Chicken Taco Salad

-


Lately I've been hungry for Taco Salad but not really for the traditional beef taco salad so today I prepared it with chicken. Mmm, yummo!

As some of you know, I enjoy an easy recipe with lots of flavor. It doesn't get easier than this!! And it is so yummy!

You will need:
boneless, skinless chicken breast
taco seasoning
onion, small
butter
lettuce
taco cheese
sour cream
guacamole
Taco salad dressing, recipe follows
Taco flavored Doritoes

Amounts will vary. I used 2 whole breasts and there are 6 of us.

I sliced the chicken breast real thin (¼ inch) and chopped the onion. Melted  butter in a saute' pan, added the onions.


Then I laid the chicken pieces on top of the onions. I sprinkled Taco seasoning mix over the chicken pieces.


Let them cook for a little bit on one side and turn the pieces over and cook for a short time again. I sprinkled a little salt over this side and a little more Taco Seasoning. Flavor, that's what we're pursuing here! ☺

Take two forks and shred the pieces.


Chop some lettuce. I used Romaine and iceberg. Place some chicken over a bed of lettuce and sprinkle with cheese and Taco chips. I didn't have taco flavored chips tonight so I just used regular dipping chips to add some crunch.

Serve with tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole. And the delicious dressing.


For the dressing:
1cup mayonaisse
1 cup Miracle Whip
1½ cups sugar
1/3 cup vinegar
2½ teaspoons lemon juice
2½ teaspoons prepared mustard
6 Tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Tabasca sauce

Put all together in a bowl and mix well with a wire whisk.

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
