Fusion Chicken for dinner tonight...

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
  • 1/4 cup mild green tomatillo salsa
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken strips in the skillet, and sprinkle with the red wine vinegar. Season with 1/2 the pepper, 1/2 the oregano, 1/2 the garlic powder, and 1/2 the nutmeg. Cook 5 minutes, turn, and season with remaining pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and nutmeg.
  1. Place the cilantro, onion, and apples over the chicken in the skillet. Cover, and continue cooking 5 minutes, until chicken juices run clear and apples are slightly tender.
  2. Place the tomatillo salsa in a bowl, and cook in the microwave 2 minutes on High, or until heated through. Serve over the cooked chicken and apples.

I really did finally make this for dinner last night. I served it with rice and black beans wrapped up in a very thin lowfat tortilla. SO GOOD. the kids even liked it (well, not Cole) They thought it was weird that it had apples in it. And the salsa that I served on the top was homemade from my very own garden last fall. Super Yum. We'll have this again (probably tonight).
