Re: Recipe of the Day - Tex Mex Chilli

For those snowed in this will warm you up



Tex Mex Chili
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes

This is a great, lighter chili typically served in the Southwest. Using chicken rather than beef reduces the calories and fat. Dusting the chicken with flour maintains the moisture. Aged cheddar is the perfect accompaniment. Add diced avocado to the list of garnishes if you like. Serves 6

Ingredients:
• 12 oz skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 3 breasts), diced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
• 1 cup canned corn, drained
• 2 tsp finely chopped garlic
• 1 1/2 cups canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 1/2 cups tomato sauce (or store-bought spaghetti sauce)
• 3/4 cup chicken (or beef) stock
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 1/2 tsp seeded and finely chopped jalapeño pepper (or 1½ tsp hot chili sauce)
• pinch of salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro or parsley
• 1/2 cup shredded aged light cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup low-fat sour cream

Method:
1. Place the chicken and flour in a bowl and toss to coat. Lightly coat a nonstick saucepan with cooking spray, add 1 tsp of the vegetable oil and set over medium heat. Sauté the chicken for 5 minutes or until it is lightly browned on all sides, but do not cook through. Set aside.
2. Re-spray the same saucepan, add the remaining vegetable oil and set over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Stir in the corn and garlic and continue to cook and stir for 5 minutes or until the corn is browned.
3. Stir in the beans, tomato sauce, stock, chili powder, basil, oregano, jalapeño, salt and pepper.
4. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add the diced chicken and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through and the chili thickens. Serve the chili in bowls, and garnish with cilantro, cheese and sour cream.

Re: Recipe of the Day - Stir-Fried Chicken &amp; Sugar Snap Peas

1/2 cup oyster sauce
2 tsp rice vinegar
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
4 tsp vegetable oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 carrots peeled and sliced thin
8 ounces sugar snap peas, stems snapped off and strings removed
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger

1. Whisk oyster sauce, vinegar and pepper flakes in medium bowl. Heat 2 tsp oil in large non-stick skillet over medium heat until just smoking. Cook half of chicken until no longer pink, about 3 mins. Transfer to bowl and repeat with remaining oil and chicken.

2. Add broth and carrot to empty skillet and bring to boil, scraping up any brown bits. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer covered, until carrots ae just tender, about 3 mins. Remove lid, add snap peas and cook until bright green and liquid has evaporated, about 2 mins. Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 sec. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan. Add oyster sauce mixture and cook until thickened, about 1 min. Serve with white rice.
