Cheeseandchilichicken Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 2 cups cooked rice, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 cup chopped scallions, a 4-ounce can chopped green chiles (drained), 1 cup shredded cheddar, and salt and cayenne to taste. Butter a casserole dish and sprinkle with parmesan. Spread the rice mixture in the dish, sprinkle with more parmesan and dot with butter. Bake 20 minutes at 450 degrees.

Steps:

• Combine chicken, water, bell pepper, celery, onion, garlic, seasoned salt, and oregano in a pot. Bring to a boil; continue to boil until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat, shred chicken with 2 forks, and return to the pot. Add beans, salsa, and chile peppers, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Do not allow to boil once cheeses are added; if boiling you can remove from the heat entirely. Stir until melted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk together the oil, chopped cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic, pepper, and cayenne in a bowl; add the chicken and toss to coat.
• Transfer chicken to a foil-lined baking sheet and arrange the green pepper, onion, and tomato over each. Roast until the largest piece is just cooked through, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from oven and immediately top with the cheese and serve as the cheese melts. Transfer the chicken to a platter or among plates and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9 inch square baking dish (or similar size) with cooking spray.
• Make a deep cut into the side of each chicken breast half to form a pocket or 'purse'. Stuff 1/4 cup of cheese and about 1 tablespoon of the chilies onto each one. Close, and secure with a toothpick so that the cheese does not escape while in the oven. Place the stuffed chicken into the baking dish. Season with Fajita seasoning, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese and chilies over the top.
• Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the chicken juices run clear, and cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts to even thickness.
• Combine all marinade ingredients. Place chicken breasts in marinade and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Slice peppers and onions and sauté in olive oil until al dente. Season with salt and pepper.
• Saute chicken breasts in olive oil over medium heat; cook evenly on both sides to a golden brown color.
• Heat cast iron skillet on burner over medium heat until very hot. Place mashed potatoes on top portion of skillet. Place cheeses on bottom portion of skillet and cover with pepper and onion medley. Add chicken to top of pepper and onion medley, resting on potatoes. Top with chopped parsley. Serve "sizzling.".

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add ginger, green onions and garlic and stir 30 seconds.
• Add chicken cubes and stir-fry 2 or 3 minutes, until browned.
• Mix the hoisin, chili sauce and soy sauce and add to the chicken.
• Cook until chicken is fully cooked.
• Add spinach and cook a minute until just wilted.
• Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro.
• If you prefer a thick sauce combine a teaspoon of cornstarch with a bit of water and stir in until sauce thickens.
• Leftovers make a good wrap filling with additional vegetables.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Roll out dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin. Fit dough into tart pan, without stretching, letting excess dough hang over edge. Fold overhang inward and press against side of pan to reinforce edge. Prick bottom all over with a fork. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Line shell with foil or parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake until pastry is set and pale golden along rim, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Carefully remove foil and weights and bake shell until deep golden all over, 15 to 20 minutes more. Put tart pan in a shallow baking pan. Leave oven on.
• Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt using side of a large knife.
• Discard seeds, ribs, and stems from chiles, then pat dry if necessary and cut into 1/3-inch-wide strips.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, crema, onion, garlic paste, and pepper in a large bowl until just combined, then pour into baked tart shell.
• Sprinkle cheese and chiles over custard (chiles will sink slightly) and bake until custard is just set, 50 to 60 minutes. (Center will jiggle slightly; filling will continue to set as it cools.)
• Transfer quiche in pan to a rack to cool at least 20 minutes before serving.
• To remove side of tart pan, center a large can under pan and let side of pan drop. Serve warm or at room temperature.
