Garlic potato wedges and beer crock pot chicken

So I stole both of these recipes off of pinterest but I modified them both a little.
The potatoes are time consuming to make but I have a feeling there's a much easier and faster way to do it.

The first thing you want to do is take your frozen chicken legs and put them in your crock pot on high.
Pour one can of beef into the crock pot (any kind, I used bud) and add species such as garlic salt, lemon pepper, steak spice, BBQ chicken flavour, whatever you like.
Leave the chicken to cook for about 5 hours.

For the potatoes, start by cutting up 4-6 medium sized potatoes into wedges.

Chop up 8 garlic cloves and put them in a large bowl. Add 6 tablespoons of olive oil and microwave for about one minute. Remove 5 tablespoons of the olive oil and use it to coat the pan. You may want to put some paper down as they tend to stick pretty bad.

Put the potatoes in the bowl with the rest of the olive oil and garlic and toss to coat. You may have to add some more oil.

The next part of the recipe I used says to microwave the potatoes next, but I'm not sure this is necessary. It says to do so for about 6 minutes, tossing half way through.

Next it says to add 3-4 tablespoons of baking powder, some garlic salt, sea salt and pepper and toss to coat. This is to make them crispy, however I find it has an unpleasant taste so I used parky bread crumbs with a small amount of baking powder.

Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and bake at 425 for about 30 minutes.

Once the chicken is done, if it is not crispy on the outside, place the chicken on a baking sheet and cook in oven on broil until the chicken has crisped up.

Pierogies and Scrambled Eggs

Image
I absolutely LOVE pierogies, but I've always made them the same way; boil and then fry them. So this time, I decided to try something new, and pair them with some scrambled eggs for breakfast (or lunch). You will need: Ready-made pierogies (or home made, if you prefer)\ BBQ chicken seasoning Garlic salt Celery salt Two eggs (per person, I only made for me :P) 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese Butter or Pam for greasing the pan First, boil the pierogies until they are soft (cooked inside and no longer frozen). Grease a baking pan and place the pierogies on the pan. Sprinkle with chicken, celery and garlic seasoning on both sides and top with some mozzarella cheese. Broil for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and pierogies have become slightly browned.  To make the eggs, crack them and put them in a small bowl, add a splash of milk, some BBQ seasoning, and the rest of the cheese, and mix until the eggs are all mixed together. Put in a frying pan stirring often to...

Garlic Basil Chicken with Tomato Butter Sauce (stolen and revised)

So I started off cooking this meal exactly as the recipe stated, but I didn't have all the exact ingredients, and the flavours just weren't where I wanted them to be, so I made some changes. I'll post the link to the original recipe, and then write out what I did below. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures this time! The only downfall of this recipe is that it's a bit time-consuming. However, you could always cook the chicken ahead of time, which would help. Original recipe is here . INGREDIENTS 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts salt and pepper 2 tsp garlic salt 2 tsp lemon pepper 2 tsp paprika 1/4 cup of half&half cream ¼ cup olive oil 5-6 roma tomatoes, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 small white onion, minced 3 tbsp dried basic  ¼ cup margerine 8 ounces pasta, like spaghetti, linguine, or bucatini (I used spaghettini) 1/2 cup of mushroom Ragu (if needed) INSTRUCTIONS Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound each p...

Savoury Teriyaki Chicken and Veggies

Image
This a good meal even if you're only cooking for one or two. I work nights, so single meals are important for me. I also LOVE teriyaki chicken. You can get teriyaki sauce at pretty much any grocery store in the international isle, or an Asian grocery store. You can also make it, if you're feeling ambitious. That recipe can be found via google or any of my previous teriyaki chicken recipes. What you need for one LARGE serving: 1 medium chicken breast (can be pre-cooked or left over) 1 cup of the rice of your choice (I like sticky rice) cooked accordingly 1/2 - 1 cup of teriyaki sauce A pinch each of garlic salt, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper seasoning 1.5 tablespoons of cooking oil 1/3 of a white onion, chopped or sliced 1 garlic clove, minced Any other veggies you enjoy in a stir fry Cook your rice according to the type of rice. While you're doing this, begin sautéing your onion and garlic in the olive oil until the onion is transparent. Cut the chicken brea...
