You’re in for a treat with this incredible chicken breast meal inspired by a German classic, with a touch of my own twist. This dish combines the tantalizing flavors of honey and apple cider vinegar, perfectly complemented by baked beans as a side. Get ready to savor a dish like no other. Here’s what you’ll need: Ingredients: 5 chicken breasts 1/4 cup of raw honey (you can also use maple syrup) 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar Salt and pepper to taste Green onions with their stems Butter Olive oil All-purpose flour 5 cloves of diced garlic (fresh is best) Instructions: Let’s start by prepping everything. Begin with the chicken breasts. Clean and pat them dry. Then, for a unique presentation, slice each breast at a 45-degree angle, not cutting all the way through, keeping the breast in one piece. Turn the breast and slice in the opposite direction at another 45-degree angle, creating cubes while keeping the breast whole. This not only looks great but allows the flavors to penetrate better. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides. In a separate bowl, place some all-purpose flour and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Coat each chicken breast evenly with the flour mixture. This step will add a delightful crispy texture to the chicken. In a frying pan, heat two tablespoons of butter and roughly the same amount of olive oil over high heat. When the butter starts to sizzle and smoke slightly, reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the diced garlic to the pan and cook for about 90 seconds until fragrant. Now, gently place each flour-coated chicken breast into the frying pan. Allow them to brown on one side for about three minutes, then turn and repeat on the other side. This initial browning step seals in the juices and builds flavor. Flip the chicken breasts back to where the slit sides are facing up. Now, it’s time to add your apple cider vinegar and your honey (or maple syrup). Stir well to combine. The sauce will thicken around the chicken, creating a luscious glaze. To add an extra layer of richness, throw in another clump of butter and season again with a pinch of salt and pepper. As the sauce is cooking around the chicken, tilt your pan and spoon the sauce over the top of each breast to coat them. Once you’ve achieved a thick and glossy glaze, sprinkle your chopped green onions over the chicken. These add a wonderful freshness to the dish. It’s time to plate it up. Serve the chicken with a generous spoonful of the honey-apple cider vinegar glaze. Paired with baked beans or your preferred side, you’re ready to enjoy a truly incredible meal. This honey-glazed chicken breast delight is a savory masterpiece, combining sweet and tangy flavors to perfection. Enjoy your culinary creation!

Clean the chicken breasts, slice them into cubes, and season them with salt and pepper to taste. In a frying pan, heat a small amount of olive oil and about two tablespoons of butter. Add your onions and let them sauté until they become translucent. Then add in the freshly diced garlic and stir well. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan over medium to medium-high heat. Stir until the chicken turns golden and is fully cooked. While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of water to boil, seasoning the water with a touch of olive oil, a little butter, salt, and pepper. Add your box of Fiber Gourmet Pasta Rice to boiling water, reduce heat and let it simmer for twenty minutes. Reduce the heat again and let it sit for another five minutes before draining. While everything is cooking, prepare your fresh broccoli by washing it well. For this recipe, keep the broccoli florets whole. Pour boiling water over them in a separate bowl to blanch them quickly. Once the chicken is fully cooked, you can adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as you stir. Then, add two eggs and stir until they start to resemble scrambled eggs. Add the bean sprouts and let them cook for about two minutes before adding the drained Fiber Gourmet Pasta Rice. Stir everything together. If needed, add a bit more butter to prevent sticking. Remember, we aim to keep it on the healthier side, so not too much butter. Now it’s time to add the steamed broccoli. Don’t let the broccoli sit in the hot water for more than four minutes to maintain that lovely crunch. At this point you want to also add your green onions. Stir and toss and let it all get in the frying pan mixture well. Plate it up, serve it, and enjoy your delicious and healthy Pasta Rice Stir Fry!

