A Complete Microwaved Meal April 26, 2010

Posted by Marina in : Spring 2010 , trackback

As the semester is slowly coming to an end, we are all getting tired of the same chicken patty and frrench fries from Rockland at the end of our day.  Thus, I decided tonight that I was going to try something different.  I decided I was going to make a complete meal in the microwave that isn’t the simple, same old, boring, spaghetti. 

To begin my tasty journey, I thought back to my childhood and all the concoctions I made growing up.  I knew that today food packaged to be cooked in the microwave is easier to find and at a wide variety.  So I gathered up my car keys, my wallet, and my friend Ashleigh and headed out to Shoppers where I knew they had a ton of microwavable goodies.  As I walked in the doors to the grocery store, my idea had come full circle.  Growing up, and even now, my favorite food was taco’s.  And that, my friends, is what I made tonight.  Let me explain the ingredients you need and how you can make your complete microwaved meal!

Microwaved Chicken Taco’s

Ingredients:  Tyson’s Fajita Marinated Chicken Strips, Old El Paso Chicken Soft Taco Dinner Kit, Old El Paso Fiesta Rice, Microwavable Steamable Corn, Shredded Cheese and other toppings you desire.

Directions:  Cook corn and rice as directed in microwave then place in separate tuperware containers to stay warm.  Take your bag(s) of chicken, open, and place the chicken into a glass bowl.  Cook the chicken as directed and add 90 seconds.  Once the chicken is warm/hot, open the dinner kit and pour the taco seasoning onto the chicken.  Add 1/2 to 3/4 cups of water and mix the seasoning in with the chicken.  Heat for an additional 2 minutes or more as desired.  Sit chicken aside.  Take tortillas and heat, two at a time on a microwave safe plate, for 15 seconds with cheese on top.  Add chicken, red sauce included in the kit, and other toppings to complete your mexican fiesta!

It is simple, delicious, and cheap!  You must try this before leaving for the semester!
