Chicken Fijitas

Chicken Fajitas

We rated this recipe as very good.  Be sure to take the time to brine your chicken breasts.  Just a few minutes in the salt water makes a lot of difference to the taste.  The chicken breasts are moist and flavorful.  It is my understanding that brining pork and chicken is an old school technique that has been forgotten in recent years.  More information about brining and salting chicken can be found on page 115 of The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook.

Chicken and Rice

Chicken and Rice

We rated this dish as excellent.  Not really a difficult dish to make.  I am sure you have all the ingredients on-hand.  But, it took about 15 minutes prep time and another almost 45 minutes to bake. Too much time for after working all day, in my opinion.  

Chicken Soft Tacos

Chicken Soft Tacos

We rated this recipe as excellent. I used the recipe for the crunchy coleslaw recipe that was included with the Grilled Fish Taco recipe on page 262.  It's cabbage, cilantro, vegetable oil and lime juice - how easy and low calorie, too.  I served our Chicken Soft Tacos with store-made pico de gallo and spicy rice.   Easy, quick weeknight meal.  

Turkey Taco Salad

Turkey Taco Salad

I realized about half way through dinner that I forgot to add the tomatoes but it was still delicous.  We rated this salad as "excellent".  Please note that I did not make the taco bowls as shown in the Cooking for Two cookbook.  I subbed homemade corn tortilla chips instead of the flour tortilla taco bowls.  The salad was great.
