Southwest Chicken

Prep and cooking time was less than 20 minutes.

1 package of boneless skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced (walmart has chicken that is trimmed and ready, premium thinly sliced)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp of chili powder (I used a little bit more)
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano

Turn broiler on high. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray (pam works best). Place chicken on cookie sheet. Mix all the other ingredients in a small bowl. Lightly brush the tops of the chicken breasts with mixture, saving some of the mixture. Place in broiler about 4-6 below broiler for 6 minutes. Flip chicken and brush the other side of chicken. Place back in broiler for another 6 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Ready to serve. Very yummy and quick to make. Serve with veggies and black beans or rice and enjoy.

Meatball Tortellini

Easy and quick if you are busy for the night. Kids love it and yummy.

1 package (16 ounces) frozen California-blend veggies
1 package (14 ounces) frozen cooked Italian meatballs
1 package of frozen cheese tortellini
2 cans cream of mushroom
2 1/4 cups of water
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning

In slow cooker combine first 3 ingredients. In a large bowl mix next three ingredients and pour over mixture in cooker and mix well. Cover and set cooker on low for about 5 hours. You could also cook on high the first hour or 2 and then set to low temp. Once veggies are tender and tortellini is cooked serve and enjoy.

If you are feeding Mike and Erin this is one of his favorites. He has asked me to make it for him when he was coming for the big game.
