chicken thighs/breasts + La Costena Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce + cumin + salt and pepper -> put it all in a slow cooker If you have an immersion blender, use it to mix it up the sauce goes well in tacos, salads, soups, sandos, with rice, cakes, etc.
Works great as a hot dish with a starch or as salad additions! marinades add awesome flavor to the chicken pretty easily- 1/4 cup each red wine vinegar and olive oil, 6 grated garlic cloves, 2.5tsp salt, and a bunch (1tbsp) of dried oregano is roughly the Molly Baz marinade recipe I tried this week on a pack of chicken thighs, and it was great! Added some roasted carrot and rice pilaf for one dinner, then added the carrots and chicken to a salad today. I also have gotten into making a flavorful ground turkey for a base - either taco style and make burrito bowls, tacos even nachos lol OR a larb style (recipe linked) and do a larb bowl with rice or mix the turkey with wavy stir fry noodles or cold rice noodle bowls. If you donโt mind eating things with the same flavor profile for multiple days, there are a bunch of options with these two flavors. I like making things from scratch, but Iโve found using premade marinades and sauces makes it so much easier. I am lactose too- these should all be fine to do without dairy! I just do guac or get lactose free sour cream on the taco nights
Ten years ago my annual income was like $12k and I made this all the time because itโs like 75 cents a serving, now itโs just a comfort food that stays in the rotation because itโs so easy. Add the following to a large skillet or wide pot and give it a little stir: 1 cup rice (not instant)
1 cup salsa
1 can black beans
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cups of chicken broth
1 can of precooked chicken breast Heat it up until it starts to boil, then turn it down to simmer, put a lid on and wait 20 minutes. Tilt the skillet to make sure the liquid is absorbed then stir again, turn off the heat and cover with shredded cheese and chopped green onions. Give the cheese a few minutes to melt, serve with a little dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
Makes a good dip or served over rice or pasta or anything.
Chicken, corn, beans. Bell pepper, garlic, onion. Cream cheese, queso block, and ranch seasoning packets. A can of Rotel or other spiced tomatoes. Season first drop with cumin & a touch of all spice. Second drop cayenne pepper, white pepper, and adjust salt / pepper as needed.
Measurements?! Only thing I'd go by is cream cheese block per every 3 chicken breasts. The rest use your โฅ๏ธ