INTRODUCTION: If you're a fan of buttery, garlicky flavors with a spicy kick, this Spicey Garlic Butter Pasta recipe is just what you need. The dish is not only easy to prepare but also incredibly delicious. The secret to its exception taste lies in a few key ingredients and a simple cooking process. Let's get started! INGREDIENTS: 300 Grams of pasta: (Fiber Gourmet recommended) 1 tablespoon of salt 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 tablespoons of butter 5 garlic cloves, chopped. 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes (adjust to your preferred spice level) 1 teaspoon of mixed herbs Freshly grated Parmesan cheese Extra chili flakes for added spice (optional) INSTRUCTIONS: Boil the Pasta: Begin by Brining a kettle of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add one tablespoon of salt to the pot. Add 300 grams of your choice of pasta. For a healthier twist, we recommend using Fiber Gourmet pasta, which is a plant-based pasta and incredibly tasty. If you would like to check out Fiber Gourmet, hit this affiliate link. https://fibergourmet.com/discount/Dew1909 Note: I do get a commission if you use my link. But I truly love this stuff and thought what the heck if I'm promoting them, I should get a little something for it. Cook the pasta for about 8 minutes until it reaches Al Dente perfection. Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, drain off the water and set the pasta aside. Keep about a cup full of the pasta water for later use. 2. Create the Flavor Base: In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic cloves and sauté them until they become fragrant and slightly golden. 3. Add Some Spice: Now, it's time to add the chili flakes to the garlic and butter mixture. Adjust the quantity based on your heat tolerance. I used a half teaspoon. You do not need much. 4. Create a Flavorful Sauce: Pour in half a cup of the hot pasta water that you saved earlier. This starchy water will help create a silky sauce. Mix well and allow the mixture to come to a boil. This step infuses the sauce with the flavors of garlic and chili. 5. Combine the Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the frying pan, ensuring it's well-coated with the spicy garlic butter sauce. Toss everything together, allowing the pasta to absorb all of the delicious flavors on a low heat. 6. Finish with Herbs and Cheese: Sprinkle a teaspoon of mixed herbs over the pasta and add a half teaspoon of the chili flakes (adjust to your taste. Again, not much if at all here. Up to your tolerance) Frate fresh Parmesan cheese over the pasta and give it a good mix. The cheese will melt into the sauce, creating a rich and creamy texture. 7. Plate and Serve: Plate your Spicy Garlic Butter Pasta, making sure to garnish with more freshly grated Parmesan cheese and mixed herbs. If you're a real spice lover, at this point you can sprinkle some additional red chili pepper flakes on top. CONCLUSION: This Spicy Garlic Butter Pasta is a delectable combination of savory, buttery, garlicky, and spicy flavors. With Fiber Gourmet Pasta, you can enjoy a healthier twist without sacrificing taste. It's a quick and easy recipe that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

Hey there, fellow pasta lovers! We're Mike and John, many of you know us as the Godfather's Pizza guys or the Dew Chilli guys. Several of you got to know us through our TV show we did many moons ago called Mike and John's World. The show focused-on lifestyles. Featuring other businesses in Central Illinois and different things to do. Well, we've decided to bring back a version of that show through a blog, with the same mission to help. So, now that you have a little background let's get to what has prompted this post. We're going to talk about some personal things. John and I are two individuals who share a deep love for pasta, but at one point in our lives, we let our weight spiral out of control. John weighed 230 pounds, and I was at a staggering 426 pounds. Both of us had difficulty getting around. I more so than John. Because of my weight, I slept a lot, while trying to run a business. As I said it took its toll on both of us. Yes, we had let ourselves go. But today, thanks to our dedication and a little help from Nutrisystem, John is now weighing in at 200 pounds, and I've made significant progress at 322 pounds. We'll talk more about our Nutrisystem journey in future posts. This post is not about Nutrisystem. These days, the motionless days in the Laz-Z-Boy are gone. The pains of getting around are gone, and both of us are determined to not allow this to happen again. It took a health scare to wake us up and the love of Johns daughter Courtney, but while our journey isn't over, we are on the right path. We're excited to share something special with you that has been a game-changer in our weight loss journey. Soon, you'll be seeing some updated. pictures of us. I want to drop a little more. I don't look like this anymore. But first let's talk about Our Pasta Dilemma: As pasta lovers, we were disheartened to learn that our beloved pasta was not the healthiest option for our weight loss goals. We were determined to find a way to enjoy pasta while staying on track. That's when I (Mike) faced some health scares last year, and ended up in the hospital. That led John's daughter, Courtney, to give us a much-needed heart-to-heart talk about getting back on track. The Plant-Based Pasta Revelation: Courtney stepped in to prepare meals for us after I was released from the hospital. She brought over pasta. We were overjoyed, well that was until she revealed that it was plant-based pasta. To our surprise, we couldn't tell the difference in taste or texture. We were sold! John and I have been ordering this plant-based pasta ever since, and it has become an essential part of our weight loss journey. It comes in Penne, Spaghetti, Lasagna form and more. It's delivered right to our door in no time at all. The Health Benefits of Fiber: Now, let's talk about this fantastic pasta that has been a game-changer for us. One of its standout features is its high fiber content. Fiber is a crucial component of a healthy diet, and we want to share with you ten amazing health benefits of fiber: Healthy Weight Loss: Fiber helps you feel full, reducing overall calorie intake.

