Baked Mexican Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season one side of chicken breasts with half the cumin, half the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; arrange chicken breasts with seasoned sides down in the hot oil. Fry until chicken is lightly browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Season the top of each chicken breast with the remaining cumin, remaining garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; flip chicken and cook until other side is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. If the skillet gets dry, pour in just enough juice from the salsa to keep it from burning.
• Transfer chicken breasts to a 9x9-inch baking dish; sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend. Loosen all the drippings from the skillet with a little more juice from the salsa and pour on top of chicken breasts. Spoon salsa over cheese layer.
• Bake chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat a greased skillet to medium. Rub chicken pieces with garlic, salt, pepper and cumin to taste; place in hot skillet. Cook until brown on both sides and no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish, top with salsa and cheese, and bake in preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and starts to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the onion, green pepper and jalapeno peppers in butter until tender. In a large bowl, combine soup and milk. Stir in the rice, chicken, 2 cups cheese and onion mixture., Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until heated through and the cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Arrange chicken in a 3 quart casserole or 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
• Combine salsa, red bell pepper, cumin, lemon juice, chili powder and garlic. Pour salsa mixture over the chicken.
• Bake in preheated oven for 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours until chicken is cooked through. Serve with grated cheddar on top if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine chicken with beans, 1 cup cheese, scallions, chiles with liquid and cumin.
• Dividing evenly, spoon mixture down center of each wrap; roll up. Place in baking dish; top with enchilada sauce. Lightly cover baking dish with foil. Bake 30 minutes.
• Uncover enchiladas; sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 5 minutes. Serve topped with sour cream, cilantro, and pimentos.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place chicken in 1 layer in baking dish.
• Combine all other ingredients, pour over chicken.
• Cover, bake 30 minutes. Remove cover, bake an additional 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Defrost the chicken, if necessary, and remove the neck, liver, giblets, and excess fat. Rinse if needed, then place in the pot. If you prefer a lower-fat version, you can remove the skin and most of the fat from the bird, but the flavor will suffer (you can always skim the fat from the cooking liquid, later).
• Preheat the oven to 320°F.
• In a small bowl, combine the achiote, comino (cumin), oregano, and lime juice, then use the back of a spoon to mash into a thick marinade or thin paste.
• Place some of the marinade in the chicken and work it around inside, then pour the rest over the chicken and cover the skin.
• If you are braising in the oven, you may need to add a 1/2 cup of water, depending on the type of bird. Try it the first time you make the recipe, and you can leave it out, later, if you don't want the additional liquid. You do NOT need to add the water, if you cook this in the a slow cooker.
• If the lid for your pot has any holes, or there are any gaps between the lid and pan (or crock), cover the lid with foil so it seals tightly.
• The chicken will need to cook 2 1/2-3 hours. Check the temperature at the thickest parts and remove when the chicken is done (approx 170, a bit lower, if you want to finish the chicken on the stove top). If you want to brighten up the dish a bit and restore a sour bite, add another 1/4 cup of lime juice a couple of minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine the black and red pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
• Sprinkle evenly over chicken.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
