3 Day And 3 Way Chicken Recipe
- 5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts water
- 2 x to 3 pkgs. of taco seasoning
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 can kidney beans
- 1 can corn
- 24 x -36 flour tortillas
- 1 x -2 lbs shredded cheddar
- Day one:Place chicken in a large pot and cover with water.
- Simmer chicken till very tender and easily shredded.
- Add in taco seasoning to taste (usually 2 or possibly 3 packets) and stir well.
- Continue to simmer till water is evaporated and there is a thick sauce from the seasoning.
- Shred the chicken well and stir well again to make sure seasoning is throughout chicken.
- Place a small amount of chicken on a tortilla-top with shredded cheddar
- (again this is to taste you may need one lb.
- or possibly only half a lb.-the other lb.
- mentioned above is for day 3) Top with another tortilla and place in a warm frying pan with NO OIL.
- I spin mine several times and flip several times during cooking so they don't burn.
- When nicely browned and cheese is melted they are done.
- This makes 12 Quesadillas.
- Day two:Take half the leftover chicken mix and add in tomatoes, corn, kidney beans, and sufficient water to cover.
- Add in any additional spices, etc.
- you would like.
- I added some more cumin and a bay leaf.
- Simmer till heated through.
- You can serve this soup with crispy tortilla strips or possibly corn tortilla chips.
- I like to cut flour tortillas into strips, season with garlic, cumin, and salt and fry till brownedthen top the soup with them.
- Makes 6 large bowls of soup
- Day three:Add in the remainder of the chicken to the soup and simmer till nearly all the liquid is evaporated stirring often.
- Place a small amount on a hot flour tortilla and top with shredded cheddar.
- Again, this may be from 1/2 to 1 lb.
- depending on your tastes.
- The Quesadillas are easy to pre-make and freeze-just fill and top but do not brown them.
- Just pack them each in foil or possibly plastic and lay flat in the freezer.
- Pop them out and fry (again, no oil) till browned and cheese is melted.
