Future dinner plans

Hopeing I can get some chicken next weekend.  one of the little roosters made his first crow.

The last thing you do.

 

After getting your husband to pull the meat off the bones, by making promises you may or may not keep, throw the bones, the skin, any left over veg and 1 to 2 T vinegar and salt.  Cook overnight or in a crock pot.  No your house won't burn down.  It is never the chicken broth, its cigarettes and Christmas lights.  So make your bone broth and stop buying those ridiculous glucosamine tablets.  

Californio Style Chicken Pie

 

Made this after reading California Mission Cookery.  

12 fried tortillas

1 1/2 c chopped cooked chicken

sliced olives

2 ortega chilies chopped

1 T fat

1 1/2 large tomatoes

2 T minced onion

1 smashed clove garlic

salt and pepper

1/2 c broth or more if this gets dry add small amt of water

Line the pan with 6 tortillas, chicken, olives, and chilies.  Boil up the rest for 5 to 10 minutes and take out tomato skins.  Blend with stick blender and pour over chicken. Cover with rest of tortillas and the following sauce:

1 /2 to 3/4 c cream cheese

1/2 cream

Blend with the stick blender and pour over pie.  Bake at 350 till hot (160 F)  20 - 30 min. Please go buy an instant read thermometer, they are $12 at the grocery and cook your food to the correct temp.
