Chicken and Mexican Rice Tacos

     I needed to make something that didn't take a long time. My taste buds called for rice and chicken, but I wanted to to do something a little different. Hey, tacos seemed like a great idea. The typical taco in my memory consist of hamburger and crushed tomatoes, lettuce, cream cheese, etc. I'm not much of a cream cheese person and neither are my boys. So, I thought, let's put together something simple that the little ones wouldn't pick apart. Chicken and Rice Tacos.
 
Here's what you will need to yield 10-12 tacos:

1 tablespoon Oil
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 green peppers
Garlic Salt - as needed
Garlic Power - as  needed
Your choice of seasoning - as needed
Poultry Seasoning - as needed
2 tablespoon Italian Dressing
1 Pack of Yellow Mexican Rice (or Mexican rice of your choice)
1 box of tacos 
1 lb Boneless Chicken Strips

Reserve at least three burners stove top.

In a skillet on the first burner, you will put the diced onions and peppers in oil to cook. Reduce to simmer. Sprinkle a dash of garlic powder on top. Cover.

In a second pan, place oil and rinsed chicken strips to fry. I placed a little water in the pan with the oil to keep the chicken from turning brown. This will keep the chicken light in color once it is done. Season chicken with garlic salt, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, and Italian dressing for added flavor. Reduce heat.

In a third pot, cook your yellow Mexican rice as directed.

Place your tacos on a flat cooking tray in the oven for 5 minutes. I cooked it on 350 degrees to warm them to a light toast. Don't leave them any longer than that. They will burn.



After the rice, the chicken, and the onions and peppers are cooked, you can start building your tacos.

Enjoy!

PF Chang's

I ate out at PF Chang's with a friend this past weekend. The food was delicious. This restaurant is located in downtown Providence, Rhode Island in the mall complex. It is a perfect location for tourist when they visit. They are going to get really good business during the Waterfire Celebrations Providence hosts a few times a year. For those of you who don't know what Waterfire is....it is when art lovers or hopeless romantics from all over come through to watch the gondolas pass in the Providence River, visit local art museums and galleries, sit outside and dine at fine restaurants, etc. So since PF Chang's establishment arrived, I think it will add some extra cuisine to the already fabulous selections downtown. I grew to love PF Chang's for the first time when I visited Atlantic City, New Jersey. I went there many times when I lived in New Jersey and still frequent it now that I live in Rhode Island. I can't get enough of AC....

Rise and Shine

This was my breakfast this morning. I got tired of the traditional bagel or the two slices of white toast with peanut butter that seemed to become the norm. I was in the market early in the morning looking for a change; a new flavor to stimulate my palate and at the same time fill my body with essential vitamins and minerals. I'm not so ready to jump buildings in single bounds but this good choice of breakfast helped me tackle my eventful day. I will just leave the tall leaps and metal bending for Clark Kent (S-man).

Helping Out the Next Guy!

I won't provide any visuals on today's blog. I just wanted to keep it anonymous. I helped out a stranger today. I was amongst a group of able bodies who could have extended a hand but ignored the choice. It wasn't a major issue but I felt the need to act. I visited a government office today. It was a rainy day. Since the building was not yet open a line of rain-drenched people stood out in front, waiting feverishly to be let inside. I saw this line from afar as I parked my vehicle. My vehicle was warm and acted as a great shield from the rain. Most people had umbrellas or wore hoodied jackets. I guess they were as prepared for the rain than they will ever be. However, what caught my attention was a gentlemen hovering on the other side of the doors. He chose to cower on the other side of the building to avoid the wet wind that flowed from behind the backs of those who waited in line. He wore no jacket and he had no umbrella. At first, I almost mumbled to myself, "How...
