CHA CHA CHICKEN

Cha Cha Chicken image

I don't know where I got this recipe from, but recipes are only guidelines for me, so I am not sure if this is the real recipe or my variation of the original. I didn't even know what to call it! I love this dish, and so does my entire family. I serve with Spanish rice or ranch beans and a salad.

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 lime, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup chunky salsa
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Arrange chicken in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Squeeze lime juice over the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
Mix salsa and garlic together in a bowl. Spoon 1/4 cup of the salsa mixture over each chicken breast; top with more lime juice.
Cook chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Delicious white bean chili. Cha Cha says: 'It's kinda spicy, so watch out!' Substitute mild green chiles for the jalapenos if you're scared! Use more chicken and cheese as desired.

HOT BASIL CHICKEN ( CHA KDAO SACH MAON )

Hot Basil Chicken ( Cha Kdao Sach Maon ) image

I found this on Facebook. There are several pages dedicated to Cambodian recipes, and this is one of them. There are fish sauces that are kosher, but I don't know about oyster sauces. Usually vegan stores have some kind of imitation to replace the real thing.

ONE ~ 1 ~ ONE CHICKEN'CHA CHA!

One ~ 1 ~ one chicken'cha cha! image

I call this dish " one ~ 1 ~ one chicken because its all " one cup, one tablespoon or one teaspoon"... This chicken has a real kick to it...so if you don't like it to hot put ½ the amount of the hot sauce in, it's just that simple! You'll still have enough marinade. *** If you are BBQ-ing the chicken do it as the...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 large skin on bone in chicken breast
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup sriracha hot chile " more or less " depending on how hot you like you chicken.
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon minced "dry" onion
1 tablespoon minced "dry" garlic
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
YOU'LL TASTE THE SWEET AND THEN THE HEAT!

Steps:

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Except the chicken.
2. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften the dry herbs.
3. Divide the marinade in ½. Refrigerate the ½ for later use.
4. Add the chicken breasts, to ½ of the marinade & cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, tossing frequently.
5. When you are ready to cook the chicken remove from the marinade "discarding the marinade "and place in a baking ***dish, cover the chicken with the remaining ½ of the sauce and bake uncovered.
6. Either BBQ or bake the chicken till it is done. I am baking this so I'll have my oven on 375 for about 30 ~ 40 minutes.
7. How long this will take if you bake it will depend on how big your chicken pieces are. And how accurate your oven is.
