Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 cup salsa

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season one side of chicken breasts with half the cumin, half the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; arrange chicken breasts with seasoned sides down in the hot oil. Fry until chicken is lightly browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Season the top of each chicken breast with the remaining cumin, remaining garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; flip chicken and cook until other side is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. If the skillet gets dry, pour in just enough juice from the salsa to keep it from burning.
  • Transfer chicken breasts to a 9x9-inch baking dish; sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend. Loosen all the drippings from the skillet with a little more juice from the salsa and pour on top of chicken breasts. Spoon salsa over cheese layer.
  • Bake chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup bottled salsa (or fresh, see below)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 ripe avocado, cubed
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions (optional)
magic bullet seven-second salsa (note ( this yeilds more salsa than needed for the chicken recipe)
1/4 onion (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 jalapeno pepper
8 -10 cherry tomatoes (about 1/2 cup) or 1 tomatoes (about 1/2 cup)
1 -2 garlic clove
1 small sprigs cilantro (optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare salsa in magic bullet; set aside.

  • Combine salsa and lime juice; spoon over and around chicken. Simmer uncovered until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens, 6-8 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to serving plates. Cook the remaining pan juices in skillet over high heat until slightly reduced, about 30 seconds.
  • Spoon juices over the chicken; top with avocado. Garnish with green onions, if desired.

HEALTHY MEXICAN CHICKEN STRIPS



Healthy Mexican Chicken Strips image

I originally got this idea watching Aaron McCargo on the food network. Of course, his were fried and I am trying to watch my weight. After a few attempts, I have come up with this super easy baked version. I figured out the nutrition facts for four servings, including chips, and it comes out to about 295 calories and 10 grams of fat per serving (approximately 2.5 strips).

Provided by sbera007

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup colby-monterey jack cheese (shredded)
1 cup corn chips, blue (crushed)
1 tablespoon taco seasoning (I use Penzey's Bold Taco Seasoning)
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon hot sauce (I use Cholula)
1 lb chicken breast tenders (or cut up boneless skinless chicken breasts)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a food processor, combine cheese, crushed corn chips and taco seasoning.
  • Place in a shallow dish (a pie pan works nicely).
  • In another shallow dish, combine egg substitute and hot sauce.
  • One at a time, dip chicken strips in egg substitute mix; completely coat the chicken strip.
  • Completely coat in corn chip mixture.
  • Place strips in a 9x13 pan coated with non-stick spray.
  • Once all chicken strips are coated and in the pan, spray with more non-stick spray (I use canola oil).
  • Bake strips for about 30 minutes or until no longer pink in the middle.
