Mccormick’s Spanish Chicken Skillet

06.20.2011 by Leah //

Last night, AJ and I cooked our first dinner at home.  It’s the first meal we cooked together and for someone who hasn’t cooked in ages, the experience was surprisingly fun and fulfilling.  I am finally turning into a domesticated goddess hehe!

We made Mccormick’s Spanish Chicken Fillet, because we saw this spices set at Rustan’s Supermarket and thought that it’s brilliant:  you get pre-measured spices and a recipe card.   The instructions were also fairly simple so we decided to try it out.

Each pack costs P84.50 and you can do this particular recipe with 1 1/2 lbs (about 6 slices) of  boneless chicken breasts.

The spices, when mixed together, gave off a very flavorful aroma – mainly because of the dried thyme.

Here’s our finished product (sorry for the very plain presentation hehe):

We love the sauce, it’s heaven.  But the chicken lacked some saltiness in it (I think we have to change our brand of iodized salt, really).   Overall, it was a very delicious dish and is also good as a pasta dish!  (we can make chicken parmiggiana with this one).

I want to share the recipe with you and found it at this website.   I’m copying it below for you all to try also:

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt (better use more than 1 tsp, I honestly think 2 tbsp is needed)
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken, boneless, skinless (cut into 6 serving size pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large bell pepper, cut into strips (green or red)
  • 1 large onion  
  • 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained  
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (we used chicken bullion for this)

Spice Mix (in case you don’t want to buy the pre-readied set):

  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon thyme,  dried 
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
     

Directions:

  1. Mix all the spices and then combine them with the 1/4 cup of flour. Put 2 tablespoons of the spiced flour into a large ziptop bag along with the chicken and shake to coat.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken pieces till lightly browned (3-4 minutes per side). Remove to a plate when cooked.
  3. In same pan, sautee the peppers, onion and garlic and cook slightly. Add the tomatoes and heat through.
  4. In a bowl with a lid (I used my blender), combine the cold chicken broth with the leftover flour mixture and then add to the veggies. Stir well. Add cooked chicken back in and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. Sauce should thicken as the liquid comes to a gentle boil.
  5. We served it over yellow rice.


Enjoy the recipe!

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
