EASY chicken recipe

BALSAMIC CHICKEN

4-6 chicken breasts
garlic powder
salt
pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 C balsamic vinegar

Season chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet. Brown chicken and onion. Add tomatoes and vinegar. Simmer for 10-15 minutes to cook chicken through and reduce the sauce.

This is really good over a baked potato - or - cook up some pasta, and toss the pasta in with the sauce before serving. When I do this with pasta, I also make a little alfredo sauce to drizzle over the top. Sounds like an interesting combination, but is SO good. Try it!

Try the recipe below!

these chicken things are so good! I am glad I made these even though m house is a bit warmer because of it. It got to 89 degrees today, so odd for Western Washington in May.

I just got an email from Pilsbury.com and it is meals that won't break your budget. I am gonna try some of them because they look so good. I am also gonna make some of the biscuits from the bisquick that I have because the refridgerater biscuits can get pricey anyways the point is I can send the email to you if you want and I will post the recipes that I like(and my family likes!). Thursday night I am going to try this one, I think Britt will really like it! If I add things to it, which I often do, I will tell you that too! http://www.pillsbury.com/Recipes/ShowRecipe.aspx?rid=12362

I made the Chulupas recipe from below for Cinco De Mayo and they were yummy! I have also made the milk can dinner and my whole family liked it, my crock pot was so full when I started the lid wouldn't stay down but it cooked down enough in no time. Not sure what will be next but I am gonna try another one on Friday!

Change for the better?

Well maybe not. I like the way it looks but the only way to add recipes now is from your dashboard. So give me feed back because I can easily change it back...although anything new that you add will be lost if I upload the old template. Enjoy though!

CHALUPAS

This is my all time favorite recipe called Chalupas!

3 lbs pork roast
1 lb pinto beans dry (I use any kind)
2-3 garlic cloves minced
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp dried oregano
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp salt
4 oz chopped green chilies
medium chopped onion

Cover beans overnight in a bowl. In the morning, put roast in bottom of slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients including the beans and soaking water. Add just enough water to cover roast. Cook on high until pork is cooked. Shred pork and cook on low for 6 more hours.Serve on tortillas with cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, olives, lettuces, etc....

Makes a ton. We get 5 meals out of it for my family of two adults and two kids. It freezes beautifully....Enjoy!
