Smothered Chicken


This is such a yummy dinner. My Friend B* made it up after going to Chili's and having something similar. I loved it so I made it my self and it was really easy and something totally different for me. I love chicken so this is a keeper!

2-6 Chicken breast
1-2 pks Ranch dressing mix
1 onion
1 green pepper (optional)
6-12oz Mushrooms
6- 12 oz Bacon
1 cup Cheese ( I use Pepper Jack)
Tapatio- Mexican hot sauce

Sprinkle Chicken with Ranch Mix. Put them on a pan and bake for 25-35 mins in the oven @ 400 Degrees or until done. Meanwhile saute onions, mushrooms, and bacon. When chicken is done sprinkle sauted veggies cheese and Tapatio over the chicken. Broil or bake till cheese has melted. Great with corn on the cob!!

Spanish Rice


  • I found this recipe on allrecipes.com it Serves 8. I didn't think it was going to turn out Becasue I made mine with brown rice and the rice did not cook all the way. Although some really liked it that way. I will try white rice next time. The flavor was really good. I put half of a fresh chili pepper in, it was spicy but good!

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups uncooked white rice
  • 2 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes and green chiles
  • 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Directions

1.Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Saute rice, onion, and bell pepper until rice is browned and onions are tender.

2.Stir in water and tomatoes. Season with chili powder and salt. Cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
