1 pound of frozen chicken tenderloins or 3-4 frozen chicken breast, skinless and boneless
1 package of dry taco seasoning mix
1 can of rotel tomatoes
1 stick of butter
4-6 large baking potatoes
3/4 of a block of Velveeta Cheese (from a 16 oz block)
4 chopped green onions
2-3 tbsp milk
Prepare chicken first. In a large crock pot, place the frozen chicken breast in the bottom of the pot. Yes, frozen, it works best this way. Pour the can of rotel tomatoes over the chicken and then sprinkle on the package of taco seasoning. Place the stick of butter on top and cover. Set crock pot on high and cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. When chicken is done it should be fork tender. You simply shred the chicken and mix all ingredients together to finish this part of the dish.
About an hour and a half before the chicken is done, place the baking potatoes in a 400 degree oven and bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours until done.
Once the chicken and potatoes are done, on the stove in a sauce pan, melt together the Velveeta cheese, 2 -3 tablespoons of milk and the chopped green onions until smooth.
To assemble the potato, split the potato open and add butter, salt and pepper to taste. Ladle a serving of the chicken mixture into the potato and top with cheese sauce.
I got the recipe for this chicken off of a news program during a cooking segment. They called it Baseball Chicken because the lady preparing it said she would put this chicken in the crock pot before they left for baseball games and then when they returned home it was ready. I just call it Spicy Chicken now, my baseball player is away at college and instead of playing baseball he is now a Rock Hound (geologist). I guess I could call it Rock Chicken. :) Actually, my oldest son is crazy about this dish so I should call it Aggie Chicken! Anyway, on the news program this lady said you could top a baked potato with it or put the meat mixture between flour tortillas and make soft taco with it which I have not tried but sounds good too. When I saw this recipe I got to thinking that it would be good with the cheese sauce we make for our potatoes. This recipe came from my Daddy. Any time we had baked potatoes growing up he wanted this cheese sauce to go on top. It is so simple and really makes the potatoes extra yummy. I put the two together the first time I made this and it was an instant hit at my house. It makes a complete meal, all you need is maybe some salad and bread. This would also be a great dish if you needed to fix for a crowd. You could pop all the potatoes you need in the oven ahead of time, double the batch of spicy chicken if needed as well as the cheese sauce and you won't have to slave over a hot stove all day to feed a large group. I hope you will try this one because it is Mmmmm good!
In a large bowl combine strawberries, peach pie filling and sliced peaches. Slice bananas and fold into the strawberry/peach mixture. Serve as is, chill or spoon over angel food cake or ice cream.
