randomly chaotic and frequently mundane

chicken for dinner.  i have boneless skinless chicken (thighs).  i’m thinking of doing some kind of stuffing with the mushrooms that are a few days from being… well… not good for anything.  seared then baked… and perhaps a gravy or sauce to accompany.  i have no idea why.  i’m just in the mood to cook something groovy.

i’m also thinking i should start contemplating submissions for the chicken recipe contest now.  i know they probably won’t be due till like october or something, but last year i only gave myself 2 months or so to come up with recipes.

one of the recipes i submitted last year: southwest chili con pollo

1 onion, diced
1-1/5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, diced
1 c. water
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
2-4oz cans diced mild green chiles
15 oz can corn, drained
15 oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp paprika
1 tbs chili powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tbs white wine vinegar

in a large stock pot, combine chicken and onion and cook until chicken is cooked thru.

add water, tomatoes, chiles, corn and beans, stir and bring to a simmer.

stir in oregano, paprika, chili powder, pepper, garlic salt and vinegar, bring to a boil. reduce heat and simmer uncovered stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes.

serve over rice.
