Texas Chicken Wraps

Monday Munchies, spicy recipes, Texas Pepper Jelly Texas Chicken Wraps are a quick, nutritious meal, and you can use up several leftovers in the making!

Ingredients:

6 flour tortillas (soft)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
dash of black pepper
12 oz. of skinless, boneless chicken breast strips (sliced VERY thin)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups shredded broccoli or broccoli slaw mix
1 medium onion, cut into very thin wedges
Texas Pepper Jelly, any flavor
Texas Rib Candy, any flavor

What to do:

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chicken, garlic powder, and pepper, tossing to coat evenly.

In a large skillet, heat the oil. Cook and stir seasoned chicken for 2-3 minutes or until no longer pink and raw-looking. Add the broccoli and onion to the skillet; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Now for the assembly – your family might want to help with this part! Spread each tortilla with a tablespoon of pepper jelly OR Rib Candy; alternate so there will be CHOICES!

Top with chicken strips and vegetable mixture. Roll up each tortilla, securing with a toothpick. If desired, heat in microwave for just a minute or two.

Serve immediately, with pepper jelly and rib candy. Everybody will need a spoon. :)

You can use almost any shredded vegetable with this recipe; I’ve used green beans, corn, peas, okra. . . really, whatever leftovers you’ve got in the refrigerator will work, and using different vegetables makes this recipe into a different experience each time! Using different pepper jelly flavors makes this meal an adventure, too.

You’ll need a good sharp knife for all this vegetable and chicken shredding. Why not get one of our fantastic Messermeister knives; they’re guaranteed to do a wonderful job!

Also? YUMMMMMMMMMMY.

Texas Pepper Jelly’s Spicy Pinwheels

Texas pinwheels

Our spicy pinwheels are lovely to look at and even better to devour! They’re also easy as, well, pie, to make.

Ingredients:

2 refrigerated rolled pie crusts
1/2 cup Texas Pepper Jelly – any flavor
2 tablespoons granulated sugar – I use Splenda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

What to do:

Preheat your oven to 400, and coat a baking sheet with Pam or its equivalent. Use parchment paper if you wish.

On a clean work surface – I use the kitchen table – sprinkle half of the sugar and half of the cinnamon. Unroll one of the pie crusts and place it on the cinnamon-sugar mixture and press gently to help the mixture stick to the crust.

Now, spread half of the pepper jelly mixture evenly all over the crust and sprinkle of the pecans over the top.

Then, roll the crust into a “log” and pinch both ends tightly. Repeat this process with the other pie crust and remaining ingredients.

With a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs into “coins” and arranged them, flatsided, on the buttered baking dish.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. The first few times you create these spicy pinwheels, it’s a good idea to set your oven timer to 15 minutes and when it rings, to check and then stand by to keep checking. No two ovens are alike, and overdone, too brown pinwheels are, well, not all that good. Baked exactly right, however, and nothing has ever tasted so good to you in all your life.

I like to brush melted butter onto the fresh-out-of-the-oven pinwheels, but my son prefers them without the butter. He just smears more pepper jelly on his.

These aren’t yeast rolls and won’t “rise” much, remember. They’re more “pie” then “roll.” In fact, if you prefer a slab of pie to a little pinwheel, you can just put the crust in a piepan and dump all of the rest of the ingredients on top of it.

It’s all up to you. Whatever shape your family prefers, you’ll never have to worry about flavors and tastes. With Texas Pepper Jelly, they’re ALL good.

Messermeister Cutlery: Texas Pepper Jelly Has It!

Here’s one of the best Texas Cookin’ Tips you’ll ever get: Texas Pepper Jelly carries Messermeister cutlery!

If you’re any kind of cook at all, you’re VERY particular about your knives. Kitchen knives need to be razor sharp, heat-proof, easy to sharpen, and durable. ALL of these qualities, not just a few. ALL.

It’s easy to find kitchen knives at any store. The most expensive knives aren’t necessarily the best knives, either.

Messermeister cutlery isn’t nearly as expensive as many excellent knife company’s knives, but the quality of a Messermeister knife is superior to all others. A Messermeister knife, or any other piece of their cutlery, will last a lifetime, and after that, it will last for your son or daughter’s lifetime. And so on, because a Messermeister knife is built to last for generations.

Texas Pepper Jelly carries Messermeister cutlery, and we back these knives with our usual guarantee: if you don’t like it for whatever reason, we’ll refund your money. In my opinion – and I’m extremely picky about my kitchen knives – my Messermeister knives are the BEST! I have several Messermeister kitchen knifes, and they’re my favorite ones.

