fried cheese and chicken

fried cheese with poultry and veg

The perfect lunch to use up leftovers-especially those Thanksgiving leftovers.

Slice cheese, chunk up chicken or turkey, and portion out a few leftover cooked veggies.

Heat up skillet on medium.

Lay in the slices of cheese and pile on the meat and veggies. Let it sit til the cheese is melted. Once its melted, I turn up the heat to medium-high for about a minute because I like crisp cheese.

Flip it onto a plate and enjoy.

This is one of my favorite food blogs and one of my favorite recipes from it:

Preheat oven to 400

Snap off bottoms of fresh asparagus–Hold each end and bend. It will break where its no longer fresh

Starting at tip wrap bacon around asparagus-you may have to trim off some of the bacon-if the asparagus isn’t very fresh or if it’s out of season they’ll break into rather small pieces so I’ll cut the bacon in half before wrapping

Place on rimmed baking sheet or broiler pan-they can be fairly close together but not layered.

Pop it in the oven for 20-30 minutes depending on how crisp you like your bacon

I plan to make these in bulk every week because they are a great quick snack to grab out of the fridge. They are tasty cold or warmed for a few seconds in the microwave.