Hey there, fellow food enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the world of culinary delights with a simple yet incredibly satisfying dish that I like to call Stuffed Chicken Roll-Ups. So, roll up your sleeves, and let's get cooking together! Here is what you'll need: Ingredients: Three chicken breasts. 3 grams of salt 3 grams of oregano 3 grams of garlic powder 100 ML of vegetable oil 1 Egg 15 Grams of mustard 3 cloves of diced garlic 10 ML of vinegar 150 grams of mozzarella cheese 20 grams of fresh parsley About 20 grams of cheddar cheese Butter Chicken Broth READY? LET'S ROLL! Prep & Seasoning: Place one chicken breast at a time on a cutting board and cut it in half. Repeat with the other two breasts. Please each breast between parchment paper or a zip-log bag, ensuring they're folded at the top and bottom. Grab your meat mallet ( or a large spoon if you don't have one) and let's create some culinary music by gently pounding the chicken breasts until they're flat as seen here. Now, in a small bowl, mix together 3-grams each of coarse sea salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this flavorful seasoning over each flattened chicken half and rub it in thoroughly. Filling & Toppings: Now, let's prepare the sauce. In a blender, combine 100 ML of Oil, 1-egg, 15 grams of mustard, 3-4 cloves of diced garlic, a pinch of salt and 10 ML of vinegar. Blend it all until it turns into a creamy mixture. then spoon it over each piece of chicken. Save a little for later. Now in a separate bowl, mix 150 grams of mozzarella cheese and 20 grams of fresh parsley finely diced. Mix well then also spread this evenly over each chicken piece on top of the sauce you already spread over them. Let's Cook! Preheat your oven to 375-degrees and prep your baking pan while the oven heats up. I like to rub a bit of butter on the bottom of the pan, sprinkle some pepper, and add a touch of chicken broth to prevent sticking. Now Roll up your chicken pieces into beautiful rolls, once rolled secure them with a toothpick to keep them from unraveling. Spoon some additional sauce from the blender over each roll-up and place them in the oven for 35-45 minutes. Now let's start working on your Broccoli. While the chicken is baking, clean and cut up some fresh broccoli into whatever size you like. For this recipe I like to leave a stem on each piece, but I separate the pieces. Then place the pieces in a bowl. BUT WAIT! Don't put the Broccoli in the hot water until the chicken is nearly done. So, let's go back to the oven. After 35-45 minutes of baking remove the Baking Pan and Chicken Rolls from the oven. Top the chicken rolls with more of the Cheese mixture you used as the filling, but this time add a touch of cheddar as well. Return it to the oven for about 4 more minutes. By now you should have your water heating up for your Broccoli. I use this handy water heater, remember this from past recipes? Pour the water over the broccoli, letting it Soak for about 4 minutes. Never boil your Broccoli in hot water, always add hot water to your Broccoli. This keeps the broccoli crispy and packed with flavor instead of wilty, soggy and tasting like mush. Ok time now to plate it all up and enjoy. Again, I prep my plates, by putting a bit of butter, pepper and salt on the plate before I plate the food. This recipe was just enough for three people. The Stuffed Chicken Roll-Ups alongside the broccoli was out of this world. It's a simple dish that's oh-so satisfying! We enjoyed this for lunch today, but it's perfect for dinner too. You can even cook the chicken over a bed of potatoes or rice for a twist. Stay tuned for more tasty recipes at dewchilli.com Please don't hesitate to share your own creations with us. We'd love to feature them! Happy Cooking, Everyone!

