  • 2 tbs Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Chicken breast, fully cooked and cut into bite-size pieces
  • 4 strips Bacon, fully cooked and chopped
  • 4 Portobello caps, halved and thinly sliced
  • To taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp Thyme (if fresh, use 1 tbs)

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, chicken, and bacon; season with thyme. Saute until mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to dish.

For the dip: Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add the beans, velveeta, and BBQ sauce, and mix well. When dip is thoroughly heated, transfer to serving dish.

Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Place a tortilla in the pan and cook about a minute, then turn over. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheddarover half the tortilla and cover the cheese with 1/4 of the cooked mushroom mix. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over and gently press down with spatula. Cook the tortilla 30 seconds to 1 minute longer on each side to lightly brown and crisp the outside and melt the cheese.

Remove to a cutting board, cutting into wedges.

Asian Syle Quick-Fix


  • 1 Chicken breast
  • 1 tbs Sesame oil
  • 1/8 cup soy sauce
  • 1/8 cup fish sauce
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp onion powder OR 1/2 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 2 tsp honey
  • Sesame Rice (see below for recipie)
  • Chow Mein Noodles, to top
  • Green onion, chopped, to top

Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces.

Coat a medium oan with the sesame oil and heat on medium; Once hot add the chicken. **If you are using real onion instead of the powder, cook in pan until yellow BEFORE adding the chicken; You may even want to add a little more sesame oil when adding the chicken to the onion if it soaks up all the oil.**

Cook chicken about half way through, then add the soy sauce, fish sauce, ground ginger, onion powder (if your using real onion, do not add), and the garlic and stir. Cook the chicken about a minute longer before stiring in the honey. Once the honey is completely stirred (and melted) in, and the chicken if fully cooked.... IT'S READY!! Serve over sesame rice and top with chow mein noodles and green onion.

To make sesame rice:

simply follow the cooking instructions on the package of Jasmine rice. Before the water boils, add a bay leaf and about 1 tbs of sesame oil to the pot.

**This dish would be great served with freshly shredded cabbage; just layer it ontop of the rice, before adding the chicken. Also, adding peanuts as a topping would be a nice touch!**
