Easy and Quick Oven Baked Chicken

DSCF2295

It is SO nice to have cooked chicken breast for a quick meal with sides, on salad, for a sandwich, to use in another recipe, for tacos, quesadillas, with pasta, in a wrap, or another way. I could go for a while : ) . This chicken is not only fast to make, it is delicious with lots of flavor from seasonings and is versatile.

What you’ll need

Chicken breast, spices (I used oregano, basil, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper), and olive oil

DSCF2266 (1)

First get those spices measured and mixed up

Note: If I know I am making this chicken for dinner, I sometimes double this recipe so I have extra for cooking with and leftovers later in the week for other quick meals.

Chicken Enchilada Bake

DSCF1723

My husband requests this often. It is that good. A quick, easy take on chicken enchiladas baked in the oven in layers.  This is my take on it, I’ve seen other recipes use refried beans but I love using whole black beans and frozen corn, which bakes in the oven and goes so well with the dish. You can make it vegetarian by omitting the chicken if desired.  My mouth is watering just typing about this recipe. Let’s get started.

1.Get your ingredients ready

DSCF1648

2. Place sauce to bottom of pan, then place two tortilla pieces on top,

DSCF1673

3. Layer tortilla pieces to the sides

DSCF1678

4. And then the other side to form one solid layer of tortilla.

DSCF1679

5.  Layer with 1/2 half cup of frozen corn and 1 cup of black beans (1/2 can)DSCF1681

6. Layer with chicken, cheese and 1/3 cup enchilada sauce

DSCF1685

7. REPEAT to make another entire layer of tortilla, corn/beans, chicken/cheese and sauce.

8. Final layer is tortillas, enchilada sauce and then cheese

DSCF1695

9. Cover with foil, made to a point to prevent the cheese from sticking to the foil

DSCF1697

10. Bake for 30 minutes while covered with foil, remove foil and then bake for 5 more minutes. I always put the baking dish on a cookie sheet to catch anything as it bakes.

Chicken Enchilada Bake

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 can black beans (15 0z) rinsed and drained
  • 1 can enchilada sauce (I like the red mild best but the green is great too)
  • 2 cooked medium chicken breasts, shredded or diced
  • 2 cups Mexican cheese
  • 6 Tortillas (small or large) – each cut in half
  • Optional to use for garnish: Cilantro, sour cream, avocado, salsa

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Using a square 9X9 pan, first place several spoonfuls of enchilada sauces to the bottom (6-8spoonfuls).
  3. Arrange tortillas (4 of the ½ pieces) overlapping to form a layer.
  4. Place ½ can of black beans (about 1 cup) and ½ cup frozen corn on top of tortillas.
  5. Arrange ½ of cooked shredded chicken and 1/2 cup cheese, followed by 1/3 cup enchilada sauce.
  6. Repeat layer 3,4, and 5  (So you have an additional tortilla layer, corn/bean, chicken/cheese and sauce layer).
  7. Last layer will be the last of the tortillas, rest of the enchilada sauce, and 1 cup of cheese.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes with foil made to a peak on a baking sheet.
  9. Remove foil and back for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven, let sit for 10 minutes, cut into pieces, garnish with cilantro, sour cream, or avocado if desired and enjoy!

Best Turkey Burger Recipe

Now that is getting warm out, I like to cook QUICK, TASTY, and EASY meals. Emphasis on QUICK. When it is nice out there’s so many things to do outside, plans with friends and family, and really just other things I want to do besides following LONG recipes. I use this recipe to get the most juicy and tasty turkey burger in minutes. I have been pinpointing the ratios of ingredients over the last few years and I found the best combo. The turkey burgers give me the satisfaction of a hamburger but not so heavy! I usually pair it with roasted vegetables, a sweet potato, or a side salad. Let me show you HOW EASY THIS is.

  1. Get your ingredients
Ground turkey, parmesan, and spices (oregano, salt and pepper)

2. Mix

I mix the ingredients right in the container

3. Form burgers

I form turkey burger patties on a separate plate

4. Cook over medium heat

I cook over medium heat after preheating the pan with oil

5. Add cheese

yummy yummy cheese

6. Pair with favorite toppings and a veggie side

Hope’s Tasty Turkey Burgers

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (I use natural parmesan that is stored in fridge but any will work)
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp Oil for cooking (canola/olive oil or other cooking oil)

Instructions:

  1. Mix oregano, salt and pepper together in small dish.
  2. Mix spices with parmesan cheese and ground turkey, forming 4 patties
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes (LETTING THE PAN HEAT UP IS KEY TO GET A GOLDEN BROWN)
  4. Add turkey burger patties to the hot pan, browning for 4 minutes, then flip to other side, all while the pan is uncovered (no lid).
  5. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until other side is brown also and then flip the burgers one last time. Next, turn off the stove burner, cover with the lid and continue to let cook in pan with the burner off and for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Then uncover the lid to add cheese and let sit another minute. Then top with your favorite burger toppings and enjoy!

Happy Cooking!
