Mushroom and Swiss Chicken
About this Cook
Starting in July, I will begin working toward a Culinary Arts B.A. at Kendall College. Hooray.
My favorite things to cook
Mexican cuisine and breakfast/brunch.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My girlfriend and I listen to jazz, lounge, hip hop, etc... Throw in some Tom Waits and a little Bjork and you have a unique cooking soundtrack. Music and food go hand in hand, in my opinion.
My cooking triumphs
I am still working on recipes for turkey meatloaf and chili and I have begun working on several egg dishes and a completely killer pizza. I will put them on here when they are good enough.
My cooking tragedies
I'm still pretty bad with bread products, but I'm getting better.

Acapulco Chicken
I gave this recipe four stars because it tastes good and is easy to make, as well as remaining inexpensive. I would, however, modify it quite a bit the next time I make it. For instance, I don't agree with using a hot pepper sauce when I could use a teaspoon of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or various other forms of heat and flavor that don't come in a bottle. I'm not saying not to use hot sauce and chili powder -- that is what makes it easy. I just would make the flavor a little more complex to suite my personal taste.

Crispy Baked Chicken
A very quick and easy recipe. If you are making comfort food and trying to avoid a little of the fat, try this with skinless boneless chicken breasts. Very good.
