Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: Red Pepper and Bacon, Saffron flavored Yellow chicken and potatoes, and Green Onion and Cilantro make a colorful traffic light stew your family will stop in their tracks for. When I was growing up, two of my favorite dishes were Cuban Bean Soup and Chicken with Yellow Rice. This dish was inspired by those 2 dishes. I took my favorite ingredients from both and merged the meals. I hope you enjoy it! Ingredients:
2 (20 ounce) packages simply potatoes diced potatoes with onion |
4 tablespoons bacon bits |
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed |
1 (32 ounce) box chicken broth |
1 red bell pepper, diced |
4 green onions, diced |
1 teaspoon cilantro |
1 teaspoon saffron |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil cooking spray |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Over medium heat, brown chicken breasts cubes in large pot coated with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Stir in bacon bits, red pepper, green onions, cilantro and saffron. Make sure the bacon, vegetables and chicken are well blended. Cook for two minutes on medium heat.
3. Add chicken broth and potatoes. Cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until potatoes are tender. Broth will be cooked away when potatoes are tender.
4. Optional: Garnish with bacon bits or green onions.
