A Delicious Chicken Dinner

When it comes to cooking in the kitchen, I am always experimenting around with what I can make. Some of the time I use a recipe (although I rarely will follow it to the letter). Other times I just take a look at what I have in the cupboard and just simply throw something together.

Like I did last night.

I took out a package of chicken thighs, and simply seasoned them with a little bit of pepper and some Mrs. Dash original seasoning. I am on a salt restriction, so keeping the salt down as best I can is important—especially considering the other ingredients would have some unavoidable sodium content.

I got out a bowl and chopped up some onion and an orange bell pepper. Next I added a jar of mild salsa. Then I tossed in a can of diced tomatoes.

To that mixture I threw in a packet of mild taco seasoning—you know, the kind you might add to ground beef for taco night.

I stirred the ingredients together in the bowl.

Onto preparing the seasoned chicken thighs. I just added a little oil to a skillet and browned the meat on both sides. Then tossed those into a roasting pan. The oven was set to 375 degrees and allowed to preheat.

I poured the mixture from the bowl onto the chicken and tossed it into the oven and cooked this for about an hour.

The meal was served with boiled broccoli (which we usually serve with a dollop of Miracle Whip on top), and I heated up some leftover macaroni and cheese we had from another meal.

Needless to say, our chicken suppie was delicious, and yes, I did indeed say "suppie."
