We found it! The perfect grilled cheese recipe!

Note, the vegan cheddar cheese contains a blend of cashews for those with a nut allergy!

Here's the recipe: https://minimalistbaker.com/the-best-vegan-grilled-cheese-sandwich/

**Be sure to give them a like and a follow on their website!

Cook Time: 15 min

Ingredients:

1. Thick sour dough bread
2. Vegan butter
3. Vegan cheddar cheese

Tip: A cast iron skillet would be best for this to get those crispy sides on the bread and those golden edges. But cast irons take time to preheat. The recipe may take longer if you haven't prepared the vegan cheese yet. Once the cheese is blended and you have a vegan butter of your choice cook time should be only 15 minutes.

The Butter: Most favored by all is Miyoko's Creamery European Style cultured vegan butter -"with a hint of sea salt" flavor. You can find it at most Trader Joe's. You can put this stuff on anything! If you can't get ahold of that, second option: Monty's Plant Based Butter

The Cheddar Cheese: Here's the recipe: https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-vegan-cheddar-cheese-spread--sauce/

According to the recipe it's made with a base of cashews and carrots. Then blended with tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and spices. Once blended enough it's the consistency of a thick spreadable cheese sauce! Versatile for mac 'n cheese, casseroles & just about anything else you need cheddar cheese for.

Instructions: Simple! Heat the pan, butter the bread, layer the cheese spread. Cook on both sides until the bread is crispy and the cheese is heated all the way through. Don't burn your mouth on the first bite!

It's getting cold out and white chicken chili is perfect for winter weather. Anyone got a great recipe to share?

So, we made our own variation of this and it was wonderful! But here's the original recipe if you want to stick that: https://thebigmansworld.com/stuffed-chicken-breast-recipe/
My variation is below: 👇

Ingredients:

1. Chicken thighs (instead of breast, it's more tender). Boneless with the skin. Wash and pat dry.
2. Chopped Fresh Baby spinach, chopped.
3. Cream cheese. Softened
4. Sun-dried tomatoes. Packed in oil, not water.
5. Parmesan. Freshly grated.
6. Feta. A bit smelly, but sooo good.
7. Sea salt and spices of your choosing. We used lemon pepper seasoning and pepper and some oregano.
8. Butter. You can make your own herb butter if you like, we do. **You don't have to use a Cast Iron skillet obviously but we did.

Directions: Preheat your oven to 180 C/350 F. We followed the same directions as the recipe on the website. **We did make a change of oven baking instead of stove stop in the cast iron and baked them at 350 degrees for 35 minutes and we used a thermometer to check for an internal temp of 165.

Step 1: Clean and prep the chicken by slicing it open but not all the way through, you want to make a "pocket" for the filling. Step 2: Make the filling by mixing the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, feta, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Step 3: Stuff and Secure, by filling the thighs or breasts with the filling and you want to use toothpicks to make sure they don't come open in the oven. Step: 4 Bake your chicken for 35 minutes or until it reaches a safe internal temp of 165. Enjoy!

Let us know if you guys made this or not! It was so good!
