OVEN BAKED FRITTATA

Well eggs have been pretty cheap lately so I stocked up big time, hence this is wear this frittata came from. This can easily be doubled for a brunch. I used left over chicken from a roasted chicken I did earlier in the week.  You can really play with this as much as you want with different meats and cheeses.

6 eggs
1/4 cup butter
2 cups shredded sharp cheese
2 cups cooked chicken
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp salt and pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Take a 8x8 baking dish and slightly melt the butter and spread it around the dish-cover the sides well. Layer the cheese first in the bottom, then chicken on top. Mix the rest of the ingredients together and pour on top of chicken. I sprinkled a little more paprika on top. Bake at 375 for about 35-45 min.

Enjoy!

WHITE BBQ CHICKEN WINGS

If you've never tried a white bbq sauce--you need to. They are so different then the tradition smokey-sweet red sauces. Give this a try--I think you would like it.

1 cup mayo
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice-it makes a difference
1/2 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 pounds chicken wings-tips removed

Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Prepare grill on medium heat and spray tin foil or direct grills with Pam first. Place chicken wings on grill and cook through (about 8-10 min). Towards the end baste with sauce-cook 2 min and then baste again and cook another 2-4 min. Sprinkle with extra cheese is you'd like.

These are great for a picnic also.
Enjoy!
