Old Bay Wings & Greek Feta Pilaf

For some reason, we've been on a chicken wings kick lately. No idea why, but in the past week, we've tried 3 or 4 different recipes. Tonight, we did Old Bay Wings, but instead of doing them in the oven, I used the slow cooker. MUCH better. Seriously, these were so tender and juicy and delicious. My oven baked ones were good, but these were a lot tastier. I also made a Greek Feta Pilaf (from WW Simply Delicious) to go with them. Not sure what's so Greek about it, other than the Feta cheese and a dash of dill. Either way, it was damn tasty and a really simple meal to prepare.

Ingredients
  • Olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 small red/yellow/orange pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped dill
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
Directions

1. Heat the oil in a nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the onion, bell pepper and garlic. Saute until softened, 305 minutes. Add the rice and saute until coated with oil, about 1 minute. Add the broth, salt and pepper, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.

2. Fluff with a fork and stir in the cheese, dill and lemon zest; cover and let stand 5 minutes.
