When I visited my brother, who has three little boys, he made this delicious Mexican-style chicken dish. It was delicious, colorful, and his kiddies love it.  Best of all?  It was super easy.  I hope your kids love it as much as Jev’s.  

Ingredients:

  • ~1 lb Ramstead Ranch chicken breasts or chicken legs
  • 1 brick of cream cheese
  • 1 jar of salsa
  • 1 can or bag of frozen corn
  • Optional:
  • Extra veggies, I like cherry tomatoes, sliced onions, or peppers
  • Serve over rice, greens or in tortillas
  • Garnish with cilantro, green onions, or tortilla chips

Instructions:

  1. Cook chicken and optional extra veggies on the stove top.  Finely shred or chop chicken (I often use this as a way to upcycle leftovers from a whole chicken).
  2. Toss everything in the crockpot for a couple hours, then mix it up for a one pot delicious dinner! 
  3. This also pairs well with Steve’s Slaw.

RECIPE: Kabobs In The Broiler

Kabobs are an adventure! Entertaining to assemble, everyone can make their own to their exact preferences, and fun to eat. Kabob creation is a great way to break up the redundancy of fork and knife dinner time. And cooking options are flexible since kabobs are easy to grill outdoors or broil in the oven on a rainy day. Try switching it up by using lamb, pork, or chicken for variety.
