Kassia's Personal Recipes

I don't cook as much as I use to with two toddler boys, a day job, and coming home to do more work as a freelancer. However, I do miss it. One thing Ernest and I love to do is cook. Especially when we have the time to be creative with what we put together. 9 times out of 10 our "experiments" turn out to be great. Anyhow, I thought it would be a good idea to share one of my enjoyments with you. More will be added over time. I might add a few more of my little "recipes" from time to time. Let me know if you try and how it comes out. I would love to hear your opinions.

Keep in mind that I don't use exact measurements so you are going to have to experiment with what works for you. The named ingredients are those I tend to use the most, but feel free to substitute with what works for you.

Smothered Green Chili Chicken Fajitas

2 tbs. vegetable oil
3 cans green chili enchilada sauce
frozen chicken fajita strips (2 bags), thaw
1 (or 2) large onions

2. Cut the onions long and thin. Place them in the frying pan and saute until turn a clear color.

3. Add your chicken and mix with the onions thoroughly. Let cook until chicken is warm.

5. Bring to a low boil and turn off stove. Warm tortillas either is oven or microwave for 35 seconds.

6. Using a large mixing spoon add your fixings to the middle of the tortilla. Depending on the size of the tortilla you might need 2 or 3 total spoonfuls.

Breakfast Version: Just add scrambled eggs and you have an excellent morning meal. This is also good with Chorizo (Mexican sausage) and/or bacon. You can even go further and add potatoes.



Marinated Boneless Chicken Breast
Ingredients:
* Garlic Powder
* Paprika
* Tony's Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning
* Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
* Holland House White Cooking Wine
* Pompeian Balsamic Vinegar
* Boneless Chicken Breasts (So that the chicken marinates better I suggest that the chicken also be skinless)

Instructions:
I like to mix my marinated sauce and meats in a Ziploc bag then shake it so that I make sure the meat is completely covered. Some people use bowls and cover them, but I found using the Ziploc for marinating meat a lot better.

Wait Time: My suggestion is a minimum of 5 hours, but I have discovered that the longer you wait the better it turns out.
