5-Layered Mexican Chicken

This recipe is perfect for those cold winter nights and it is absolutely super easy to make. The base of this dish is flavored rice topped with beans, chicken, sour cream, and tortilla chips. All you have to do is prepare each layer separately, and when it's time to eat, just pile up each layer over the other to get this delicious result.

for the rice:

1 cup of rice

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp paprika

salt&pepper (to taste)

water

Combine 1 cup of rice with all the dry ingredients and cook according to package directions. Set aside when done.

for the beans:

1 can of refried beans

2 tsp of brown sugar

2 tbsp of salsa

1 tbsp of sweet and sour sauce

1/2 tsp garlic powder

splash of milk

salt&pepper (to taste)

Combine the refried beans, brown sugar, salsa, sweet and sour sauce, garlic powder, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium sauce pan over medium high heat until bubbly. Lower heat, cover, and keep warm until ready to serve.

for the chicken:

1-1/2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 cloves of garlic

1 large onion

1 tsp oregano

1/4 cup of salsa

2 tbsp of mayo

1 tsp teriyaki sauce

1 tbsp olive oil

salt&pepper (to taste)

Drizzle your pan with olive oil and set at a medium heat until the pan is hot. Cut up the onion and garlic and add to the pan for 5-10 minutes until the onion withers. Meanwhile, cut up your chicken breast into thin strips and add to the withered onions and garlic. After the chicken is slightly browned on each side (about after 5 minutes), add the oregano, salsa, mayo, teriyaki sauce, salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Now that the rice, beans, and chicken are cooked, grab a plate.

Add some rice to the plate and top it off with a layer of beans, a layer of chicken, a layer of sour cream, and a handful of tortilla strips. Enjoy :)
