Greek Salsa Chicken

We made the best dinner last night. It's become one of our favorites. It's easy and quick. Ryan even said " You could put this on a bumper and it would taste good!" I'm sure he stole the line from Emeril, but I was still thankful for the compliment. Sorry there's not a picture. I was so hungry I just dug in, completely forgetting my camera.

Cook 4-6 chicken breasts. Top with Greek Salsa. Serve with couscous on the side. I mix my salsa in with the couscous. De.Lish!

Greek Salsa

4 oz feta cheese
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 cup pitted Kalmata olives
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Mix all ingredients. Serve.

***I've also used 1/2 can diced tomatoes, drained. I also add 1/4 cup finely diced red onion.

Jumbalaya...

As you can see from the date on the last post - It's been a long time! Summer always seems to throw me off schedule. I haven't even thought about the blog, until my sister had a question on one of the recipes she found on here. So I've decided to start up again. My goal is to try and make one to two new recipes each week. Hopefully they'll turn out and I'll share.

This week's new recipe is a combination of two recipes. Everyday Food and Cuisine at Home both had jambalaya recipes. They were both very similar, so I just combined them. I don't know that I would call it jambalaya, but it was still tasty.

Jambalaya

1 8-oz smoked sausage, sliced (we use turkey sausage)
2 TBSP olive oil
1 onion, medium dice
1 bell pepper, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
2 cloves garlic
2 14-oz can diced tomatoes
2 cup cooked rice

In a large skillet, saute sausage in olive oil. Cook about 5 minutes.

Add in onion, pepper and celery. Cook until veggies are tender, about 6-8 minutes.

Add garlic, cook 2 minutes. Add tomatoes. Scrap bottom of pan! Cook 3 minutes, until it thickens up. Stir in rice. Cook until heated. Serve.

***I added a few dashes of Tabasco sauce with the tomatoes to spice it up. I also put the Tabasco on the table for anyone who wants it spicier. We served with black beans.

***You can also add one pound raw shrimp with the garlic. Cook until shrimp is cooked through before adding tomatoes.
