Cajun Flair Grilled Chicken Soup

November 5, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: Kip Alexandre’ Faulk

Prep/Cooking Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

Ingredients:

1 large onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 can Rotel tomatoes w/ Chiles (Mexican Syle if possible)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 package taco seasoning mix (I like Old El Paso)
1 can kidney beans (w/ liquid)
1 can pinto beans (w/ liquid)
1 cans or 2 black beans (w/ liquid)
1 can whole kernel corn
1 package Hidden Valley Ranch dry mix
4 ounces lime juice
1 can water
3 boneless chicken breasts
chili powder
salt
cayenne pepper

Directions:

Sautee’ diced onions over a medium heat for about 10 minutes (until wilted). Add 1 can of diced onions and 1 can Rotel tomatoes w/Chiles.

Allow these to cook for about a minute, constantly stirring to prevent sticking. Now add a can of tomato sauce (keep the can to use later to measure water). Allow this mixture to sit for a minute or so, and then add all of your other canned ingredients. Once all the canned ingredients are added, mix the taco seasoning mix and 1 cup of water inside the empty tomato sauce can. Pour this mixture into the pot.

Next, in a bowl, wisk the Hidden Valley Ranch dry mix into the lime juice (the mixture will probably have a few clumps in it; this is ok.)

Now add that mixture to the main pot as well and stir everything together.

In a skillet, or grill, grill 3 chicken breats until they are nearly cooked. *Do not cook them thoroughly as they will dry up and not absorb any liquid.* Next, cube the chicken breasts into 1/4 inch cubes. Add the chicken to the main pot and cook for one hour.

Enjoy!

Recommended Sides: This would go well with cornbread, or as a complement to any main entree’.

Prep/Cooking Time: Prep Time: 20 Minutes / Cook Time: 30 Minutes

Ingredients:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup bottled teriyaki sauce or marinade
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 onion, chopped
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

Directions:

Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.

Lay out four squares of aluminum foil. Place one piece of chicken in the center of each square. Pour the teriyaki sauce over them, turning to coat. Distribute equal amounts of the green and red peppers, onion and pineapple chunks amongst the chicken pieces. Fold the foil up and seal tightly into packets.

Place the packets on the grill, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. I like to take one packet off the grill and check it before removing them all.
