Yum, with a capital "YUM"!

Tonight's dinner was Ground Chicken Burritos , or something similar to that. I don't remember the exact name, or the entire recipe, but tomorrow morning, I'll snag it and jot it down for consumption (pun intended). Essentially, you take a pound or two of ground chicken, a cup of mashed tortilla chips and a cup of salsa and mix it together in a large bowl. Then you mold them into an "oval" shape, or in my case, lumps trying to resemble said oval, and either place on the grill or you can broil them.

Side Cooking Story. Tonight was my first night ever using the broiler pan, so I really had only a smidgen of an idea on how to use it. I knew that the bottom half needed some water and that you put it really close to the top of the oven, but my knowledge pretty much stopped there. So I cooked those fabulous Chicken Patties, and instead of leaving the door open, like you're supposed to. I closed it. I checked them every few minutes and wondered why they seemed to take so long to cook, when my dad had said that it would heat up really quickly. Finally, I judged them to be safe enough to eat, hopefully without getting Salmonella. I was hoping the slight pink color was from the salsa. Hah!

So. Feed little brother, one slightly undercooked chicken burrito. Have Father examine the chicken patties. Have Father explain how exactly to use the broiler pan. Re-cook said patties. Enjoy (:

And alas, no pictures, because. I can't think that far in advance yet. Maybe I'll snap a shot of the leftovers.

Luff luff,
