EASY CHICKEN FAJITAS
boneless chicken breast
1 1/2 c. water or chicken broth
1 pkg. taco seasoning
2 chopped bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
Cut chicken breast into strips. Simmer strips in water or broth until just about done.
Place in skillet along with 1 cup cooking water or broth, taco seasoning, and chopped bell peppers.
Simmer until chicken is done and sauce becomes thick. Add remaining water or broth (1/2 c.) and simmer 10 minutes.
Go for a quick and easy stir fry with rice or egg noodles, yummy! That's what i'm craving today :)
how about an asian salad?
How about Indian Chicken curry: fry onions tomatoes, put curry pwdr, salt untill make a paste, put chicken add 1 cup of water, simmer for 20 mins; serve with rice:
easiest way to make to curry:
Sesame chicken
This is a favorite dish that can be served as an appetizer or part of a dinner combo or just a snack.
You will need:
Chicken pieces or small strips
Sesame seeds
Deep fry batter***
Cooking oil
Wok or deep fryer *350 to *375
If you use a wok please be very careful and watch the temperature of your oil if it starts to smoke turn down the temperature.
First wash your chicken in cold water, then add the sesame seeds to the batter you don’t need as many as you think just a few will look good when done. Mix well add chicken.
When oil is to temp add chicken one piece at a time and cook until chicken floats and golden brown.
*** I tried the deep fry batter that is on this web site and it works good.
If you want to spice it up a bit you can add you favorite hot powder or some dried hot red pepper flakes to the batter. And serve with Chinese red sauce. Enjoy
