Chicken Taco Salad

This one is A LOT easier and probably much more healthy...

2-4 chicken breasts
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 cup water or chicken broth
Toss all in a crockpot for 3-4 hours. Shred chicken with a fork. We like to put this on tortilla chips with cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, olives...(whatever mexi-type stuff you like).

You could also use this for chicken enchiladas, which are super good, but a bit more work...

Chicken Chardon


I don't know how healthy or easy this is but I really like it!


2-4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (i use the green bottle of lemon juice)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley (i've used dried and it's fine)


DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. In a separate dish, mix bread crumbs with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
Mix together the melted butter and lemon juice. Pour about 2/3 of the butter mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Tilt pan to coat the bottom. Spread mushrooms in an even layer in the bottom of the dish. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumb mixture. Place on top of the mushrooms. Drizzle remaining butter over the chicken, and sprinkle with parsley.
Bake uncovered for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear.

Lion House Pumpkin Bread

I am on a quest to find the perfect pumpkin bread recipe. I liked the one I posted a week or so ago, but then I found this one. I'm not sure which one I like better.

1 1/3 cups vegetable oil or applesauce
5 eggs
1 16-oz can pumpkin
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
2 3 oz. pkg vanilla pudding
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 2 large 8x4 in loaf pans. Set aside. Mix oil, eggs and pumpkin in a mixing bowl and beat well. In another bowl, sift together flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda. Add in to pumpkin mixture and blend well. Add in pudding and nuts and chocolate chips. Bake for 1 hour. Makes 2 loaves.
