I developed this seasoned chicken mixture to reduce meal preparation time, writes Nancy Pease of Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania. It's handy to keep in the freezer for a head start on three different meals. No one realizes they come from the same beginnings, Ingredients:
1/2 cup lemon juice |
1/2 cup canola oil |
3 tablespoons chili powder |
1-1/2 teaspoons each garlic powder, ground cumin, dried coriander and dried oregano |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional |
3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips |
3 medium onions, halved and sliced into rings |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine lemon juice, oil and seasonings. Add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. 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.
3. In the drippings, saute onions and garlic until onions are crisp-tender. Pour over chicken and mix well. Cool for 30 minutes.
4. Divide mixture among three freezer containers; cover and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before using. Yield: 6 cups.
