I got this from either epicurious or allrecipes awhile ago and love it! I dont use the pimentos though.
Spanish style chicken and rice
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt, divided
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper
* 2 bone-in chicken breast halves
* 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
* 1/2 cup chopped onion
* 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 1 (2.5 ounce) jar sliced pimentos, drained
* 1/2 cup uncooked rice
* 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
* 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
* 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
Directions
1. Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and shake until well coated. In a skillet, brown chicken in butter over medium heat. Remove chicken; set aside and keep warm. In the pan drippings, saute onion, green pepper and garlic until tender. Add pimientos and rice. Reduce heat; cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in broth, turmeric, chili powder and remaining salt; bring to a boil. Pour into an ungreased 2-qt. baking dish; top with chicken. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and rice is tender.

Anyone have some other good marinades? I found that to be convenient as hell for our schedules!

I'm a man of "snacks" rather than recipes...
A personal versatile, quick favorite:
*A can of refried beans.
*A tablespoon of fresh bacon grease.
*Tortillas.
*Cheese (sliced or shredded).
Mix the bacon grease into the beans while it's still fluid, blending thoroughly. Evenly spread about a tablespoon of the mixture on a tortilla (I prefer flour, but if corn's your thing...), and cover with cheese of your choice. At this point, you can either roll it up as is, or do what I do and add some cayenne pepper and salt. If it isn't already hot, nuke for 30 seconds and enjoy.
Lest some of you worry about the "musical fruit", you only use a little at a time, as it's quite filling; one can with a package of tortillas will easily last me a week.

Yup, I've been taking shredded cheese and tortillas microwaving them for a min, and then crisping them on the bottom of the rack of the oven for years. Cheap and quick. Good for kids, just avoid the oven if you need to, and pizza cutters are safe.
Salsa and Sour Cream dip. Yum. Lol
Why do you use bacon grease instead of a meat or something Belisarius?

I was looking for something more along the line of chicken. That's about all we eat around here.
Sorry I should have been more specific. But I'll put that one in my resipe box, speaking of...
Orange Julius
1/2 cup each of milk and water
1 cup of a 6oz cap of frozen orange juice concentrate
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
16 ice cubes
Blend in blender until smooth
(for all you Aussies that need something cool)
(Now something for those of us freezeing our asses off in this snow)
Russian Tea
1/2 cup instant tea
2 cups Tang
1 12 ounce package of powdered lemonade mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups sugar
Mix and store in a festive jar (makes a fun holiday gift for family) Put 2 rounded teaspoons in a cup. Pour hot water over it and stir.
And 2 chicken
Better and fresher than any Chinese food you can get. Not sitting under a heat lamp helps.
Crispy Chicken Stir Fry
1 cup Bisquick
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups diced uncooked chicken breast
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup oil
3 medium carrots, cut diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces
1 green pepper, cut into strips
1 small onion, cut into thin slices and separated
1 can pineapple chunks, drained (optional)
Serve with white rice, sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce
Mix Bisquick and pepper in a large plastic bag. Stir chicken into eggs and remove with a slotted spoon. Place in the bag and shake until coated. Remove from bag and set aside. Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot. Stir-fry carrots for 2 minutes; add onion and green pepper and stir- fry for 2 more minutes. Remove from the skillet and keep warm (I turn the oven on really low and put them in there until the chicken is done, it also softens them a bit) Add remaining oil to skillet until hot. Stir-fry chicken until golden brown. Add carrots, green pepper and onion. Stir-fry until warm, about 2 minutes. Stir in pineapple. Serve over hot rice and choice of sauce.
No Fuss Baked Chicken
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2 Tablespoons prepared (yellow) mustard
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2/3 cup cornflake crumbs
Mix mayo, cheese and mustard together. Measure out 1/3 cup of the mixture add refrigerate. Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with the remaining mixture. Arrange in a lightly greased shallow baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. Serve with the remaining mixture.
If anyone tries any of these let me know. I kinda wonder what the rest of the world thinks of Midwest Iowa cooking...

Re Pillthrill:
I love bacon; the grease adds a marvelous undertone, especially if the beans are already spicy. For the record, I generally use fat-free vegetarian beans, both to limit the heaviness and so that the bacon is the dominant flavor.
I'm the most Dixie when it comes to bacon.

A bit of fresh lemon juice, blended with lots of fresh dill, a clove or three of garlic, a little bit of oil and plenty of salt and pepper makes for good mashed potatoes. Mix the dressing with hot, freshly mashed potatoes just before serving.
