Chicken Broccoli Bake

This recipe is so easy and so good, even your kids will eat the broccoli in it!  
I won't give you measurements, because I want you to decide how much you need/want
in each serving. 

No recipe can ever be bad if it starts with bacon.  This one does!  I counted on 2 pieces per chicken breast, but you can use more if you so desire. 

Next you need to get shredded cheese and ranch dressing.  (again, I did about 1/2 cup on each breast except for my daughter who wanted more!) 

I used one large bunch of fresh broccoli and 1 chicken breast per person.  As you can see these breasts were HUGE so I cut them in half; placing the 'toppings' in the middle instead.

So, salt and pepper your chicken, cut into if you so desire and top with broccoli, bacon, cheese and how ever much Ranch dressing you want.  About a tablespoon is what I used.  Then I placed the other half of the chicken on top of the mixture and wrapped it up in foil.  Each person had their own foil packet.


This is what it looked like before putting it in the oven at 400 Degrees for 30-40 minutes...
This is what is looked like after I removed it from the foil and slid it on the plate.  It was such a great meal.  Easy and here comes the sarcasm....next time I won't use bacon.  HA (I'll use more)

 In the words of my son, "bacon is fairy dust for food".

Buffalo Chicken Blue Cheese Tacos

Here Goes! This is so easy it is ridiculous....1 chicken breast will make 3-4 tacos so you decide how many you make
This is the MAGIC bullet.  Tuong Ot Sriracha---------it's Chinese for DANG THIS IS HOTT!

So, while your chicken is grilling, cut up anything you want on your tacos.  I used tomatoes, shredded lettuce, green onions, jalapenos, and an avocado.  Oh, and don't forget the CRUMBLED BLUE CHEESE! Grill your chicken breasts and coat it with the buffalo sauce.  When you turn it, coat it again! 

THIS. IS. IMPORTANT.  When you take it off the grill and cube it, squeeze 1/2 a lime on it.  THEN...if you want it hotter, put it in a pan and add more sauce heating it slowly.  I didn't because we are pansies in this house!  I served all of this on a corn tortilla, but let's not kid, those things fall apart so you decide if you want a corn or flour tortilla.

This sauce is ridiculously good, and (sarcasm note*)  so easy to clean up!

Bring out the big guns for your cutting board!

 As you well know if you follow my blog, I never get a picture of the 'plated' dish!  I live with savages.  But they are my savages and they love this dish.  Throw a few chips and hot sauce out and you've got an easy meal!
