MAKE AHEAD MEXICAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES.

Steps:

• PREHEAT oven to 400°F
• Cut Chicken in half to make two thin slices instead of one thick breast.
• Place the potatoes in a single layer into an 8 x 8 baking pan sprayed with pam (or line it with foil).
• Dredge each piece in taco seasoning mix that you poured into a pie plate to coat. Place the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes.
• Cover with the salsa and then the cheese.
• BAKE 30 to 35 minute or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
• This is where I stop when I make this ahead of time and throw it in the freezer to eat later in the week. I also usually do this in 2 small dishes as there are only 2 of us!
• Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave.
• Top each serving with sour cream to serve, if desired.

MEXICAN CHICKEN- OAMC

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, cook the onion and garlic in oil until tender.
• Add in all ingredients (including spices) except for chicken. Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the cooked chicken; continue simmering another 10 minutes or until the chicken is heated through and the barley is tender.
• To freeze: cool, spoon into quart-sized freezer bags, label, and freeze flat.
• To serve: Thaw chicken mixture. Heat in a skillet until hot. Serve over corn tortilla chips or scoop into flour tortillas, fajita-style.
• Note: If you choose to use regular barley rather than quick cooking barley, you'll want to cook it ahead of time, which takes about an hour. Follow the directions on the box.
