We loved having our clever, jocund friend visit from the U.S. after such a long time. We being pure vegetarians served him only pure vegetarian stuff for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In short, we made him eat everything vegetarian other than grass! Out of the blue, he desired to eat Chinese food and we made up our minds to go to a renowned Chinese eatery. There again, we ordered vegetarian food and our dear friend wanted to eat chicken.

He ordered something he liked from the menu which we did not know anything about. When the item came, he ate it with great relish (may be because we had subjected him to only vegetarian items for so many days). Then he ordered one more plate and polished it off in no time! The recipe was a trade secret, which the manager refused to give up when he asked for it. Then, after much coaxing, cajoling and promise of confidentiality, our guest elicited his chinese chicken recipe. We vociferously warned him to try his recipe after he went back to United States!

For a painless, no hassle meal, crockpot recipes are definitely the way to go. Wake up in the morning, (brush your teeth first nobody likes stinky breath) place the desired seasonings and vegetables in the crockpot, add some chicken stock and a quartered chicken, and place the crockpot on the low setting. Let the slow Cooking magic of the crockpot take over. By the time you return home from work, a glorious smell will be permeating through the entire house. Tired and famished from a hard day at work, dinner will be a snap when you choose something from your arsenal of crockpot chicken recipes.

You can be sure the chicken will not be dry. I will be very moist and juicy so much that it will actually fall off the bone. With a larger crockpot, a family can eat off this no hassle meal for days. Crockpot chicken recipes are a great option for any family. Since I grew up in New York I didn’t eat much Mexican food but I made up for it on my first vacation to California. That was when I was in my mid-20s. Authentic rice and bean dishes, burritos, and tacos are some of the dishes that I slowly feel in love with.

I knew that I wanted to learn to make all of this wonderful Mexican food when I returned home. The only issue I have with the food was the fact that most was made with pork or beef and I don’t really like either. So in addition to collecting recipes for rice and bean dishes, I set out to find at least one mexican chicken recipe that I could learn to prepared in the traditional way once I returned to the big city. It was easier than I thought, since almost any recipe that is made with pork or beef can be made with chicken or even with vegetables.

Ive been Cooking Mexican food now for many years, and my favorite Mexican chicken recipe has turned out to be enchiladas with a creamy jalapeno sauce. Its wonderful, and whenever I serve it to family and friend, they always want the recipe. So if you should ever find yourself at my house for dinner, you can be assured that this recipe is on the menu!
