I'm gonna make corn on the cob for dinner tonight for myself and my boyfriend. I went and did groceries for the week and forgot to get burgers, which is what I wanted to make tonight with the corn, argh!

All I've got is boneless skinless chicken b*****s. I have no barbecue nor do I have bbq sauce. (We're in an apt building.)

I have Ketjap Manis, which tastes good...uhm...some cheddar cheese....some...tortillas and various veggies I could use as other side dishes or something.

I'm so sick of making chicken. And traffic's insane, I don't want to run out for burgers now, I have to start cooking soon.

Any ideas?

  5. Chicken Enchiladas!!  You can bake them, casserole style, easy, as falling asleep......

    3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup oil, divided

    1 tablespoon flour

    1/4 cup New Mexican chili powder

    16 ounces chicken stock

    10 ounces tomato puree

    1 teaspoon dried oregano

    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

    Salt

    3 cups grated cheddar cheese

    2 cups cooked and shredded chicken

    1 onion, chopped

    10 corn tortillas

    1 cup sour cream, for garnish

    1/2 cup chopped scallions, for garnish

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Make sauce: In a saucepan heat 3 tablespoons oil, add flour and cook, whisking, 1 minute. Add chili powder and cook 30 seconds. Stir in stock, tomato puree, oregano and cumin and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes until flavors are well-blended. Season to taste with salt.

    Combine cheese, chicken and onion for filling. Heat remaining 1/2 cup oil in a skillet until hot. Using tongs dip in tortillas, one at a time, to soften, and drain on paper towels. Dip each tortilla in sauce. On a plate fill with a generous spoonful of filling and roll up; place enchilada seam-side down in a baking dish and repeat until all ingredients are used up. Top with remaining sauce. Bake 30 minutes. To serve, top with sour cream and scallions.

    Serve with refried beans and Mexican rice.......

    Mexican Rice

    1 1/2 cups unconverted longgrain rice

    8 ounces tomatoes, roughly chopped with the skin on

    1/2 small onion, finely chopped

    1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped

    1/3 cup vegetable oil, chicken fat, or lard

    3 1/4 cups light chicken broth  mixed with 1/4 cup ANY salsa

    3/4 teaspoon salt

    In a large bowl, combine the rice with enough very hot tap water to cover. Stir and let sit for about 10 minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water, and drain again, shaking thoroughly. In a blender, combine the tomatoes, onion, and garlic and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the container as necessary. Set aside.

    In a large heavy saucepan, heat the oil over mediumhigh heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice turns a light golden color, about 10 minutes. Do not let it scorch. Add the tomato puree and fry, scraping the bottom of the pan to stop the mixture from sticking, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Add the chicken broth. Stir in the salt and reduce the heat to mediumlow. Cook the rice uncovered and undisturbed until almost all of the broth has evaporated and little air holes form in the surface. Cover the top of the pan with a towel and the lid, reduce the heat to very low, and cook for 5 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes more, so that the rice can absorb the steam and swell. Just before serving, turn the rice over from the bottom so that the juices are redistributed.

  8. 'Stuffed' Chicken b*****s.

    My husband loves them, and this little recipe has always been well received by those I make it for. It tastes great and is surprisingly simple!

    You will need:

    Chicken b*****s, the fatty bits cut away

    Cheese (your cheddar cheese works perfectly with this, because it melts wonderfully)

    Mushrooms

    Garlic

    Herbs of your choice (I use fresh/dried basil, oregano and parsley)

    Salt and pepper

    How to do it!

    1. Butterfly your chicken by snaking your knife length-wise through the breast, don't cut it entirely in half, it needs to open like a book.

    2. Toss a bit of garlic and butter in a pan on medium, add some sliced mushrooms and cook for a minute until soft and fragrant.

    3. Take a slice of cheese and lay it inside the chicken breast, add mushrooms on top and dust over with herbs of your choice.

    4. Pin them closed with toothpicks, and pop them on the grill portion of your stove under medium heat until cooked through and the cheese is melted.

    A variation I sometimes do when I'm in the mood for something a little more unhealthy, is wrap a piece of low-fat bacon around the chicken breast itself, it gets crispy and quite tasty under the grill!

    And as far as the veggies go. Steam 'em!

    The tricks to perfect and tasty steamed vegetables are so simple it's almost amazing how the preparation isn't more common! My family has been cooking vegetables this way as far back as we can recall, and no one's ever gotten tired of them!

    Perfect steamed veggies:

    1. Chop a big clove of garlic and pop it in a saucepan.

    2. Add your cut vegetables, though it's always a good idea to put the harder stuff (carrots, asparagus, and broccoli) on the bottom, and your softer vegetables (zucchini or squash) on the top. This way they won't go soggy!

    3. Sprinkle about half a teaspoon of salt over the veggies and add just enough cold water that you can see it in the pan without having your veggies go swimming!

    4. Turn on high heat and boil. Once it starts bubbling (this takes about 5 minutes), turn the heat as low as possible and cook for an additional 1 minute, then remove from heat completely.

    Serve on the side with your corn!
