Red River Green Chili Chicken


While we were on vacation in the mountains, we made a new concoction and we thought it was delicious!

The night we had it, we sat outside, in our sweatshirts, and came up with a name to call it.

"Red River Green Chili Chicken" won!

If you make it, you can call it whatever you want!

The top picture, it's served on top of a deli thin that's been toasted on the grill.




This is on a toasted deli thin with green salsa on top of it!


This is my favorite way to consume this dish:  Red River Chili Chicken
on top of a corn muffin that's been split open!
Red River Green Chili Chicken

1/2 onion, chopped
2 cooked chicken breasts, chopped
1-2 cans chopped green chili, drained
3-4 pieces of bacon, cooked and chopped
cheese
bread

Taking your onion in a large pan with butter or olive oil, saute until tender.
Throw in the chopped chicken, green chili's, and cooked bacon.  Stir until thoroughly heated.
Top the mixture with a small amount of cheese (sliced or grated).  We used pepper-jack cheese and colby jack.  Allow to melt.

Remove from heat and serve.

**Because I usually cook extra grilled chicken, that's what I used in this mixture.  Also, when I cook bacon, I cook at least two packages at a time and keep it in the freezer.  So for me, this dinner throws together in a minute because everything has been pre-cooked and I'm simply "warming things up!"

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe.

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
