Yummy Chicken Tacos

From the episode: Southwestern Suppers

To warm the tortillas, wrap them in foil and heat in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. Top the tacos with shredded lettuce, grated cheese, diced avocado, tomato, and sour cream.

Serves 6.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves , minced
2 teaspoons minced chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Salt and pepper
12 (6-inch) flour tortillas


1. POACH CHICKEN Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and chipotle and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in orange juice, Worcestershire, and ½ cup cilantro and bring to boil. Add chicken and simmer, covered, over medium-low heat until meat registers 160 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through cooking. Transfer to plate and tent with foil.

2. SHRED AND SAUCE Increase heat to medium-high and cook until liquid is reduced to ¼ cup, about 5 minutes. Off heat, whisk in mustard.

Amy's Famous Artichoke Dip

I don't remember where my family got this recipe, or why I'm always the one to make it. But everyone loves this dip! It is great for large gatherings. These are not exact measurements, because I've never measured exactly, and I don't believe in it with this recipe.

1/2 Costco jar of artichoke hears (chopped into small bite size)
1/2 jar Kraft Lite Mayo (Or the Olive Oil Mayo, just make sure it's Kraft)
1/2 jar Parmesan cheese
1 tsp chopped garlic (I like the fresh kind from a jar, but dried works too)

Mix it all together except a small amount of cheese. Dish into 9 x 13 inch glass pan. Sprinkle light layer of Parmesan cheese on top. Cook for about an hour at 350 degrees.

If you need lots, use the entire jar of each ingredient and double the garlic. Use (2) 9 x 13 inch pans.

Serve with Ritz crackers or tortilla chips.