The curved knife in the picture is the Messermeister Park Plaza 6-inch curved semi-flexible kitchen knife, and it’s perfect for paring, peeling, slicing, and pretty much everything you’d need a smallish, razor-sharp knife for, in your kitchen. I like the curved knives best, and the Messermeister Park Plaza curved knife is awesome!

What’s Cookin’ Wednesday: Grilled Chicken with Rib Candy

ribcandysm We’re having grilled chicken tonight, and we’re using the rest of our bottle of Texas Rib Candy on it. This won’t be the first time we’ve used Rib Candy on chicken, either. So far, we’ve used Rib Candy on several kinds of meat, but my family seems to like it best on pork ribs and chicken.

It was after reading the review of Texas Rib Candy on Shylah’s blog that inspired me to grill some chicken again tonight. The pictures and descriptions on Shylah’s blog made me so hungry for grilled Rib Candy chicken again! She wrote that she almost licked the stuff off the basting brush. I confess that I actually did, although I did manage to wait until after I was finished basting the chicken. Germs? I was past caring.

The chicken is thawing as I write, and tonight after work we’ll fire up the grill and put the chicken on. I hid what’s left of our last bottle of Rib Candy behind some leftovers in the refrigerator so the kids wouldn’t find it and use it on lunch meat – shut up; it’s awesome on lunch meat! – and I just finished making Spicy Potato Salad to go with the grilled chicken.

Oh, and how will I cut up the chicken before slapping it on the grill? With my awesome Messermeister poultry shears, that’s how.

Come on over; we’ve got enough chicken and potato salad for a crowd. Isn’t that how the best cookouts are?

The Perfect Bread Knife: Messermeister’s Kullenschliff Slicer

messermeistericonTexas Pepper Jelly is awesome on sandwiches and toast, but sandwiches and toast require bread.  My family loves homemade bread, so I learned to make it.

I don’t use a bread machine, no, no, no.  I make genuine homemade bread.  I figure, if my fingernails aren’t spotlessly clean after I’m finished kneading that dough by hand, I’m not really finished kneading.  :)

Once you remove your bread from the oven, however, it has to be sliced before you can really start slathering the pepper jelly on it.  I’ve experimented with a lot of knives in my day – I’m kind of oldish so I’ve had a lot of days – and the knife I like best is the Messermeister 10-inch Kullenschliff slicer.

5019-10K

It’s a beautiful knife, all-round. Sharp as a razor. Easy to handle, too.

With some knives, cutting homemade bread is a big deal, and the slices are seldom smooth. The Messermeister Kullenschliff slicer, however, will give you a lovely clean slice every single time.

Remember, too, bread-bakers, that you really must let your bread cool completely before you try to slice it.

And now that your bread is sliced – thanks to your awesome Messermeister Kullenschliff slicer – you can start spreading that mouth-watering delicious Texas Pepper Jelly on it.

Mmmm, pepper jelly.

P.S.  It’s June: the wedding month.  Why not give the newlyweds some Messermeister cutlery?  It lasts practically forever, and everyone needs good kitchen knives.

Monday Munchies: Baked Pepper Jelly Ham

mondaymunchiesBaked Pepper Jelly Ham is a wonderful company meal, Sunday dinner, or a family meal on those nights when you just feel like fixing something special.

I use a fully-cooked ham.  If you use a “raw ham,” add 20 minutes per pound to the baking time.

Ingredients:

One fully-cooked ham  (for five people, I use a ham that weighs about 3 pounds)

One 5-ounce jar of Pineapple Habanero Pepper Jelly

cloves, if your family likes cloves

What to do:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

If your ham is wrapped in plastic, be sure to remove all of this coating.

Place unwrapped ham in a roaster or dutch oven, and cover.

Bake for about an hour.  Your ham is already fully cooked, so all you’re really doing is getting it really hot.

After an hour’s baking, remove the roaster/Dutch oven and set on top of stove.  Take a VERY sharp knife (I recommend our Messermeister knives) and score the top into squares, diamonds, triangles, or whatever design you like.  Just make sure your design is “fancy” enough to give the glaze some “cling.”  Spread the pepper jelly all over the ham, even the sides.  Return to oven and bake another half hour or so, until the pepper jelly glaze glistens.

Remove ham from oven and let it “set” for another half hour before you try to slice it.

If you’re serving four or five people with this recipe, you can count on a few slices left over for someone’s lunch the next day.  If I have a can of shredded pineapple, I sometimes mix that with the pepper jelly.

That sweet/hot flavor just permeates the ham, and turns it into something so good, there are just no words to properly describe it.  You’ll never glaze a ham with brown sugar again.

My son is the only one of us who likes cloves on this ham, so I usually just stick a few on one of the ham ends.  The rest of us just like the pepper jelly glaze on ours.  But a ham is big, so there’s plenty of room to “individualize” it a bit.  :)
