Does she like chicken quesadillas?

I'd like to try green salsa aka salsa verde on tacos sometime.

Thank you. I just went and had a look. I found a chicken enchilada
casserole that I'm going to cook for dinner tonight.

No. Hates them actually.

I don't think so. Those appear to be recipes that *use* chicken. Like
enchiladas. Seeing as how she is only allowed one serving of carb with her
meal, those wouldn't work. I just need a way to cook the chicken. Not put
it *in* something.

Doesn't matter since the recipes are useless to me. I want a way to cook
the chicken. Not a casserole or other carby thing that uses chicken.

Really? This is a "casserole or other carby thing?" LOL, hardly. There are a
lot of good recipes there, and with a little "imagination" on your part any
of the mexican chicken recipes could be adapted to any diet, except
vegetarian.

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces

1 tablespoon chili powder, divided

salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup chopped green bell pepper

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced

1 large tomato, cut into chunks

10 drops hot pepper sauce

Directions:

1.Season chicken with 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, salt and pepper. Heat oil
in a large skillet over medium high heat and saute seasoned chicken for 3 to
4 minutes, or until no longer pink. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon
and keep warm.
2.In same skillet, stir fry bell pepper and onion until soft. Add jalapeno
peppers, tomatoes, remaining 1/2 tablespoon chili powder and hot pepper
sauce. Cook, stirring, for an additional 3 to 5 minutes; add chicken and
stir fry for 2 minutes more.

I did not see that recipe but that is not something she would eat because of
the tomatoes in it. And I really wanted something that was *just* chicken.
Not chicken and vegetables.

Take a chicken breast with bones and skin. Sprinkle it with whatever
seasonings she might like such as granulated garlic, black pepper, onion
powder, and/or paprika. Bake in a 350° oven until juices are clear when
you stick a fork in the meaty part. That is "just" chicken and I've
never found anyone who didn't like it.

There are all kinds of low carb tortillas available that could be used in
this kind of recipe. I get some that are small and 3 carbs per tortilla,
and others that arae large(like a wrap) with about 6 net carbs. I use
these for all kinds of things.

Why would I do that? I asked for a recipe using boneless, skinless breast.
She will not eat anything with bones in it. Neither will several other
people I know, including me! So now you have found people who wouldn't like
that!

She does *not* eat low carb. She is on the South Beach diet. She can not
eat low carb tortillas and neither can I because of the ingredients. If I
wanted a recipe for something that involved tortillas I would have asked for
that. I did not. I foolishly assumed that somebody might actually have a
recipe for boneless skinless chicken breast with a Mexican seasoning. But
no. All I get are other recipes that are not for that.

Burrito style. Cube the chicken and fry it in a bit of oil then add the
seasonings.

I might try that next. I have a recipe for baking in the oven. Of course I
would find something that wouldn't involve the three new pans I have been
itching to use.

When you cube it, how long does it cook for? My big mistake is always in
cooking it for too long. My mom always cooked her meat to death which is
probably one reason why I dislike meat so much today. I tend to do the same
after once serving my husband some chicken that caused him to shriek that it
was raw in the middle. It wasn't. It was just slightly pink. Oh and his
mom cooked meat to death too.

Couple of minutes. I cut a piece open to see if it is cooked.
