CHILI CON QUESO WITH CHICKEN (SIMILAR TO CARLOS O'KELLY'S)
I fell in love with Carlos O'Kelly's chili con queso with chicken, and experimented until I came up with something I think is a great imitation. It's often a requested appetizer dip at family functions. Serve hot with tortilla chips.

KELLY'S ASIAN CHICKEN
From my new "Garlic Lovers' Greatest Hits--20 Years of Prize-winning Recipes from the Gilroy Garlic Festival" book. According to the book, this chicken dish was unanimously selected as the First Place Winner in the first Great Garlic Recipe Contest and Cook-off. DH and I made this for dinner a few nights ago and thought it was really good. However, we would have liked more sauce. We are not sure if it reduced too quickly and we need to be more careful for next time or if we should double the sauce recipe. We used chicken breasts instead of a frying chicken and served over Udon noodles. I should mention that I always use reduced sodium soy sauce (I prefer San-J Tamari).

Steps:
- Heat oil in large, heavy skillet and brown chicken well on all sides, adding garlic and peppers toward the end.
- Add remaining ingredients and cook over medium-high heat until chicken is done and sauce has been reduced somewhat. This will not take long, less than 10 minutes.
- If you are cooking both white and dark meat, remove white meat first, so it does not dry out.
- Watch very carefully so the sauce does not burn or boil away. There should be a quantity of sauce left to serve with the chicken, and the chicken should appear slightly glazed.
- Serve with Chinese noodles, pasta, or rice.

Steps:
- Rinse chicken with cold water inside and out, and be sure to remove any "innards". (I discard the innards, but if you like them, save them for another use.).
- Place whole chicken in large pot. Add water to cover the bird plus an inch.
- Add bay leaves.
- Bring to a boil, skim off the "foamy stuff" with a large spoon, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about an hour and 30 minutes.
- You may need to CAREFULLY turn your chicken over halfway through if it wants to stick up a bit.
- CAREFULLY remove chicken from pot onto a platter, cover loosely with foil til cool enough to handle. *Remember there will be very hot water inside the cavity of the chicken. So please do this carefully, dumping that out into the pot as you remove it, so you don't burn yourself! *Also give the pot a stir. The chicken will be VERY tender when done, and a wing or leg may fall to the bottom. Be sure to get that!
- Remove 5 cups stock from pot into heat-proof pitcher or pan. Save rest of chicken stock for another use.
- Pour the 5 cups stock back into the pot.
- While chicken is cooling, add rest of ingredients EXCEPT noodles.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce to a nice simmer and cook veggies about 4-5 minutes.
- Now add the noodles. Stir.
- Return to a boil to get it going again, then reduce to a nice simmer and continue to simmer til noodles are just about tender. About another 4-5 minutes.
- While veggies and noodles are simmering away, remove meat from chicken and add as you go. (Don't add the skin or fat, of course, just the meat.).
- Now just continue to simmer, another 2-3 minutes til noodles are tender. Take one out and try it is the only way to know! :).
- *Also, don't stir this very much! You'll just break up the noodles.
- *If using 4 chicken breasts instead, bring chicken breasts to a boil in pot, reduce to simmer, and simmer only 20 minutes.
- Serve with saltine crackers if desired.
- Makes about 3-4 quarts. But don't worry. Sounds like a lot, but the 2 of us go through this easily within only 3 days!
- *Note: I use "Superior Touch Better Than Boullion Chicken Base". And it is really good!But any good quality chicken base will work well. *It comes in a jar next to the boullion. ;).
- And one last thing (I promise!), if you need to add more of the broth that you stewed the chicken in, (if your chicken is large, or you added too many noodles, etc.) just nuke 1-2 cups broth with 1-2 teaspoons of the boullion/chicken base til dissolved, then add to pot. Simmer just a few minutes longer. HTH! :D.

- 6. Serve with saltines or oyster crackers if desired.
- 7. Makes about 3-4 quarts. But don't worry. Sounds like a lot, but the 2 of us go through this easily within only 3 days!

Simmer just a few minutes longer. (*If you use the plain stock, it will make it a bit bland.) HTH! :D
