chicken (my mom's recipe calls for a cooked chicken; I used 3 breasts)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can chopped Rotel tomatoes
1 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder
1 dozen corn tortillas
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Boil chicken until tender and retain stock. Dice chicken.
Saute onion and pepper until tender. Dip tortillas in chicken stock and line a 13x9 baking dish. Place diced chicken on tortillas, then spread onion and peppers over chicken; sprinkle with chili powder. Mix both soups and pour over chicken. Sprinkle with grated cheese, then spread tomatoes with their juice over the top. Spoon a couple of ladles of broth over the top for moisture.
Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes, until bubbly.
Chicken Fajitas
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 stick butter
1 cap full Mrs. Dash (regular or chipotle)
1 large onion
1 green pepper
1/4 brown sugar
lettuce, tomato, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, tortillas
Slice chicken into long strips, place in pan with half of the butter and Mrs. Dash. Cook until done and lightly browned. Stir in a small amount of water or chicken broth and the brown sugar. Cook until caramelized.
Chop the pepper and onions into strips and rings, sauté in a separate skillet with the remaining butter. Cook until onions are caramelized and peppers have crispy edges.
These fajitas are really easy to make and a little different because they're sweet and spicy.

Italian Wedding Soup
Meatballs:
1 small onion, grated
1/3 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 large egg
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 slice fresh white bread, crust trimmed, bread torn into small pieces
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
8 ounces ground beef
8 ounces ground pork
Freshly ground black pepper
Soup:
12 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 pound curly endive, coarsely chopped (1 pound of escarole would be a good substitution)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for garnish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
To make the meatballs: Stir the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl to blend. Stir in the cheese, beef and pork. Using 1 1/2 teaspoons for each, shape the meat mixture into 1-inch-diameter meatballs. Place on a baking sheet.
To make the soup: Bring the broth to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and curly endive and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through and the curly endive is tender, about 8 minutes. Whisk the eggs and cheese in a medium bowl to blend. Stir the soup in a circular motion. Gradually drizzle the egg mixture into the moving broth, stirring gently with a fork to form thin stands of egg, about 1 minute. Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve. Finish soup with parmesan cheese if desired.
