Easy Chicken

Your crock pot is your friend.  If you don't have one, get one.  There is nothing easier than getting up in the morning and throwing meat and seasonings in the pot and walking away.  I've even thrown in frozen meat.  I make this with both bone-in and boneless chicken:

package of chicken
can of mild Rotel (I used the lime and cilantro version last night)
few squirts of Zesty Italian salad dressing

Walk away for, oh, all day.

If you used bones, pull meat off the bones.  If not, just use 2 forks to shred it.  Done. 

My daughter eats it plain.  My husband likes it on tortillas.  I took two scoops and put it on a bed of greens with feta cheese.  Super healthy, tons of protein and delish.

Chicken w Rotel

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cans of mild chile Rotel

Use a 13x9 pan.  Season the breasts with salt and peppers.  Coat with olive oil.  Pour both cans of Rotel over all breasts.  Turn after 30 minutes.  Leave for another 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Cook for 15 minutes, turn breasts.  Cook additional 10 minutes.  Sprinkles Mexican style shredded cheese over each breast.  Broil for 2 minutes. 

I made brown rice with chicken broth.  Served chicken over rice and spooned some drippings from the pan.

Tikka Marsala Chicken...reinvented

I'll be trying this one.  I love this show...they test the recipe in the kitchen before presenting them...one trick I use is buying the pre-minced ginger in the produce section ;)  I will also be using half and half instead of whole cream and brown rice.
