MEXICAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Mexican Chicken and Potatoes image

This is a recipe I adapted from another recipe I found on this site. I changed it to my liking. It has more of a Mexican flare to it than Greek, like the original recipe. It sounds like there is too much liquid in the recipe, but it really turns out nicely.

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in 3/4 inch cubes (I used chicken strips instead, but you can use as much chicken as you want)
2 cups red potatoes, cubed
1 banana pepper, diced (or jalapeno)
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 beef bouillon cube, dissolved in 3/8 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place chicken, potatoes, onions and jalapeños in a glass baking pan.
  • Mix well to get everything evenly distributed in the pan.
  • Pour the chicken bouillon over all.
  • Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, cumin and oregano together.
  • Pour over chicken and potato mixture.
  • Bake 35 minutes until chicken is cooked thoroughly and potatoes are tender.
  • This would be really good served with a nice crusty loaf of bread to soak up the juices.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup taco seasoning mix
2 cups potatoes (thinly sliced peeled)
1 cup cheese, shredded
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup sour cream, to serve

Steps:

  • PREHEAT oven to 400°F
  • Cut Chicken in half to make two thin slices instead of one thick breast.
  • Place the potatoes in a single layer into an 8 x 8 baking pan sprayed with pam (or line it with foil).
  • Dredge each piece in taco seasoning mix that you poured into a pie plate to coat. Place the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes.
  • Cover with the salsa and then the cheese.
  • BAKE 30 to 35 minute or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
  • This is where I stop when I make this ahead of time and throw it in the freezer to eat later in the week. I also usually do this in 2 small dishes as there are only 2 of us!
  • Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave.
  • Top each serving with sour cream to serve, if desired.
