Mexican Chicken and Vegetables in Foil Packets - Easy Preparation, Easy Cleanup

!±8± Mexican Chicken and Vegetables in Foil Packets - Easy Preparation, Easy Cleanup

Television commercials and Internet sites are pushing foil packet cooking and for good reasons. The food preparation is fast and there is little clean up. Non-stick aluminum foil makes this kind of cooking even easier. But you have to use the foil correctly. As the package notes, the-non stick side of the foil is the dull side. Use the other side and you could have a sticky mess.

According to the Reynolds Kitchen Web site. foil packet cooking has many advantages, and they are cited in the article, "Foil Packet Cooking Tips." For one thing, foil packets are perfect for low-fat cooking. You can add extra flavor to packets and that flavor won't be lost in the bottom of a pan or grill. Foil packets are also a way to customize meals. If a guest doesn't like an ingredient or is allergic to it, just leave that ingredient out of his or her packet.

Betsy Kline, "Post-Gazette" Staff writer, touts the advantages of foil packet cooking in her article, "Foil Packet Neatly Cooks Complete Dinner." As Kiine explains, "A meal in a foil envelope is hard to beat for convenience and ease of cleanup." Foil packet cooking is also perfect for solo dinners. Whether you're fixing packets for one or a crowd, consider the meat size. How much is a serving? How long will it take for a serving to cook?

Once you have fixed your first foil packet meal you will be sold on this type of cooking. Adults, kids and guests will love this recipe fo Mexican Chicken and Vegetables in Foil. This recipe calls for chicken thighs, which are more flavorful than breasts. You can use chicken breasts in this recipe, but my family prefers thighs.

Ingredients

2 medium potatoes

1 green pepper, chopped

4 large chicken thighs (or two small per serving)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup medium salsa

4 slices low fat Monterey Jack cheese

Method

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Tear off four large squares of release foil. Coat the center of each square with cooking spray.

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Place a layer of potatoes in the center of each foil square. Sprinkle chopped green peppers over potatoes. Place a chicken thigh on top of the vegetables. Season thighs with chili powder, cumin, salt an pepper. (You may omit the salt if you wish.) Top each thigh with 1/4 cup of salsa and a slice of Monterey Jack cheese.

Bring up the sides of the foil and fold once, leaving a small space for steam, and fold again. Crimp the opposite edges of the packet tightly. Set foil packets on a jelly roll pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. The food inside the packet will be very hot, so cut a hole in each packet to let the steam escape before opening. Makes 4 fragrant and delicious servings.

Outdoor Fireplace Grills - Which Outdoor Fireplace Grill Should You Buy?

!±8± Outdoor Fireplace Grills - Which Outdoor Fireplace Grill Should You Buy?

Nothing adds style to the outdoor party; whether by the poolside, patio, or backyard, like the outdoor fireplace grill. A wide variety of outdoor grills to suit different functionalities are now available to suit every taste and every budget. There are brick hearths, metal fire pits, and even clay or stone fireplaces for you to choose from. From fireplace grills that cook directly over the flame to others that use indirect heat through an oven, there is a fireplace grill that is just right for you.

The construction material for the outdoor fireplace grills may vary from stone, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, copper, granite, marble, or even mosaic tiles.

Outdoor fireplace grills use all manner of fuel: wood, charcoal, gas, and even artificial logs. Charcoal grills fill the grate with charcoal along the entire length. The fireplace comes with an adjustable grill that can be moved up or down and can even be removed for cleaning. To increase or decrease the flame, you will need to adjust the amount of coal in the grill. While charcoal grill are far more expensive than gas grills, they remain popular because for a lot of people, meats cooked on charcoal just taste much better than those cooked on gas.

A significant thing to consider when choosing an outdoor grill is what level of maintenance you are willing to put into the fireplace. With outdoor gas grills, you will be able to clear up in no time at all. If you do not mind cleaning up the ashes, and have all the tools at hand, you might consider the wood-burning grill.

Nothing can substitute the warmth of the leaping flames, the aroma, or the soft ambience of a wood burning fireplace. A wood-fueled fireplace, does, however, require more tending than a gas-fed one. Among the variety of wood burning outdoor fireplaces available in the market, the most popular ones include the heat-circulating, or the see-through ones. The latter have large glass viewing areas and for effect. The fireplace interiors use durable, fire-resistant material, while some have black fire screens to protect against sparks.

Gas grills are possibly the easiest to use. Also, they omit the need to stock up on logs and deal with storage issues. The gas fireplace also burns easily and provides an immediate fire. Importantly, the chances of household fires are considerably reduced with gas grills.

Gas grills may be built around a simple design or more sophisticated ones, and may be free-standing or may come with a range of built-in components. In addition, an outdoor gas fireplace provides warmth and attraction to a cookout. A gas fireplace allows people to enjoy the fire for a longer period of time. While there are both direct-vent and vent-free. When buying a gas fireplace, pick a fireplace that emits the minimum amount of smoke and discharge.

Regardless of what kind of fireplace you choose, fireplace screens are a must to keep sparks away from the people sitting close at hand. Time to enjoy the outdoors!
