-Bomb Chicken- If you're looking for an easy sweet and spicy chicken recipe, I'm your new best friend.   1.5 Cups of Veri Veri Teriyaki  2/3 Cup of Brown Sugar   3 or 4 Cloves of Crushed Garlic Ground Cayenne Pepper to taste. If you like a little kick, go crazy with this stuff. If spicy food isn't your thing, leave it out. Combine all of the above in saute pan on medium heat until sugar fully  dissolves. Add about 1 lb. of boneless skinless chicken breast tenders to sauce. Flip tenders every few minutes until cooked. I like to mix in cooked broccoli and/or chopped carrots, put it over brown rice, and BOOM you have a complete meal.  Yum.

As I am still new to this whole "cooking" thing, I tend to choose recipes that don't call for cooking-common-sense. Unlike my extremely talented Mom and Brother, I'm horrible at using my imagination when it comes to preparing a meal.  But I'm working on it. Last night I gave this recipe a go: Jalapeno Popper Chicken It was REALLY easy (even for me) and super delicious. It's one of those comfort foods though so I wouldn't recommend it for the calorie counter. First:  Mix 8 oz of cream cheese,  1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese  diced jalapenos  (however hot you want it) Take one boneless skinless thin sliced chicken breast  cover the outer side of it with panko bread crumbs, slap on some of your cream cheese mixture, wrap,  and stick with a toothpick. Bake at 375 for approximately 45 minutes or until cooked. See how easy that was?  * if you want a little extra flavor you can add salt, pepper
