Marie's Shepherd's Pie
This shepherd's pie with canned vegetables is a twist on the traditional shepherd's pie. I gathered ideas from family, friends, and other recipes to develop a different and tasty version of an old-time favorite. Everyone eats this up like it's a dessert!
Air Fryer Chicken Piccata with Lemon-Caper Sauce
The chicken is tender and juicy with a crispy breading with a peppery flavor. The sauce is acidic from the lemon juice and zest, with well-balanced flavors and a little brininess from the capers. The flavor from the garlic is present, but not overwhelming and works well with the lemon, white wine, and butter. Great with pasta, a side salad, or sauteed veggies.
Ultimate Creamy Chicken Enchiladas
This is like a creamy, cheesy, full-of-flavor-in-every-bite dish. The chicken is tender and moist and the tortillas are soft. The enchilada sauce is tangy and pungent and complements the creamy, rich filling so well. This is also great for entertaining because it can be fully assembled ahead of time or even frozen and cooked later. Serve with toppings such as salsa, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and jalapenos.
