Smoky and Roasty


Posted the25/02/2010 By What's For Dinner? (Visit website)



Happy Wednesday!


I’ve come to really enjoy Wednesday evenings because I know that there are only two more wake-ups until the weekend! I hate that Adam has class so late, but I get to watch garbage TV for a few hours, read quietly, or cook stuff I’m not sure he’ll like. Usually, that ends up being something like the stuffed kabochas from last week, or something with an inordinate amount of vegetables and mushrooms.


Today’s dinner though, I thought might be a risk since it’s pretty tomato-y, but there’s no doubt that the leftovers will be consumed soon.


I had no idea how this would turn out. I had some idea in my head of what I wanted it to be, but I didn’t know if it would work…


Oh did it work!

Smoky Chili Chicken


Serves 3






Ingredients


3 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces


4 strips bacon, cut into small pieces


1 large can whole tomatoes


1 tsp. garlic powder


1 Tbsp. chili powder


1 tsp. onion powder


1/2 tsp. red chili flakes






Directions


Heat a saucepan and add the bacon. Allow it to cook until crispy, then add the chicken and stir well. Then, add the spices, stirring to coat the chicken. Let the spices sear onto the chicken a little, then add the can of tomatoes and stir well. Cover and simmer about 45 minutes, then uncovered for about 15 minutes to allow it to thicken.






HO-LY-GOODNESS this was delicious. I seriously almost typed “Serves 1″ in the recipe because I want to go eat the rest of it. The bacon lent a smokey flavor to the chili powder and tomatoes, which almost tasted like chiles in adobo. I topped my bowl with some aged white cheddar, sour cream, and half an avocado… oh I want more now! I’m really glad I need to type recipes out for you all, because otherwise, I don’t know that I’d remember what I did! Like the recipe? Don’t forget to Spring It!






I also made some roasted asparagus that were apparently alive on their little plate because EVERY picture was blurry. This was the best I got:

See? They were moving, I swear!!






They were delicious though… moving or not.
