Fast and Easy Chicken
l large skillet with a lid --1/4 cup OO, 11/2 cups of chopped onions, 2-4 garlic cloves, minced
5 frozen chicken breasts
1 large jar of salsa (Look at ingredients)
16 oz of frozen broccoli
Put OO in skillet with onions and garlic, saute for a minute
Add frozen chicken breasts. Place lid on skillet-cook approximately 5 minutes
Cut chicken breasts into chunks with heavy spatula.
Cook another few minutes, Add the jar of hot or medium salsa--can even add more hot sauce
Add frozen broccoli; replace lid
Cook a few minutes more. I moved the mixture to a crockpot, and added my broccoli. It stayed warm until dinner.
Can sprinkle ff cheese on each serving. It can be refrigerated-better rewarmed. I tripled the recipe and served with rice if people wanted it.
Enjoy, Joyful Friend

Re: Fast and Easy Chicken
This sounds great, I'll try it this weekend. I am soooo guilty about forgetting to thaw out chicken for dinner. Thanks for the recipe!

Re: Fast and Easy Chicken
Joyful Friend,
I tried this recipe, but cooked it in my pressure pot instead of crock pot (it has brown setting, then I can pressure-cook it). I did cook it a little too long, and the broccoli was mushy, but it tasted really good.
I then tried a version of this idea. Instead of the broccoli, I used 1 can of black beans, 1 can of pinto beans (rinse beans) and a bag of frozen corn. This was really good as well and is now one of my current "faves". It makes a filling lunch that is easy to pack and reheats really well, if not better than the day it was cooked. Thank you for the idea.
