Taco Chicken with Spanish Rice

Well, I know it's been awhile since I've posted...haven't really had anything exciting to post...but dinner tonight was soo yummy, or 'the bomb' as I like to put it!! Of all places, I got this recipe from my local HEB! They always cook up wonderful meals that are easy and quick, and best of all, I get to taste test them before I actually cook them!! I'm all about that one!

Here it is! Hope you enjoy as much as we did!!

Taco Chicken with Spanish Rice

1 cup sour cream
1 jar (7 oz.) green chili salsa
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 pack taco seasonings mix
4 chicken breast (I used 6)
1 bag HEB steamable spanish style rice (cook according to package)

Combine sour cream, salsa, cilantro and 1 teaspoon taco seasoning. Mix in bowl, stirring well. Cover and chill. THIS I WOULD CHANGE AND USE THE RANCH CILANTRO FROM THE PULLED PORK SALAD!!!

Toss chicken with remaining taco seasoning.

Cook chicken in a large non-stick skillet coated with veg. spray over medium-high heat until done. I CUT UP THE CHICKEN BREAST INTO SMALL BITE SIZE PIECES SO THAT IT WOULD COOK THROUGH.

Serve immadiately with Spanish rice and seasoned sour cream dip.

I ACTUALLY MADE TORTILLAS, WE PUT THE RICE, CHICKEN, THEN THE SOUR CREAM DIP! IT WAS GREAT!! NEXT TIME I'LL PUT ON A BED OF LETTUCE AND EAT IT LIKE A SALAD!!

This is a for sure keeper!! All the picky kiddos gobbled it up and asked for 2nds...there were NO leftovers!!!

YUM!! Enjoy!

Pizza for breakfast?

Making this dish sure brought back memories of my Mom, and when I was little. We used to love eating cold pizza for breakfast. Well, this sure isn't pepperoni pizza but it was wonderful just the same! My family gobbled it up in no time!!! The kids loved it so much - I'm making it again this week! You won't be sorry if you give this a try - I promise!!!!

Breakfast Pizza

1 can refrigerated pizza dough
1 pound bulk pork sausage, I used Sage
1 cup frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Unroll pizza dough and place on a greased 12-in. pizza pan; press up sides of pan to form a crust. In a skillet, brown sausage over medium heat; drain and cool slightly. Sprinkle sausage, hash browns and cheddar cheese over crust. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk and pepper; pour over pizza. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 28-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
