So, I've never had a blog before.... don't know many people that do, but I thought I'd try one for the fun of it. I love many things in life... one of which is food, so I am dedicating this blog primarily to my adventures in cooking.
Life is to short to be boring, and I feel that applies to what I cook as well. I love to watch the food network and get ideas for recipes that sound good that I would like to try. Luckily my spouse is not a fussy eater and he'll try anything I make. With that said, let me just say that Google is my best friend. If I hear something that sounds good, I just google the name of the recipe and go from there.
Here was our menu for tonight: Salsa chicken with spanish rice and corn. The chicken obviously was the star of the plate and I prepared it as follows: Since I didn't have any taco seasoning on hand, I rubbed some chili seasoning on the chicken breasts. Mixed equal portions of salsa and low fat cream of mushroom soup. Stirred that up and topped it on the chicken. I then baked it for about 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Then I added a dollap of sour cream on top of each chicken breast and somewhat mixed it with the salsa mixture already on the chicken. Next came the cheese and finally.... dun dun dun dah..... the tostito chip crumbs. Yes... my husband suggested I use the leftover crumbs from a tostito bag on top and it was FABULOUS! I put it back in the oven for 5 minutes or so until the cheese was melted and then broiled it for a couple of minutes just to get that crispy top. My husband said it was the best salsa chicken I had ever made.
The rice was just Uncle Ben's spanish flavored rice that I cooked in the rice cooker, but it was the perfect compliment to this meal.
All's I have left to say is "Please DO try this at home people".
