Texas Cookin'

I decided to break out my disc and do a little Texas favorite this afternoon. I started with chicken breasts that I cut up into long strips fajita style. I also sliced a large sweet yellow onion. I then got the disc prepped and ready. Simply cooked the chicken and onion fajita style until there was no pink in the chicken. Notice I did not season the chicken prior to this as the seasoning will be added in the cooking process.

Once the chicken was cooked I added two cups of chicken stock that I made from Knorr Caldo De Pollo. Two tablespoons of Knorr to 2 cups of water. I also added 3/4 cups of heavy cream, a tablespoon of paprika, and a healthy dose of garlic powder. I brought the mixture to a boil and let it roll for about 5 minutes.

I then turned off the burner and added in about 1/2 cup of sour cream mixing it in slowly as the mixture cooled. This will thicken up your sauce.

I decided to do a side dish of Fideo with the chicken dish. I use the same recipe for this as I do my Spanish rice. Brown the pasta with some chopped onion in oil over medium heat. Mix in Knorr chicken stock 2 cups of water 2 tablespoons of knorr. One 8 OZ can of tomato sauce, garlic poweder, and cumin. Bring to a strong boil then reduce herat and cover for about 20 minutes. Some pretty amazing stuff here.

Here is the final plated dish, served with hot flour tortillas. I had a little red salsa with it as well. I felt that the tomato based sauce of the fideo really complimented the cream based sauce of the chicken. All in all a success and will be doing again.

Thank you for the kind words. The contrast in sauces was a nice mix for sure.

No doubt there are several additions that could enhance this dish. I like to put mushrooms in it but my wife hates them so I left them out. I also like a more spicy dish but my 6 year old wont eat it so I left out chili's etc... Thank you for the kind words.
