Chicken and Sweet Potato Skillet Recipe – Easy Weeknight Meal

3 · · 1 Comment

Looking for a new easy weeknight meal? Your family is going to FALL in love with this tasty dish. Savor the flavors of fall with this one pot wonder.

Easy weeknight meal - Chicken and Sweet Potato Skillet

As my kiddos have gotten older, I have found that trying to plan family dinners is getting harder and harder. We have high school activities, church activities, homework, chores… The list goes on and on it seems.

It doesn’t help that I’m a busy at home, working mom and my sweet, hardworking husband works full-time and is going to school as well. Bottom line is, we’re BUSY!

I’ve tried to find ways to help speed-up the weeknight dinner scene and one of the ways that I’ve discovered is to either grill up a bunch of chicken on Sundays or grab a rotisserie chicken or two from the market each week. I can use that chicken to whip-up all kinds of great recipes.

With the Fall rapidly approaching, I thought it would be fun to come-up with a Mexican, Fall inspired dish. Not exactly traditional, but oh-so TASTY! Not only did I want it tasty, I wanted it to be a quick and scrumptious easy weeknight meal. Thank goodness for the help from my friends at Old El Paso! Have you tried their Chicken Taco Seasoning? It’s amazing!!

Green Chili and Salsa Egg Muffins Recipe

Always on the run in the morning? YEP, us too! Here’s how I figured out how to make a scrumptious egg muffins recipe for on-the-go!

Green Chili and Salsa Egg Muffins... Perfect for on the go from WhipperBerry

Call me crazy, but I’m not always up for sweets in the morning. I’m one of those people that do really well with some scrambled egg or something like that in the morning. Sadly, we don’t always have time to bust out a pan, whip up some eggs and scramble them before work and school. We needed a take-an-go option for eggs. I thought and egg muffins (minus the Mc) would be a great way to take scrambled eggs on the go. The bonus, you can make them days ahead and either refrigerate or freeze them.

They literally take just minutes to whip-up, then you bake them in the oven. Let them cool and I wrap them in wax paper or store them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to eat them, pop them in the microwave for 30-40 seconds and you have a GREAT breakfast on-the-go!

 Now the reason I came up with this was a silly little mix-up in my schedule. I FORGOT that I needed to bring treats to a gathering of friends and I needed something quick!

I know you’ve been there at one time or another. I’m never adverse to bringing something store-bought to a gathering, I just have to dress it up a bit to make it “look” homemade. That is exactly what I did that afternoon. I ran to the store and bought some cinnamon coffee cake muffins and brought them home to dress them up. I thought they would look good if I put them into some fancier wrappers and then topped them off with a little glaze. I looked into my refrigerator and found some International Delight Vanilla Macchiato Creamer and thought it would make a lovely glaze.

  1. Pour the powdered sugar into a small bowl, add salt and then slowly add the creamer until you get the consistency you would like.

 

 Yep, it’s as easy as that. Using the creamer rather than milk adds that lovely flavor from the creamer to your glaze. It’s extra special! I just drizzled the glaze over the store-bought muffins and voila, I have a great treat that looks homemade! Shhhh, no one needs to know your secret.

Grilled Pineapple Delight Boats - A tropical dessert from WhipperBerry

We’re a huge fan of pineapple at our house! That fresh tropical flavor is perfect with all kinds of dishes from savory to sweet. I especially LOVE to grill pineapple during the summer months. One night I was enjoying some grilled pineapple and started to dream up a fun new dessert that I just had to try. It’s a cross between a taco and a cheesecake. Yep, kind of crazy but once you try it… You’ll know it’s crazy awesome!!

I started with the base of the dessert by using our favorite Old El Paso Mini Taco Boats. It’s a perfect 2 bite dessert that’s perfect for a party. I coat the mini taco boats in cinnamon sugar and pop it in the oven for a few minutes. Then I fill them with a scrumptious cream cheese mixture that also involves marshmallow creme… Yep, now we’re talking! Top that with some grilled pineapple and you will be in heaven. Here’s how to make them.

Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 package of Old El Paso Mini Soft Tortilla Taco Boats
  • Cooking Spray
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
  • 2- 8 oz. packages of cream cheese - room temperature
  • 2- 7 oz jars of marshmallow creme
  • ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 pineapple
  • 12 blackberries - optional
  • ⅛ cup of toasted unsweetened coconut - optional
Instructions
  2. Prepare Mini Taco Boats first by preheating the oven to 400˚ then place Mini Taco Boats on a parchment lined baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
  4. Coat each of the Mini Taco Boats with cinnamon sugar.
  6. Place in the oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  8. While the Mini Taco Boats are cooling, place the cream cheese, marshmallow creme, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla into a large mixing bowl and mix starting on the lowest speed and gradually increase the speed until the ingredients are fully combined. If you aren’t using this right away, you’ll want to place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  9. Cut pineapple into roughly 1 inch wedges about a ½ and inch thick. Grill on a grill pan for 1 minute on each side or until you see some grill marks appearing. Remove from grill and let cool completely.
  11. To assemble your dessert either spoon or pipe your filling into the Mini Taco Boats, top with a couple of slices of pineapple, a blackberry and garnish with toasted coconut.
