Mediterranean Pita Chip Nachos

Recipe provided by: @TheBakerMama, Maegan Brown

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Open Nature or O Organics Chicken Breast Tenders
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 2 (7.3 ounce) bags Open Nature Pita Chips with Sea Salt
  • 1 (16 ounce) container O Organics Traditional Hummus
  • 1 (5 ounce) container Primo Taglio Cheese Feta Crumbles
  • 1 (7 ounce) container Signature Reserve Pitted Marinated Calamata Olives, drained
  • 10 Signature Farms Snacking Tomatoes Wild Wonders Melody, cut into fourths
  • 3 mini cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped red onion
  • 1 (7 ounce) jar Signature Select Sun-Dried Tomatoes Julienne Cut, drained
  • 1 (7 ounce) container Signature Reserve Greek Feta Salad, drained
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup Open Nature Dill Cauliflower Dip

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large (12″ x 17″) rimmed sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Generously salt and pepper the tops of the chicken tenders.
  3. Transfer them, seasoned side down, to a medium-heated skillet that’s been drizzled with a little olive oil.
  4. Season the other sides of the tenderloins with salt and pepper while the first sides sear.
  5. Sear for about 3 minutes or until nicely browned before flipping and searing for another 3 minutes on the other side.
  6. Cover the pan with a lid and let continue to cook for another 2 minutes to add steam/moisture and insure they’re cooked all the way through without drying out.
  7. Remove the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let rest.
  8. Scoop ½ cup hummus into a small serving bowl. With the remaining hummus, spread a little onto one side of each pita chip and place them, hummus side up, on the prepared sheet pan.
  9. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Arrange the chicken pieces in top of the hummus covered pita chips on the pan.
  10. Sprinkle the pita chips and chicken evenly with the feta crumbles.
  11. Bake for 10 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time.T
  12. Top the baked pita chip nachos with the olives, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and Greek feta salad.
  13. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley. Serve with reserved ½ cup hummus and ½ cup dill cauliflower dip.  

*Food styling suggestion: garnish the hummus with olive oil and the cauliflower dip with mini slices of cucumber and chopped fresh dill. I place the bowl on the pan first and then surrounded them with the hummus-spread pita chips. I removed the bowl just before baking the nachos and then added them back for serving.

Bacon, spinach and tomato egg bites made with Signature Farms tomatoes and Signature Select bacon

Bacon, Spinach and Tomato Egg Bites

Recipe provided by: @TheBakerMama, Maegan Brown

Ingredients

  • 8 large O Organics Cage-Free Eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup O Organics Baby Spinach, finely chopped
  • 4 slices Signature Select Bacon, cooked and chopped into bits
  • 1/2 cup diced Signature Farms Snacking Tomatoes Wild Wonders Melody (about 10)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Primo Taglio Feta Cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until smooth and bubbly. Add the salt, pepper and milk and whisk well.
  3. Whisk in the chopped spinach, bacon bits, diced tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese until well combined.
  4. Use a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon to spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each one almost full.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops are set and edges start to turn golden. The bites will rise up out of the muffin cups while baking, but they will settle back in after they are removed from the oven. After removing from the oven, let them set in the pan for 5 minutes before gently running a sharp knife around the edges and lifting each one out.

Notes:

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, cover them with a damp paper towel and heat them in the microwave on 50% power level for 20-30 seconds.
  • They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just let them cool completely and store them sealed in a freezer safe bag or container. To serve, let them defrost in the refrigerator overnight or heat them in the microwave on defrost mode for 1-2 minutes.

*Food styling suggestion: add a little extra bacon, tomato and feta to the top of each one so those ingredients peak through the spinach as the bites bake.
