| King Ranch Chicken w/Balsamic Hot Pepper Salad |
We had Worldview Study again on Sunday. Studying God's world and how we should relate to it is so good! I am learning more everyday... but back to the topic at hand. Lunch before Worldview Study is a great time to try out new recipes. And Melanie, Bobby, and Luke are very kind guinea pigs. :O)
So try some new recipes, I did!

So, the big test was the Balsamic Hot Pepper salad dressing... I was fairly sure that the King Ranch chicken would be really good... but the dressing was a big question mark.

| Good! |

| Very Bad |
Haha! No, not really. They both enjoyed it. Yay! Melanie agreed that the chicken was good, but refrained from trying the spicy salad dressing. Hence, all in all, lunch was a success. And I have some new recipes!
Balsamic Hot Pepper Salad
Whisk together 1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar (I didn't use white...) and 1/4 cup pepper jelly. Toss with 1 sliced cucumber, 1 sliced small red onion, salad, and 1 yellow bell pepper.
King Ranch Chicken
4 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 (10 3/4oz) can cream of chicken soup (I used cream of celery)
1 (10 3/4oz) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10oz) can diced tomatoes and green chilies
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp. chili powder
12 (6in) tortillas
2 cups (8oz) shredded sharp cheddar cheese (I think I used mild...)
1. Stir together first 8 ingredients. Tear tortillas into 1-inch pieces; layer one-third of tortilla pieces in a lightly greased 6-qt. slow cooker. Top with one-third of chicken mixture and 2/3 cup of cheese. Repeat layers twice.
2. Cover and cook on LOW 3 1/2 hours or until bubbly and edges are golden brown. Uncover and cook on LOW 30 minutes.
I made 1 1/2 times the recipe for 7 people. Some of my measurement were caveman. :P
Haha. Thanks for the faithful report that I was posing for the photo. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove "caveman" measurements. :) Tell your mummy that I'll get her that soup recipe soon. As soon as I figure out how to make it not "caveman"... :P
ReplyDeleteI think Sunday cooking can be difficult because of the timing of meals and worship. Recipes like this are perfect for after-church hospitality! Do you have any crock-pot favorites? I'm a terrible crock-pot cook, but that seems to be the best thing for Sunday pot-luck dinners at church. And we have *a lot* of pot-luck dinners... I'm running out of ideas!
