Green Chile Chicken

I know, I know....I have not been posting like I should be. But that doesn't mean I haven't been working! I'm hoping to get all of my new creations up here in the next few days. I'm going to start with what I made tonight. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Here's What You Need:

Boneless skinless chicken thighs (I used 3 cause it fits my family)
1 small can fire roasted green chile (I only used half, but you can definitely use the whole can of you want)
Lemon juice
Black pepper

Here's What You Do:

Place chicken in baking dish. Cover each piece with green chile. Drizzle chicken and chile with Lemon juice. Sprinkle with black pepper.


Bake at 350* for 30-45 minutes until chicken is no longer pink and dig in! I served this with Cous Cous and green peas and it was very tasty.

Ground Turkey w/Zucchini & Mushrooms

Yet again, I was faced with a challenge.  What to make for dinner.  We are getting near the end of my husbands pay period, which means we are getting near the end of our food supplies.  My options were limited.  I looked in the freezer and saw I had a package of ground turkey, so I decided to see what I could do with it.

Here's what you need:
1 20oz. package lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Garlic Powder
Sea Salt
Ground Black Pepper

Here's what you do:

Dice your onion and zucchini 


Sautee Onions until clear


Add Turkey and brown.


Once Turkey is browned add in the zucchini and mushrooms.


Keep on high heat and cook until the zucchini begins to soften (I think I cooked it for about 15 minutes)  You may also add in the garlic powder (just a few shakes), salt (a pinch) and pepper (as much as you'd like) to flavor. 

If there is any liquid left in the pan drain it.

I was planning on serving this over brown rice, but after I started cooking I realized I was out, so I put it over plain cous cous.  It ended up being the right choice....so yummy!!
