Answer 1

There are soooo many good ones out there, I'm going to send you in a different direction. I have used it before, but since answering questions on this site at Yahoo, it's the first place I go for a suggestion.

The first link is to the INGREDIENTS search. Perfect for when you have food in the fridge that needs to be used up.....just list a few ingredients and hit SEARCH and it gives you suggestions.

What's great about ALL the recipes here is that they are rated by other cooks so if you find a four or five star recipe with 100's of votes, you can bet its good.

The second link is to the search menu--for quick meals, for a general search for a recipe, etc.

The third link is to their collection of SPICY dishes--all broken down into categories (appetizers, main dishes, etc) There's over 1400 recipes!!

The 4th link is a recipe I found that has a high number of votes and sounds great--not really spicy but flavorful.

"This is a spicier version of spinach stuffed chicken breasts. They are both tender and delicious, and they look good too."
Original recipe yield: 4 servings.

STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Prep Time:
15 Minutes
Cook Time:
45 Minutes
Ready In:
1 Hour
Servings:
4 (change)

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach leaves
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 1/2 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
* 1 pinch ground black pepper
* 8 slices bacon

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Place spinach in a large glass bowl, and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes, stirring every minute or so, or until wilted. Stir in sour cream, pepperjack cheese, and garlic.
3. Lay the chicken breasts out on a clean surface, and spoon some of the spinach mixture onto each one. Roll up chicken to enclose the spinach, then wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks, and arrange in a shallow baking dish.
4. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, then increase heat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C), or use the oven's broiler to cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to brown the bacon.


Bon Appetite!

You should check on allrecipes.com as they have tons of recipes from people all over the place, and the best part is that the reviews are rated and reviewed by other cooks. I did see a recipe on there a while back that makes a great side dish. My whole family loves spicy foods, as we are Cajun.

This is very simple, but it's quite good, and I was impressed with it. You just take a package of frozen white or yellow corn and cook it in a pan over the stove. Then add a sleeve of cream cheese (you can use light cream cheese if you prefer, to cut back on the calories). Allow this to soften and melt in with the corn. Then take some jalapenos to taste, and slice them in with the corn and cream cheese mixture. As I said, it's very easy to make, it was well liked by both the men in my family, and you can modify it to suit your tastes based on just how spicy you want to go. Good luck, and happy cooking!

BTW, the Samosas recipe sounded delicious. I might give that a try. I wonder how that would turn out if you added chicken to it, to make more of a meal.
