I just ran out and got Chili from Wendy's. I did. I am sure it is not Grandpa's , but I needed chili
Can you make chili with boneless, skinless chicken breasts? I have no ground meat at the moment and now I have a hankerin' for some chili.
(I suppose if I had a meat grinder I could just grind up those chicken breasts :umm:

I think you can make chili with about anything. If you want chicken, use chicken. How can it be any worse than the ground turkey I use?

And I've had some very tasty green chili with chicken. Confession time: I love green chili and have never mastered it. It's my one one of my many secret shames.

Okay - sounds good. I was originally going to do a Chicken a la King (honestly - I am not making this up) but chili sounds better.

2 1/4
pounds boneless beef chuck roast
1/4

  4. For sauce, strain cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan. In a small bowl stir the water into cornstarch; stir into strained cooking liquid. Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in orange marmalade and the remaining 1 tablespoon orange juice.
  5. Add cashews and about half of the sauce to meat mixture; toss gently to coat. Serve over hot cooked noodles. If desired, sprinkle with cilantro. Pass the remaining sauce.

Making tonite.

It started like this, you see... I was shopping on a budget. Chicken on sale. Then I spied a tub of portobellas for cheap cheap. Well, hell - what to make out of it? Marsella! But oh no, I now need wine, and I don"t drink anymore.
Got the wine anyway, tiny bottle that will evap out of the dish. So now my budget chicken dinner has gone fancy.

    • Prep Time: 10 minutes

PREPARATION

Beat the eggs lightly with chopsticks, add a dash of salt (Add a bit of oyster sauce if desired).

Chop the chicken meat and dice the onion and green onion.
Heat wok and add oil. When oil is ready, pour 1/2 of the egg mixture into the wok and cook over medium heat, turning over once. Cook the other half the same way. Cut the egg into thin strips, and save for later.
