Cheesy Mexican Couscous Chicken #ChoppedAtHome

April 17, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design No Comments

Hi Everyone,

Have you ever watched the TV show on Food Network called Chopped? Well Chopped has come to Peanut Butter and Peppers today. I have 4 ingredients I have to use; Sargento® Off the Block 4 Cheese Mexican, couscous, boneless chicken tenders, and salsa. What do I make? The pressure is on.
Cheesy Mexican Couscous Chicken #ChoppedAtHome
I debated on making tacos, then I thought of chicken tenders on a bed of couscous and then I came up with today’s recipe, Cheesy Mexican Chicken Couscous. This dish is amazing and very simple to make. It’s couscous with chopped chicken and mixed with salsa and topped with Sargento® Off the Block 4 Cheese Mexican. It’s cheesy, delicious and makes for a great dinner and even better as leftovers.
Cheesy Mexican Couscous Chicken #ChoppedAtHome
To make the dish I cooked my couscous in chicken broth and while that was cooking I cooked my chicken tenders in a frying pan. Once the chicken was cooked, I chopped it up into bite size pieces. I added the couscous to the skillet, and mixed it was salsa and chicken. For the salsa I used chipotle garlic. Yum! My new favorite! Then I topped my skillet with Sargento® Off the Block 4 Cheese Mexican. I placed my skillet under the broiler and cooked it until the cheese was melted. Amazing! Before serving I topped it with some fresh cilantro. Just because I love the heat I also added a little bit of hot sauce. You know me and my hot sauce. Cheesy Mexican Couscous Chicken #ChoppedAtHome
I am so loving Sargento® Off the Block 4 Cheese Mexican. It adds that extra pinch of flavor the recipe needs. Plus, oh my gosh the cheese! It’s so gooey, cheesy, creamy and simply one of my favorite loves! I have totally been on a cheese kick lately and my family is very happy with that!

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!
