Honey Garlic Drumsticks
Chicken DrumSticks
Honey Garlic Sauce

TIPS: If I did this again I would remove the skin before cooking.

Broccoli & Cheese stuffed Chicken Breasts
Chicken Breasts (cut thin)
Broccoli (I used frozen - slightly thawed)
Marble Cheddar
Bread crumbs & seasoning (I used Italian mix, garlic, salt & pepper)
Italian Dressing
Dip chicken breasts in Italian dressing and coat in seasoned bread crumbs.
Place in glass dish coated with cooking spray.
Place some cheese & broccoli in the centre and roll with the ends tucked under.
Bake on convection at 400 for about 30 minutes.
TIPS: I made a few pieces without the cheese for the hubby so I marked the ones that had cheese in them with a little piece of cheese on top. I also put the extra broccoli in the pan and baked it as well.
RESULTS: Enjoyed by all. The kido asked that it be separated out so the chicken was separate from the filling.

Homemade Mini Bugers
Lean ground beef
1 egg
Onion soup mix
Salt and pepper
BBQ sauce
Mini Burger Buns (I used the PC ones)
Mix together beef, egg, onion soup mix (to taste) & a shake of salt & pepper. Form into meat ball sized balls and flatten.
BBQ brushing with BBQ sauce once each side is grilled.
Toast mini buns on the BBQ for a couple minutes.
Assemble with cheese (if you like) and all the fixings.
TIPS: Burgers freeze well so make extras.
RESULTS: The hubby found them a little too oniony so I'll reduce the amount I used for next time. The kiddo loved that they were her size but only ate 1/2 of one.

Quick & Easy BBQ Chicken & Corn
This one is a bit simplistic but it works really well.
Chicken Breasts
BBQ Sauce (I used bullseye)
Corn on the cob
Chicken:
Coat chicken in sauce and let sit in frige for minimum of 15 minutes.
BBQ (baste with extra sauce while cooking)and enjoy.
Corn:
Clean & rinse corn cobs. Wrap in tin foil and place on the BBQ turning often.
TIPS: Use a temputure fork for the chicken. It gets dry if overcooked.
RESULTS: A success. No leftovers.

Beef Teriyaki with Cabbage & Rice
I can't remember the source for the original recipe. It was either the kraft whats cooking magazine or a sobey's calender.
Stirfry beef cut into strips (I used a fast fry cut)
Bag of coleslaw mix (found with the bagged salads)
Thin slices/grated Peppers & Carrots (this is optional and I didn't add them this time)
Teriyaki Sauce
Asian Sesame Dressing
Rice
Set rice to cook as per directions.
Fry beef in pan and remove once cooked as desired.
Drain pan.
Add coleslaw mix to pan and cook until softened, adding Teriyaki sauce and dressing in a 1:1 ratio (about 1/4 cup each).
Add beef back into the pan, toss to coat in sauce and cook until warm.
Serve over rice.
TIPS: If you like lots of sauce add a bit extra when you add the beef back in. This can also be made with ground beef (I did this once when I got two recipes mixed up) and still is quite yummy.
RESULTS: Enjoyed by everyone.
