Shortcut Salsa Chicken Food

SHORTCUT CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sweet potato, garlic, chili powder and cumin and cook until combined, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes, chili beans with their sauce and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the chili thickens slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken until just heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro; season with salt and pepper. Top with chips, cheese and/or scallions.

SHORTCUT CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Stir together the beans, oregano and 1 cup cheese in a bowl. Add the chicken, season with pepper and stir until evenly combined.
• Stir the salsa together with 1 cup water in a bowl, then transfer 1 cup to cover the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stack the tortillas, wrap them in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, about 15 seconds.
• Arrange the tortillas on a workspace, then divide the chicken filling among the tortillas (about 1/4-cup filling per tortilla). Roll the tortillas up like a cigar, then transfer them to the baking dish seam-side down, positioning the rolls so that the dish is filled evenly. Press the rolls gently with your hands so they begin to soak the sauce up. Pour the remaining salsa mixture over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups cheese.
• Bake the enchiladas until the cheese melts and the enchiladas are hot in the center, about 30 minutes. Serve hot with sour cream and pickled jalapenos.

PRESSURE COOKER SALSA VERDE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add the chicken, salsa verde, canned chiles, chopped garlic, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin to a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker; stir to combine. (Don't add salt yet, as many jarred salsas are high in sodium.) Close the lid and turn the pressure knob to sealed. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
• Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid. If you would like to reduce the sauce, remove the chicken with a slotted spoon to a bowl and turn on the simmer function; let the sauce bubble for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken. Add the chicken back into the pot if you have removed it. Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken. Stir in the scallions and cilantro. Taste, and season with salt and lime juice.
• Serve in bowls, alone or with rice, or in tortillas, with desired toppings.
