your chopped potatoes, it works best if they are choped in 1/2 inch cubes. Cover with liquid, broth or water, until potatoes are just covered. Boil until potatoes are fork tender.


In a different sauce pan melt 3 tablespoons softened butter add flour to make a roux. Add the cream and Wisk it adding 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar. Bring to a boil until thick. Add in veggies with liquid and bring to a simmer.


Serve with Cheese and Green onion...and some yummy crusty bread! Or serve in a bread bowl!


LIGHTER OPTION?!?!

If you want to cut some of the fat, half the roux and cream portion. Then take 2 cups of your boiled veggies and put them in your blender and puree until nice and smooth. This will add thickness and creaminess without all the FAT!!
