Chicken Cacciatore - Maureen

4 chicken breasts or quarters (leg and thigh), whichever you prefer
1-2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped up
black pepper and salt to taste
2 bay leaves
2 cans stewed tomatoes with Italian spices
1/2 c red wine, optional
1 tbsp parsley
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
2 tbsp minced onions

Brown chicken pretty well in olive oil. Add garlic, black pepper, and bay leaves. Add stewed tomatoes (I usually cut up the big ones as I'm adding them), red wine, parsley, oregano, basil, and minced onions. Turn down heat, cover, and simmer until cooked through, about 20 mins).

I usually serve it over spaghetti with garlic bread. My kids and hubby love it!

Chicken Taco Salad - Erin

Ingredients:
Chicken (thigh or breast): enough for your family
1 bag romaine lettuce (I find chopping lettuce is faster than taring it)
1 cup shredded fiesta blend cheese
1 can black olives (drained and sliced)
1 tomato (chopped)
Taco Seasoning mix
Chili Cheese flavored corn chips (crushed)
Dressing: 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup salsa

Directions:
Grill chicken (or however you like to cook it), chop it into chunks. In skillet, heat some oil. Coat chicken generously with taco seasoning (you can just dump it on top and stir around). If you pre-cooked/grilled your chicken, this just needs to be a few minutes to let the seasoning stick to the chicken. In large bowl, mix lettuce, cheese, olives, tomato, add chicken then crush a bunch of chili cheese fretos on top (they're like Mexican croutons :). Mix up your dressing and pour on top. Yummmmmmmmmm.
