black bean chicken and rice

I put frozen chicken into the crock pot with salsa.
Cook till done.
I added the left over black beans from last night and stirred it together
I cooked rice on the stove and added it in.
I added one small can of diced chillis and tomatoes.

SO GOOD

chicken and black bean burrito

I combine a few recipes from a new site that a friend showed me....

first I made taco seasoning....
Add 1 teaspoons of dried onion
Add 2 teaspoons of chili powder.
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt.
Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.
Add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin.
Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or hot paprika.
Stir to blend.
Makes the equivalent of a 1 1/4-ounce package of taco seasoning mix.

I thawed some chicken and cut it into pieces
I tossed the chicken into a ziplock bag with the taco seasoning.
I preheated my cast iron with oil.
I fried the seasoned chicken.
I added water turned down the heat and let it simmer and finish cooking the chicken.
When the chicken was done I added a few teaspoons of corn starch to thicken the sauce.

I also make black beans in the crock pot the same day. When they where done I drained them. Put them in a large bowl and smashed them with a glass.
I grated some cheese....
Wheat tortillas and made burritos

This recipe was based off a soup recipe.... Brian liked the chicken a lot so I think I will make the soup and see how it goes.

Chicken & Stuffing Fatness

I have made this before but this is a new recipe. I have to say I like this one WAY better.
1 box (10 oz) of stuffing mix.
1/2 c of melted butter
1/2 c chicken broth
2 pounds chicken breast cooked and cubed
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 pk 9oz of frozen green beans thawed
8 oz sharp cheese grated

mix in a large bowl the first three items
for broth I buy a large tub at smart and final of chicken broth. It is concitrated so I melt it down into the needed amount of water. Also I in NO way used that much butter. So I upped the water so the stuffing was moist.

When ready put the stuffing in the bottom of a baking dish

Again in a large mixing bowl
Mix the last 4 items on the list.
Layer on top of the stuffing and bake covered for 45 mins.
