Chicken Ranchero

"I do not remember where this recipe came from, originally it called for beef chuck. I've modified it and now make it with chicken. It's always well received at my house. You can make it mild or hot, depending on the type of salsa you choose. Serve with a salad and some warmed up tortillas."

  1. We really didn't care for this very much. I think we just prefer tomato based mexican dishes. If you really like green chili salsa, you'll love this. Its got some kick to it too!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>My favorite cookbook, well I guess I have 3...The Way to Cook, by Julia Child, the Low Fat Living Cookbook and The California Wine Country Cookbook II. I am retired, due to no longer being able to work because of complications from the Crohns Disease I have lived with since 1971. For a while I didn't even do any cooking or knitting since the inflammatory arthrisis (secondary to the Crohns) was too painful in my hands and feet. Fortunately I am now on a drug protocol that seems to be working, but I am still not able to be as productive as I would like. Still can't work, but I am cooking and knitting again. My husband and I moved to Surprise, Arizona at the end of January 2005. My husband is retired from being in the wine business. I love to cook (and we love to eat) and am always looking for new recipies to try. Due to a slight blood sugar problem my husband has to stick to a diet that eliminates sugars and bad carbs, so I have had to modify a lot of the recipes we like. I love Recipezaar, as I have found so many good, healthy recipes here. I hope you enjoy the recipes that I post as much as I have enjoyed the new ones I've found here.</p>
