Chicken Lo Mein

1/2 lb spaghetti 

1/4 cup Asian toasted sesame dressing

1 lb boneless chicken cut into strips

2 cloves minced garlic

1 pkg (16 oz) frozen pepper & onion strips, thawed (I just used fresh)

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon peanut butter

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

2 tablespoons chopped peanuts

1. Cook spaghetti as directed. I broke it in 1/2 so it was easier for the kids.

2. Heat dressing in large skillet. Add chicken & garlic; stir-fry until chicken no longer pink. Add peppers, onions, broth & peanut butter. Cook about 5 minutes longer until chicken is cooked through.

3. Drain spaghetti, return to pan. Add chicken mixture & soy sauce; mix well. Spoon onto serving platter; sprinkle with cilantro & peanuts.

Taco Bowls

Quantities will vary for you, but I think I made:

12 small flour tortillas

Muffin tin

Cooking spray

1 lb ground turkey

Salsa

Refried beans

Lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream, etc for topping

1. Spray muffin tin. Microwave tortillas for about 30 seconds to soften. Press into muffin cups & bake about 10 minutes on 350. 

2. Meanwhile, cook meat & drain it. Add salsa to it.

3. Heat refried beans.

4. Spoon beans into bowls, top with meat & whatever toppings you like.

The kids & I each ate 2! I think Chris ate 3 or 4, but I was surprised how much the kids liked them. Something different from regular soft or hard shells.
