Answer 5

SImple Fried Rice (My family loves this)

3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 to 3 green onions - chopped
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
2 cups rice (uncooked)
2 eggs
Soy Sauce
Sesame Oil
Red Pepper Flakes
Vegetable oil

Cook rice - 4 cups water for 2 cups uncooked rice.(remember to salt the rice as it cooks)
As rice cooks, Cut chicken into 1 inch cubes. Place in a dish and add 1 tablespoon Seame Oil, 2 to 3 tablespoons soy sauce, and Red Pepper Flakes (a good couple pinches). Set to the side.
Heat a large skillet on medium high heat. Add in chicken mixture. Cook until done - about 6 minutes. Remove from Skittle(meat and juices).
Add in Peas and carrots. cook until done - stirring constantly. ( about 5 minutes) Remove from pan.
Add in 1 table spoon Sesame Oil to pan. Add the 2 eggs. Mixing as they cook. Remove and cut into strips.
Add in 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil. Add in green onions, and another pinch or two of red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until onions are soft.
Slow start adding in the cooked rice. Mixing the onions and peppers in. Add in the peas and carrots and egg in to the mixture. Mixing well as you add. Optional to add chicken into the rice mixture. Mix well. Let cook 2 minutes. Add 1 tsp Sesame Oil and 2 tablespoons Soy sauce. Mix and cook 1 more minute.

Serve while hot.

I find adding half the rice, veggies and eggs at a time and mixing works well. Also can add more pepper flakes if you like. You can also use a wok to cook this in. You can also even use beef (stew meat) in place of chicken or with the chicken.

Hope you enjoy.

ST NOT ALL:

women have become whores. they disrespect themselves as well as others. before women respected relationships, now they are willing to divide them. women cause problems in others relationships constantly, they dont understand the meaning of a relationship.

they dress to attract men in "showy" ways. theyre ok with sleeping with a man on the first day of meeting him.

i could keep on but thats the basics

Answer 10

SPICY BLACK BEANS AND RICE

Black beans are high in protein, magnesium, manganese, folate, potassium, calcium and iron. They are economical and can be purchased in bulk and stored in airtight containers for at least one year.

1 lb dry black beans
1/4 cup olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 shallot, minced (optional)
2 bell peppers (red or green), chopped
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 packet Goya Sazon (seasoning)
1/4 cup white wine (or wine vinegar)
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1 teaspoon Frank's Hot Sauce

Pick over beans to remove imperfect beans and any foreign matter. Rinse well in cold running water.
In a pan, bring beans to a boil in 6-8 cups water. Boil over high heat for 3-4 minutes, then cover and set aside for an hour. Alternatively, boiling can be omitted if beans are soaked overnight.

Drain and rinse beans. In a large saucepan, soak beans in 8 cups fresh water. (This time, do not drain.)

In a skillet, sauté onion and pepper over medium heat until onions are tender and translucent. Add garlic and oregano when onions begin to color (about 5 minutes). Do not allow garlic to brown. Add remaining ingredients; mix well.

Stir mixture into beans in saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low.

Simmer until beans are tender. Serve over steamed white rice while still hot.

Can be prepared in a Crock-Pot. Just soak beans overnight and put everything into the Crock-Pot in the morning. Set on low and cook for 8 hours, or until beans are tender.

If you own a small (2.5-4 quart) pressure cooker, these can be prepared in under thirty minutes. Saute onions, then add pre-soaked beans to pressure cooker; cover with water or broth and remaining ingredients. Cover and cook at 10 lbs pressure for 20 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to sit 10 minutes, then reduce pressure; season to taste and serve.

Can be frozen in smaller portions for up to 6 months. If preparing larger quantities just for freezing, omit the seasonings and add them in while reheating, instead.

HOT SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

1 pound chicken wings
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
3-4 tablespoons tabasco or hot sauce
2 tablespoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoon jalapeno peppers, chopped

Preheat oven to 350°
Combine tomato sauce, seasonings, peppers in bowl.

Dip wings in sauce and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, basting occasionally with sauce.

SPICY CAJUN PASTA

1 can black beans
1 red onion cut into long strips
2 cups chopped chourice
1 1 lb box penne pasta
2 cooked chicken breast
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
2 cups medium sized cooked shrimp
1 1/2 cups light cream
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

In large skillet, cook onion in butter for 2 minutes. Add chourice, Cajun spice, and black pepper. Cook for 10 minutes on medium heat. Add chicken breast, shrimp and cream and simmer until thickened.
Boil pasta according to package directions while sauce is simmering.

Finally, add black beans to sauce. Heat and toss pasta and sauce together. Serve.

SPICY LOW FAT CHICKEN FAJITAS

2 cooked boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
1 can Rotel tomatoes (not drained)
1 bell pepper, diced
1 onion (Vidalia is best), diced
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tomato, diced
cooking spray or 1 tsp. of olive oil
corn tortillas
sour cream (low-fat or fat-free)- optional
shredded cheddar cheese - optional

Coat the skillet in cooking spray or 1 teaspoon of olive oil. On medium heat, add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet.
Sauté until the peppers have softened enough to be cut easily with a spatula. If the skillet becomes too dry, a few teaspoons of water may be added to prevent sticking.

Add the minced Garlic, diced tomato, and can of Rotel. While the above ingredients are cooking, shred and add cooked chicken to the skillet.

Cook until the juice from the Rotel has thickened. Set aside the cooked fajita filling in a covered bowl.

Heat the corn tortillas. Place fajita filling in the middle of your warm tortillas and serve. Top with sour cream and shredded cheese, if desired.

This recipe is very easy to modify to your personal preferences. You can add or decrease ingredients as you like. Rice also makes an excellent addition to this meal.

DELICIOUS SPICY TACO PIE

Boil chicken in water until completely done. Remove chicken from pot and debone as soon as it cools. Set chicken aside.

While spaghetti is cooking, saute chopped onion, chopped bell pepper and entire jar of mushrooms (juice too) in 3 tablespoons cooking oil. Now (if spaghetti is fully cooked) add back in the deboned chicken (same pot with spaghetti and chicken broth) and the sauteed mixture as well (oil and all).

Next add the can of Nacho Cheese soup, the corn and the can of Ro-Tel tomatoes. Cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes longer. Add approximately 1 teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon salt to mixture as needed.
