2 boneless, skinless ckn breasts cut into small pieces
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 can green chilies
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup diced onion
2 Tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 package flour tortillas (the soft kind)
1 package shredded monterey jack cheese
Brown chicken in olive oil. Add all other ingredients except tortillas and cheese. Cook on low for about 15 minutes.
Tear the tortillas in quarters. Layer the tortillas, cheese and chicken mix. in a greased 9x12 casserole dish. Bake for 30 min. at 350 degrees.
Eat.
You can add a layer of crispy tortilla chips and cheese on top before baking if you want some crispiness. I don't usually bother though.
Jerk chicken over white/wild rice
Sweet potato chips
Veggie kebabs
Grilled pineapple on toasted bread with habanero jelly or Nutella/banana sammich for dessert.
Try my "old Czech recipe" - chicken with pineapple and honey. It's spicy (ginger + lot of soy sauce + pineapple + mixture of sweet honey and a lot of salt), yet tasty enough to serve it to your girlfriend's parents. You can cook it very quickly, and it's strange enough that you will sound like a cooking expert when describing how you made it.
has anyone else ever tried turkey ground meat instead of beef ground meat?
i tried for the first time a few months ago and it was really good. It isnt nearly as greasy as beef and takes half the time to cook. I mixed it with my chili and it was phenomenal.
it depends what you use it for. it doesn't compare to beef in a burger, IMO. I wouldn't use it in a meatloaf, either(2pts beef, 1pt pork, 1pt veal). i've used ground turkey for tacos. it's probably fine for chili, too...i don't know. personal preferance, probably.
Same thing here. Ground turkey works well for tacos, chili, or other things where it's combined. I'm not a big fan of it by itself though.
i'm an extremely adventurous cook... i was thinking about getting chicken, rice noodles, and veggies and doing spicy peanut sauce.
Thai peanut sauce is pretty easy to make. You need peanut butter, some thai red curry paste (sold in a jar in the Asian food section of grocery stores), coconut milk (sold in a can near the thai curry paste), and a few other ingredients. You can serve it with chicken marinated and grilled/sauteed/baked/whatever, and some steamed jasmine rice. There are lots of recipes online.
If you're feeling really really adventurous, try to make some Ethiopian chicken doro wat. The hard part of that meal is getting the injera bread right. I think you can find recipes for it on recipesource.com.
