Saturday+Sunday: Savoury+Sweet

Here is 1 savoury recipe i tried about a month ago and is now a family favourite of ours, and 1 sweet recipe I want to try soon (want to see if it works as a lactose free version!)....

Savoury: (my adaptation)

One-Pan Mexican Chicken (serves 4)

A pack of taco/burrito seasoning

couple tblspns dried oregano/basil

2 garlic cloves, chopped / 2 big spoons of garlic in a jar

bit of olive oil

8 chicken drumsticks

a medium red onion, quartered+thinly sliced

1 medium red capsicum, chopped

400g can tomatoes

375g jar thick and chunky salsa

1 1/2 cups chicken stock

400g kidney beans, drained+rinsed

1/3 cup rice

Preheat oven to 180C. Put seasoning, herbs, garlic, chicken and enough oil to just coat the chicken into a  saucepan. Rub into chicken. Cook chicken until outside is browned. In a casserole dish (or any dish that can be oven-baked), add the browned chicken, onion, capsicum, tomatoes, salsa and stock. Bake for 50mins turning chicken halfway through. Add beans and rice. Stir. Bake for 20-25mins or until rice and chicken is cooked. Remove from oven. Serve with refried beans or by itself. Enjoy.
