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: Cooking Pasture Raised Turkey

RECIPE: Cooking Pasture Raised Turkey

Before diving into the recipe details, there are two keys to success you want to adhere to when cooking pasture raised turkey vs “organic” or conventionally raised birds. 1) Plan to cook your bird at 325˚F for 12-15 min. per lb. 2) While the recommended safe cooking temperature of poultry is 165˚F, connoisseurs tell us that 145˚F is a better internal temperature to target. Your dark meat will be fully cooked, and the breast meat will be moist and delicious. Your pasture raised turkey will be incredibly delicious if you don’t overcook it.

I think quiche is underappreciated in American homes. It is a super flexible dish that you can eat hot out of the oven, cold on a picnic, or pretty much anywhere in between. It is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and can basically be stuffed with anything you have on hand and be delicious!
