Salsa Chicken

1 small onion, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound chicken (boneless, skinless chicken thighs or legs)

2 cups of salsa

1 pound greens (chopped spinach works well)

3 cups cooked brown rice

Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large oven safe pan saute onion and bell pepper in oil about 3 minutes. Next add chicken and brown rice on all sides. Stir in salsa and grenns, then cover pan, reduce heat, and cook about 15 to 20 minutes until chicken is well done.

Beef Stroganoff

2 pounds beef round steak

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

6 mushrooms, sliced

1 large can tomato sauce

salt and pepper to taste

1 pint low fat sour cream

Cut round steak into thin 1 inch strips. Brown onions and round steak.

Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes (you may need to add extra oil since mushrooms tend to soak up oil). Add tomato sauce, salt and pepper and stir well. Pour into a 9X13X2 inch casserole dish and cover with foil. Bake in a 300 F degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, add sour cream, and stir. Serve over rice.