This is one of my favorites. But before we get into the recipe a little background. John and I started working on losing weight. I'm going to tell you more about that in future posts. But being in the restaurant industry it's hard. We have to come up with different recipes all the time which means a lot of taste testing. That leads to weight gain. Anyway, we decided it was time to conquer our weight battle once and for all. We started with Nutri System. As we went down our weight loss path, we learned you can enhance the Nutri System Meals with a twist here and there and stay with the program. This is one of those recipes we enjoy weekly. John came up with it and it's Nutri System ok. This is what you'll need for Johns smothered Chicken Enchilada Delicious Dish. This will be for two people. Two Frozen Nutrisystem Chicken Enchiladas. One Can of Hunts diced tomatoes. No seasoning. One Can of Whole Tomatoes. Again, no seasoning. One Can of Black Beans Rinsed. Four tablespoons of Dew Chilli Seasoning Blend, or to your liking. One Small Onion Diced. John uses a sweet onion, but you can use your favorite. One Quarter Cup of Shredded Low Fat Cheddar Cheese One Pepper, color of your choice. First Pre-Heat your Oven to 375 Degrees. Then in a casserole dish add your One can of diced Tomato's One can of your Whole Tomato's, One can of your rinsed Black Beans and then your 4-table spoons of your Dew Chilli Seasoning. Mix that up well. Now cut your Pepper and Half and place over the mixture on each end of the dish. Then open up your 2 Nutri System Frozen Chicken Enchilada boxes. Place each Frozen Enchilada on top of each pepper. By placing it on top of the pepper you will be able to find it easier once it's all cooks. Now time to add your other toppings to this dish.

Just the other day I put out a challenge for you to whip up a recipe using Broccoli, Fresh Mushrooms an Onion, plus one Item of your choice and any seasoning to create a nice dish. I got a lot of responses, but one stood out. Deborah said, and I'm quoting, " I have tried twice to pair broccoli with onion and didn't like it. I won't do it again." Deborah, Deborah, Deborah never say never. So, I took her comment as a challenge to my original challenge and went to work. I must say I was worried because it's hard to cook an onion just right and pair it with something like Broccoli. First, I get all of my set up and prep done and seasonings in place. Coarse Sea Salt Fresh Black Pepper Dew Chili Seasoning Blend (doesn't taste like Chili don't let the name fool you. Low Sodium Soy Sauce Butter. Fresh Garlic Half a red onion Fresh Mushrooms Fresh Broccoli Mazzarella Cheese Slices Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The Item I picked to go with the Challenge? I'm going to use my left-over meatballs I made the other day. Remember the Spaghetti and Meatball dish? Just in case here is the link to that dish. https://www.dewchilliparlor.com/post/lady-and-the-tramp-would-be-proud First Chop up the onion and Slice at least 4 cloves of Garlic. I love Garlic. You can adjust. For the recipe I slice them and not dice the garlic. Helps in the flavor pairing with the onions. Then slice your Broccoli but leave some of the stems. Put some Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Butter into your frying pan. Add some Salt and Pepper and heat up. While you're letting that get hot remember this tool? This is my hot water heater. It's great, and fast. Fill it with water if you have one, if you don't just boil a pan of water. Then pour the hot water over your broccoli in a separate bowl and let stand for twelve minutes. Do not boil your broccoli on a stove top of boiling water. You want to add the water to the Broccoli. Big difference. Now add your onions to the frying pan. Keep moving the onions around in the butter, oil mixture. Once the onions start turning add your sliced garlic and continue to sauté. At this point I season with a little more salt and pepper and add more butter. Ok, now add in your sliced mushrooms and continue to sauté. Keep mixing for about four more minutes. Taste one of the mushrooms and make sure it is nice and tasty. At this point strain the water out of your Broccoli and put the Broccoli in your frying pan