Mexican Chicken Soup with Cilantro Dumplings

This was  very good - and even better that I got it out of one of my new favorite magazines:  Taste of Home - Cooking Light.  At only 321 calories per serving!

Mexican Chicken Soup with Cilantro Dumplings Recipe

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts*, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 can (15-1/2 ounces) petite diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups frozen corn
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 cup reduced-fat biscuit/baking mix
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 cup fat-free milk

In a Dutch oven, saute chicken in 1 teaspoon oil until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
In the same pan, saute onion and chili powder in remaining oil until onion is tender. Add the broth, tomatoes, beans, corn and jalapeno. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the biscuit mix, cilantro and cumin. Stir in milk just until moistened. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto simmering soup. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the cover while simmering). Yield: 6 servings (2-1/4 quarts plus 12 dumplings).

* I marinated my chicken for 24 hours in lime juice, cumin, organo and a splash of Siriachi Sauce.

Grilled Chicken & Bacon Macaroni and Cheese

This was a great twist on traditional Macaroni and Cheese.  I included all of the original instructions, but to simplify my own recipe I cooked the chicken in the crockpot and then added to the dish.  Enjoy!

6  slices good-quality smoky bacon, such as apple-wood smoked bacon
Salt and pepper
1 pound whole wheat, short-cut pasta
2 pieces skinless chicken breasts, lightly pounded
EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for drizzling
1/2 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
4 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, quartered lengthwise and very thinly sliced
2 rounded tablespoons flour
1/2 cup cloudy apple cider or chicken stock
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
1 1/2 cups shredded Romano
1 cup Parmesan Cheese 

Preheat oven to 375 °F. Arrange the bacon on a slotted broiler pan or on a rack placed over a baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 15 minutes. Chop and reserve. Switch on the broiler and position the rack in the center of the oven.
Bring a pot of water to boil, salt it, add pasta and cook 1 minute less then instructions indicate, or until just shy of al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
While pasta is working, heat grill pan or cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat. Drizzle chicken with EVOO to coat lightly then season evenly with paprika, salt and pepper. Grill chicken for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer to a cutting board and halve the pieces lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise.
  While the chicken cooks, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until light golden brown and very soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1 minute. Whisk in cider (or stock), then add milk. Bring to a boil and cook, whisking, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Add thyme and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in the cheese until melted.
Add the chicken, bacon and sauce to the pasta and transfer to a casserole. Broil until bubbling and browned, about 5 minutes.

Creamy Taco Mac

1¼ lbs. ground turkey
8 oz. dry pasta shapes
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (14 oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 can - Rotel (omit if you'd like it less spicy)
1pkg - Taco Seasoning
3 oz. cream cheese
½ cup sour cream
Salt and pepper
Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)


Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook pasta according to the package directions. Drain, reserving ½ cup of pasta water. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet or sauté pan, cook the ground turkey over medium-high heat until no longer pink. A few minutes before the turkey is cooked through, add the chopped onion to the skillet. Once the turkey is cooked through, drain if necessary, return to heat then mix in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Mix in the drained diced tomatoes and taco seasoning. Let simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked pasta, cream cheese, sour cream and reserved pasta water, and continue stirring until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer over medium-low heat 3-5 minutes to reduce the sauce a bit. Remove from the heat and top with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.

If you've made this into a freezer meal - I'd recommend adding a can of diced tomatoes or Rotel to it once it's thawed. The noodles absorb a lot of the liquid.

Pasta Milano

3 slices bacon, diced
2 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
4 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup white mushrooms, sliced
1 cup chicken broth, divided
1 cup heavy cream (or half & half for a lower fat version)
salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces dry farfalle (bowtie) pasta
water for boiling pasta
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil


In a large skillet over high heat, brown the diced bacon. Season the cut up chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and saute until lightly browned. Once the chicken is cooked, add the sliced mushrooms and saute until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add the roasted garlic, sundried tomatoes and chicken broth to the hot skillet. Allow it come to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes or until the tomatoes are tender. Add the cream and bring to a boil; stirring.Take off heat and add the bacon, chicken and mushroom to the sauce and set aside.

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add dry pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain, transfer to a bowl.

Pour the chicken and sauce over the hot pasta and toss. Place in a baking dish and top with shredded Parmesan cheese and bake in preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese melts.

Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.

* To make ahead/freezer meals - Prepare as directed, however cook pasta to barely al dente. There should be a bite to the pasta where it's not completely cooked. Place pasta, chicken and sauce in an ovenproof container and allow to cool. Cover and freezer. When ready to prepare, defrost and bake in preheated oven as directed above.

Fuzzy Leonas

I made these recently for a refreshing treat at a Baby Shower - they got rave reviews. They freeze well, because of the alcohol they stay slushy, so feel free to double the batch and freeze half.

8 cups Water
1 cup - Sugar
12 oz - frozen Lemonade
12 oz - frozen Orange Juice
2 cups - Peach Schnapps
Sprite

Boil water and sugar. Let completely cool and then stir in remaining ingredients. Freeze. (an old Ice Cream bucket works well).

To serve: fill glass 1/2 full of alcohol mixture and 1/2 full of Sprite.

My husbands review of these: "Seriously, make these again". This could easily be doubled and used later in the week for topping on a Buffalo Chicken Pizza.

4- boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 packet - Dry Ranch Dressing Mix
1 - Small Yellow Onion(sliced)
4 TBs - Butter
10 oz bottle Buffalo Wing Sauce*

Garlic Cheddar Chicken

Here is a great chicken recipe - I reduced the amount of chicken (4 breasts) and still ended up using the same amount of breading mixture as listed below.


1/2 cup butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, and cook the garlic until tender, about 5 minutes.

In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, pepper, and salt.

Dip each chicken breast in the garlic butter to coat, then press into the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with any remaining butter and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
Bake 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
