Crock Pot Chicken Salsa Curry
10 chicken thighs-bone in
1 jar of your fav salsa
1/2 onion chopped
1 tablespoon curry (or about 1/2 if you don't like a strong curry taste)
1/2 cup sour cream
Place the chicken in the crock pot!. Mix the onion, curry and salsa!. Pour over the chicken and cook on low for about 6-8 hours!.
When the chicken is done take it out of the crock pot and put on a serving plate!. Add the sour cream and mix well!. Spoon the sauce over the chicken!.
This would go well with rice or cous cous!.
If you don't have a crock pot then just use a roasting pan or covered casserrole dish and bake at 200-250 for 3-4 hours or so!. I can't remember how many hours I did it when I used the oven method!. This recipe is easy to do smaller portions of as well!.
---------------------------
Mexi-rice:
Use rice that is still warm!.
Heat a skillet or griddle pan to a med-low heat!. Add the rice and your favorite salsa, some olives, corn and ground cumin!. (A great salsa to use would be the kind in the plastic tubs in the produce section, I think it's labeled as "Fresh Salsa" but El Paso or whatever would work as well!.)
Instead of pre-made salsa make your own using roma tomatoes chopped small, red onions, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, finely chopped jalape?o pepper, adding some lime juice, and garlic salt!. Then toss this fresh salsa in with the rice and cumin, olives, and corn!.
Serve hot and I like mine with just a sprinkle of melted cheese!.!.!.!.!.yumm!!!

Creamy chicken enchiladas:
1 pound boneless chicken breasts diced
1 8oz package cream cheese cut into cubes
Flour or corn tortillas
1 can diced green chili peppers
ground cumin
1 or 2 can green enchilada sauce
Shredded cheese
Cook the chicken in a skillet and when the chicken is done add the cream cheese, it will melt!. As the cream cheese melts add the green chilis, and a couple of good dashes of cumin!. Continue to heat on low until the cream cheese has melted!.
Fill a tortilla with the chicken mix, roll and place in a baking dish, Continue until the chicken mix is gone!. Top with the enchilada sauce and sprinkle with cheese!. Bake at 350 for about 10-15 min or until the sauce is nice and hot and the cheese is golden and bubbly!.
--------------------------------------!.!.!.
Cook 2 pork chops with the following: 1 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces, 1/2 onion chopped into medium to small pieces, and 1 apple sliced!. Cook the chops in a tiny bit of oil, brown on one side and turn, add the onions, pepper, and apples!. Cook until chops are done and the other ingredients are crisp tender!. Serve with rice!.
--------------------------------------!.!.!.
The next recipe is for as many chops as you want to make!. Salt and pepper both sides of the chops, place in a baking dish!. Top EACH chop with the following
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp ketchup
1 slice onion
1 slice lemon
Bake at 350 for about 30-45 min depending on how many chops, and how thick they are!. This dish creates just a tiny bit of a nice sweet tangy sauce!. You can simmer an extra serving or 2 the topping ingredients on the stove top with a little water if you would like!. I serve this dish over rice also!. Different sounding but very good!!!

Make it fun and do some Taco Boats!.
Get some WonTon Wraps from your local grocery store!. They usually hang in the produce isle near the Tofu!. They come 60 to a package!.
I can make about 48-50 of these with two pounds of ground beef!.
Brown your ground beef ( 1-2 pounds) with chopped sweet onion (large or small)!. Drain and add the dry Ranch Dressing mix (1 pkg!. for 1 lb!. 2 for 2 lbs!.)!. Stir in well!.
While your meat is coking take the Wonton Wraps and place them individually in a muffin tin to bake and form a small bowl!. Transfer them to a cookie sheet after you finish baking them!.
Spoon in your meat mixture to each bowl and add grated cheddar cheese to the top!. Place them back in the oven to melt the cheese slightly!.
Toppings can range from sour cream, guacamole, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, corn, chopped green onions and salsa of course!.
They are fun to make and more fun to eat!. And believe me they will disappear so don't think you can make to many!Www@FoodAQ@Com
