    Chicken Shashlik Sticks

    When a friend blogger posted Chicken Shashlik Sticks recipe on Instagram AND I saw it pinned on Pinterest on the same day, I knew it was a sign that I had to make this. The pictures looked so good, and the recipe seemed too easy to be true (spoiler alert, it isn’t!). So I added it to my weekly meal plan. I finally got a chance to make it yesterday, and I am praising the convenience and tastiness of this dish.

    This is an easy recipe for Tender & Juicy Chicken Shashlik Sticks. The shashlik sticks were loaded with tender pieces of chicken between juicy tomato chunks, sweet peppers and flavorful onions. The chicken was marinated in a sweet and tangy sauce before firing and the sticks were brushed with the leftover marination while they were being cooked. What a great combination of flavors!

    Remove from the grill or griddle and serve immediately. The combination of the juicy chicken bites and colorful veggies with the Shashlik sauce is fantastic! I loved how juicy they turned out.

    Extra-Bonus Tip: 

    Make sure you don’t use too big of pieces of chicken because you want everything to cook evenly. I have had one too many (okay, two total- but still that is more than necessary) meals ruined because my chicken wasn’t all the way cooked. 

    I have also posted Pineapple Chicken Tenders and Light Chicken Kabobs recipes which are another easiest & tastiest version of making Pasta home. Do check it out as well.  It’s finger lickin’ good. You’ll be coming back for more.

    As a child I was not the veggie lover I am today.When my mommy cooked veggies, I was apprehensive. Vegetables? Ew! A few years have passed since then and I love veggies of all shapes and sizes.  

    This weekend, I had a day off and I decided to cook nothing but finger foods. I knew I wanted veggie pizza, but I wanted something more convenient and easier to eat. I have found that when I make veggie pizza in the flat pizza style, it can be a little messy to eat because the toppings want to fall off. So, I did a quick Youtube search and found the recipe I used as inspiration for my Veggie Pizza Cups.

    Ramadan is coming and with it comes family get-together’s and parties. And if you need an easy to make appetizer recipe for your next party, then you should try this Veggie Pizza Cups. There’s no reason for buying store made appetizers when they’re so easy to make, fun & cheap and are guaranteed to be a hit at your next party. Don’t slave away in the kitchen when you could be enjoying the party!

    The idea may seem daunting at first but I hope by now I’ve got you well acquainted with handling different types of pizza’s. Be it: my The Perfect pizza dough recipe used to make not just this beautiful Baby Chicken Bread but also these cute little Mini Pizza Cups. Or this super easy and frugal recipe for Pizza Paratha. And how can we forget, my all-time favorite, the soft puffy Pizza Rolls …O’so good!

    It’s one of my favorite finger food. It’s amazing that just a few basic ingredients can come together into something so delicious.  For topping, I decided to use mixed veggies (corn, carrot, capsicum, green onion) and mushrooms in these because they’re my favorites veggies, but you could easily mix it up and use any toppings you like. I really do recommend making it as listed though, because these were just perfect. It tastes just like you’re eating a slice of pizza! Don’t skip out on the Italian Seasoning either – I think it adds a lot of flavor.

    They tasted delicious and impressed my family without making a mess. I will definitely be making them again this holiday season.

    Give pizza night a new twist by making spicy Chapli Kebab Pizza (Heavenly Double TREAT)!!

    Monday nights are for creativity. Or maybe, you’re like me and just have leftover Chapli Kebab’s wasting away in your fridge. Pinterest gave me the inspiration I needed to take dinner from a boring pizza night to an Italian-Pakistani Twist.

    This Chapli Kebab Pizza is my Pakistanized pizza makeover…..you could say that this is an Pakistani-Italian delight….hey, fusion food is the latest fad.  A delicious and easy to make pizza with crispy, juicy chapli kebab’s and  melty mozzarella cheese!  It is sure to be a hit!

    Chapli Kebab Pizza

    This pizza is so easy to make with left over Chapli Kebab’s with the cheesy topping….nobody could resist. I added dried Italian herbs to the pizza base and that gave a subtle Italian flavor with the Pakistani flavored topping. And just followed my heart to a logical conclusion. I took the shortcut and used the Chili Garlic sauce in place of pizza sauce and lessen cheese to keep it healthy and low fat( you can add more cheese). Well… I needn’t explain what the result was. The recipe finding its place in this blog itself says it all….. Right???