only for about a minute. Also add some soy sauce and mix. Remove everything from the frying pan and put back in your bowl. Add some butter and Dew Chili Seasoning Blend. You get the blend here or at your Hy-Vee, or County Market store locations. Shop | Dew Chilli | Chili Springfield, IL | Order our famous Chili online (dewchilliparlor.com) Keep in mind just because the word Chili is in the name, it does not mean it gives it a chili taste. That's the name of the company. This blend is great on all sorts of things and really adds a lot of flavors. Deb, remember your concerns about the onions? :) We are almost done. The meatballs should have already been placed in the oven at 425 degrees for 30 minutes. Before placing them in the oven season them slightly with the Dew Seasoning. In the last minute of baking take your cheese slices and place on each meatball, which are also slightly seasoned with the Dew Spice Blend. Let the cheese melt nicely and the only thing left is to get your plates ready. I always put a coating of Butter, Salt, Pepper and when needed Fresh Parsley as a bed on the plate before plating the food. Now it's time to enjoy, I finish it all off with a sprinkle of Parsley then serve it up. The flavors are fantastic, and the onions and Broccoli really paired well and complimented the dish. I hope you will give it a try.

Spaghetti and Meatballs. Who came up with it? So, we did a little digging to solve the mystery and also share a scrumptious dish with you. To solve the mystery, we turned to several Food News outlets. We came upon a writer and food news post called Gamero Rosso for the answer. So, before we share a great recipe, we thought it would be cool to see what the experts say about the popular dish Spaghetti and Meatballs. "Spaghetti and meatballs: is it really an insult to Italian cuisine? For years the famous (or infamous?) spaghetti and meatballs, ubiquitous in the United States, especially in Little Italy restaurants, have represented one of the many false myths of Italian gastronomy abroad, like fettuccine Alfredo, which are actually very Italian, born in Rome thanks to Alfredo Di Lelio in 1908 in his mother Angelina's restaurant in Piazza Rosa, where Galleria Alberto Sordi shopping hall stands today. The popularity of the dish, in this case, came a few years later thanks to the meeting with Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, silent film stars who tasted the dish in the restaurant in via della Scrofa opened by Alfredo in 1914. A similar case, albeit with the necessary differences, is spaghetti with meatballs, made famous by the 1955 Disney classic "Lady and the Tramp." Quoting a story from the Gambero Rosso page. Ok enough of the history lesson. Let's get to a really, really good recipe I'm anxious to share with you. It's one I took from different sources and did a little tweaking. As always, I like to get all my ingredients prepped and everything I need put in order, so cooking is made easier. One tip. Use Fresh ingredients whenever you can. Here is what you’ll need for the Meatballs. 1. One long loaf of Italian bread. 2. Two yellow onions. 3. Two garlic Cloves 4. One and half pounds of 90/10 ground Sirloin. 5. One and half pounds of 80/20 ground pork. 6. Four eggs. 7. Fresh Parsley 8. Rosemary. 9. Fresh basil. 10. Fresh parmesan Cheese. 11. Coarse sea salt. 12. Fresh black pepper. Here is what you’ll need for the pasta sauce. 1. Spaghetti. Because I’m working to lose weight. I use veggie-based pasta. Half the calories just as good. 2. Half of white onion. 3. Four fresh garlic cloves. 4. Fresh mushrooms with stems. 5. Fresh parsley. 6. I Coarse sea salt 7. Fresh black pepper. 8. Fresh Parm cheese. 9. Small can of tomato paste. 10. Small can of Whole tomatoes. 11. Small can of tomato sauce. 12. Red flake peppers. 12. Chicken broth. Ok let’s start with meatballs. 1. Take two thirds slice of bread put it in a deep pan and cover with water. Place a plate or something on top of bread to keep it submerged in the water for three to four minutes. 2. Take two small yellow onions and finely dice. Put in a large bowl. 3. Take two garlic cloves and dice. And the garlic to the bowl of onions. 