Tex Mex Chicken Starter Recipes

TEX-MEX CHICKEN STARTER

Tex-Mex Chicken Starter image

A recipe I found on the Taste of Home website. This is a recipe to make Tex-Mex flavored chicken that can be used for tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, burritos, taquitos, flautas, chimichangas etc. Makes for a quick start to getting on the table when the chicken is already done. Note: Time doesn't include 1 hour marinating or 30 min. cooling times.

Ingredients

1/2 cup(s) lemon juice
1/2 cup(s) canola oil
3 tablespoon(s) chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) each garlic powder, ground cumin, dried coriander and dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
3/4 teaspoon(s) pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper, optional and to taste
3 pound(s) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
3 medium onions, halved and sliced into rings

Steps:

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine lemon juice, oil and seasonings. Add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, bring chicken and marinade to a boil in batches. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 6 minutes or until juices run clear. Remove chicken with tongs to a large bowl.
In the drippings, saute onions and garlic until onions are crisp-tender. Pour over chicken and mix well. Cool for 30 minutes.
Divide mixture among three freezer containers; cover and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before using.
