PORK LOIN STUFFED WITH FETA AND SUNDRIED TOMATOES

Well, this was a nice Sunday afternoon dinner. It turned out great. This can easily be used with chicken breasts too. But the pork loins have been on sale so much that I'm stocked up. It was easy to assemble and looks beautiful when it's done.

1 pork loin filet (1 1/2 pounds)
3 sundried tomatoes from a jar(oil packed)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
mrs dash seasoning salt

Set oven to 375. Cut pork lengthwise (butterfly it). Sprinkle cheese along one open side. Cut up the tomotoes and sprinkle on top of cheese. Close the loin and sprinkle seasoing salt over top-put a few toothpicks in to keep closed. Bake in oven for about 40 min or until slightly pink to no pink. What ever you prefer.

Enjoy!

ADOBO CHILI

I wasn't for sure on this and then after it all the taste joined together....yummy!

1 can (7 ounces) chipoltle peppers in adobo sauce
1 pount ground turkey
1 pound ground beef
2 medium red bell peppers diced
1/2 yellow onion diced
1 can diced fire roasted tomatoes
1 can chicken broth
1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon each-dried basil and oregano
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder

Cook the turkey and beef together in a pan. In the meantime-chop 2-3 SEEDED chipolte peppers and take 2 tablespoons of the adobe sauce and put in slow cooker. Drain and put all other ingrediants in slow cooker -mix well. Cook on low 3 hours or 1-2 hours on high. It's good. My employee's loved it. You can make it hotter by leaving some seeds in or or more peppers. But it was pretty spicey the way it was but not too over the top.

CHICKEN ENSENADA

Ok, who's been to RED ROBIN and had the Chicken Ensenada platter? It's good. Well, I was playing around and wala I think I found the recipe for the chicken. It's soooo good. It would be great on salad also.

3 chicken breasts-flattened
1/2 package of hidden valley ranch-fiesta style
1/2 cup of grated parm cheese(green can)

Mix the parm cheese and ranch packet together and put in a baggy. Add the chicken one at a time and then fry in a hot frying pan turning each piece of chicken once. It will take about 3 min per side. It's so easy, fast and yummy. ENJOY!

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

When we camp in our vintage 1974 Avion trailer we need to make the most of our space and time--plus watch the heat in the summer. So when I'm cooking I get to let me creative skills flow. That's how I came up with this little wonder. It turned out great. Chris had seconds.

4 chicken skinless breasts
2 tsps yellow mustard
4 tsps mayo
4 slices fully cooked deli ham-no sugar added
1 cup parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
1/4 cup mayo
4 slices swiss cheese

Flatten chicken breasts out to an even thickness. Mix mayo and mustard together. Spread each breast with mixture. Salt and pepper nicely. Add a slice of cheese and ham to each chicken breast and then roll them up and put a toothpick in each one. Roll each breast in mayo(1/4cup) and then roll in parmesan cheese. Put in a greased 2qt microwave safe baking dish. Place in microwave on high for 7 min. Then roll them over and cook for another 5-7 mins. You can always make a little more sauce of mustard and mayo mix and put on top and then it will warm on the chicken. It is very good.
Enjoy!

PEPPERED YELLOW SQUASH