4. Now take the soaking bread and break off handfuls of it. Squeeze as much water out each time adding the bread to your bowl. 5. Take you sirloin and pork and put in bowl. 6. Add four eggs to that bowl. 7. Now add parsley, basil and rosemary to bowl to taste I use more than less. 8. Add a cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese. 9. Add salt and pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Ok mix very well with clean hand. Really mix well. Very important. Now take a large or three small flat trays, I use the smaller ones because I freeze the meatballs I don’t use. Scoop out the product using and ice cream scoop. Using level scoops so each meatball is the same size. Place the meatballs on parchment paper lined trays. Preheat oven to 425 degrees bake for 30 minutes. Now for pasta. And my sauce. 1. Large frying pan. Put olive oil and a tablespoon spoon of butter. 2. Melt your butter. 3. Add your diced white onion and sauté. 4. Add your garlic and continue to sauté 5. Slice your mushrooms up and place in pan continue to sauté. At this point you want to add a half pound of ground sirloin in with your onions and mushrooms as a meat base for the sauce. Brown in your mixture. 6. Add a little more salt and pepper stir in. 7. Add tomato paste stir in add a bit of water, use the can, stir a bit more. Add a bit of chicken broth and stir it all in well. Reduce heat. 8. Now add your whole tomatoes and cut into them while cooking making them several pieces. 9. Add more salt, pepper and parm cheese and a tad of red pepper flakes. 10. Once cooked add in fresh chopped parsley. Reduce heat to a simmer put on lid. Cooking your pasta can be going on as well. 1. Boil water add salt black pepper a little butter and olive oil. 2. Add pasta once water is boiling. Do not break your pasta in half. Just work the pasta in water. Cook for nine minutes to an aldente. Drain water out put pasta back in bowl by itself with a lid. Now meatballs should be baked. This is option. You don’t have to do this step. Heat up some oil in a frying pan and place the meatballs in the hot oil for three minutes turning them until they get a slight crust. Take them out and place them in your sauce mixture cover and cook for three to four more minutes. Or just take them from the oven and cook in sauce without frying. Then remove the meatballs put them aside and replace them with your pasta in the saucepan. Turn the pasta until it’s well coated. Do not break the noodles. Now get your plates ready. I put butter salt and pepper and parm cheese on the plate first as a base. Now take tongs and grab some pasta and with a twisting move place it on your plates. Mounding the pasta. Now grab one, two or three meatballs. I used one. Place on pasta, add another layer of freshly grated parm cheese and parsley. NOW? Enjoy. I hope you enjoy this. Sounds like a lot, but not so difficult but is very good. Keep an eye out for more recipes here at dewchilli.com The next recipe is a challenge accepted. Let you see how that turned out.

It was just a typical day at the Dew. Gearing up for lunch and dinner then all of a sudden, the door swings open and two interesting guys walk in. We had no idea what to expect. Then we get a note that read the following. It’s safe to say I love chili. I grew up on sweet chili my grandma and subsequently my mom used to make. I thought that was it for me. Through the years, I’ve tried many; savory, sweet and spicy chilis and my love for that original sweet taste has never stopped being my favorite… until potentially recently. When my wife and I moved to Springfield, I was introduced to “Tavern Chili.” It’s a savory chili made with ”Suet,” which is fat from around the kidney. It is known for its flavor and definitely adds to the final product. I knew I liked the kind of chili but I hadn’t found my favorite until recently. My colleague and I went to DEW Chilli Parlor 2 in north Springfield. For me, it’s chili you don’t need anything else with to eat. It is just as good without cheese or sour cream. It’s the perfect balance of minced meat and savory “Suet” oil. It is a chili I will come back for without hesitation. Enjoy our trip documented below. Had a great time doing our thing there! https://youtu.be/PA_qkWEizTY Wow, thank you guys. Come again. Dewchilli.com
