MY MOM'S " RED CHICKEN "

Steps:

• In a large pan (large enough to hold all the chicken in one layer, along with some sauce), brown the chicken in the oil. If you have a non-stick pan, you can omit the oil.
• While the chicken is browning (or before), mix the tomato paste with the liquid from the canned mushrooms. Add more water if necessary -- the goal is to be able to pour the sauce, though it should still be pretty thick. (If you want to use fresh mushrooms, then you can just use water for this step.).
• Sprinkle the chicken with the thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Cover the chicken with the chopped onions.
• Pour the tomato/liquid mixture on top of everything. Mix things together as well as you can. At this point it might seem like you won't have enough tomato sauce, but as the chicken and onions cook, they'll release their liquids and you'll have more sauce.
• Cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes. Uncover occasionally to shift things around, flip the chicken over, and pour the sauce over the chicken. Add water as needed (but it might not be needed at all).
• If you're using fresh mushrooms instead of canned, sauté them in a separate skillet.
• When chicken is cooked, reduce the heat so that the sauce is no longer simmering. Add the yogurt, mushrooms, and parsley. Stir until everything is blended and warm.
• Serve over rice (we use brown rice) -- you'll definitely want something to soak up all the yummy sauce!

RED HOT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put the olive oil, orange, lime and lemon juices, chile powder, paprika, garlic and chipotle with adobo sauce in a blender and puree. Put the chicken breasts in a resealable bag, pour in the marinade and seal. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to several hours, the longer the better.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and transfer to a roasting pan. Roast until the chicken is slightly browned and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the chicken breasts whole with warm flour tortillas, sour cream, Pico de Gallo and Guacamole and Mexican Rice.
• To make the pico de gallo, chop the tomatoes, jalapenos and onion into a very small dice. (Leave the seeds in your jalapenos for a hotter pico.) Adjust the amount of jalapenos to your preferred temperature. Next, chop up a nice-sized bunch of cilantro. Just remove and discard the long leafless stems before chopping; there is no need to remove the leaves from the stems completely. Put the tomatoes, jalapenos, onion and cilantro together in a bowl and give it a good stir. Squeeze the juice of 1 of the lime halves into the bowl. Add salt to taste and stir again.
• To make the guacamole, halve the avocados lengthwise and remove the pits. Next, with a spoon, scrape the "meat" out onto a large plate. Mash the avocados, making sure to leave them relatively chunky. Add just a couple of shakes of salt to taste. Next, add a generous helping of the pico de gallo and fold together. Lastly, squeeze the juice of the remaining lime half over the top. Give it one last stir and serve.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the rice and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly and making sure the rice doesn't burn, for 3 minutes. Add the whole tomatoes and diced chiles and tomatoes, stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes. Finally, add the broth and stir together. Add a good teaspoon of cumin and the salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the rice is cooked, 10 to 15 additional minutes. Add more liquid as needed; the rice should not be sticky.
• Just before serving, sprinkle lots of freshly chopped cilantro over the top. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the chicken: Put the chicken in a resealable bag. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning to the bag and smush everything together. Seal and refrigerate.

• Add the broth (if you like a thicker sauce only add 1 cup broth, for a thinner sauce add 2 cups broth), salt and pepper and stir until heated. Splash in the cream.
• Remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor or blender. Place on the lid and puree the pepper mixture until totally blended (there will still be some texture to the peppers). You can serve the sauce right away or cool it and bag it up.
• When ready to cook, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes a side.
• Heat up the red pepper sauce in a pan. Serve everyone a piece of chicken, spoon some sauce over each piece, and garnish with Parmesan shavings and a sprinkling of parsley. Serve with roasted vegetables alongside.
