Cravings With Caroline

The Post That Started It All...

Okay, I'm sure most of you follow me on Instagram (or maybe I'm just thinking I have a lot of followers and really don't #awkward) BUT anyway, I posted a delicious picture the other day and it hit me, I NEED TO BLOG. So i figured my first actual food blog would be dedicated to the post that made me realize I want to do something more than just post cool Instagrams!

Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken in a Honey Glaze with an Avocado Spinach Tomato Salad Mix!

For starters, I just want to put out there that for the chicken I took an idea from a Pinterest post and added my own twist and for the salad, I took one of my mom's friends dip recipes and basically made it into a salad!

CHICKEN:

Ingredients:

-1 Chicken Breast

-1 tsp of Honey

-1/2 Clove of Garlic, minced

-Red Pepper Flakes, Salt, & Pepper

-3 Slices of Prosciutto 

Directions:

-First you are going to want to preheat your oven to 400 degrees

-Take your chicken breast and salt and pepper to taste

-Next, in a small bowl mix 1 tsp of honey. (if you are into the sweetness, add 1 1/2tsp), add 1/2 clove of minced garlic, and sprinkle some red pepper flakes.

*so you are not cutting your fingers, just use the store bought pre-minced garlic, it is seriously a life savor!!*

-After mixing your glaze, lay out 3 pieces of prosciutto and wrap your chicken in it.

-Add any of the extra glaze on top of the prosciutto and then put it on a greased pan

-Bake for 35 minutes and ENJOY! 

*Make sure to check to see if your chicken is cooked all the way through before consuming*

SALAD:

-Mix all of the following ingredients together in a bowl

-half a bag of spinach/arugula mix

-1 chopped avocado

-1/2 a package of feta

-1/2 a package of cherry tomatoes sliced in half

-1 tablespoon of olive oil

-1/2 tablespoon of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar (whichever you prefer!)

-1 clove of garlic, minced (you can use your store bought pre bought garlic for this too!)

-1/4 cup of chopped onion, preferably red onions

-1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano

Most of my recipes are going to be single serving but can easily be doubled or tripled! I will make sure to note if it is single serving or more. The recipe above for chicken is a single serving and the recipe for the salad could feed two but I was just really hungry so I obviously stuffed my face...

I know being in college and cooking can be tough, but one of the most important things to remember is to keep it cheap and simple but make sure your quality is A+! In due time, you will be mastering the basics of the kitchen!

Lastly, if any of y'all have any suggestions for recipes, please feel free to contact me because I would love to try new things and give you a shout out for providing me the recipe. I hope you enjoyed this delicious dish! I hope everyone has a great weekend and be on the look out for my next post all about New Orleans food and hot spots (I'm sure you can guess where I am going this weekend)

XOXO,

Caroline
