Tostadas Salsa Verde (Rougde) pg 211 & Poached Chicken Breasts and Chicken Broth pg. 350


5 Toasts


Never mind that we couldn't find salsa verde, and that our pepperjack cheese was sans pepper but plus monteray (whoever that is), this recipe is the best yet from the kitchens of Martha Stewart Living.


For pepperjack cheese, just add pepper to Monteray cheese! Instead of salsa verde, just use really fresh red salsa! The shells were crispy, the chicken was sumptious, and I'm hungry just thinking about it...that last is a figure of speech. I just ate it, so I'm not hungry.


The only thing that I don't like about this recipe is that it took 15 minutes to poach the chicken when the book says the whole thing takes 20 minutes.


This leads me to recipe number two, Poached Chicken. It's a great way to make chicken broth in a small batch and save time for the nexyt recipe. Too bad I didn't save the broth, as after this Spatula starts his week, and I don't know what he's going to choose.


Bone apps!

  1. I have to agree this is totally awesome! I cheated and didn't use poached chicken, but instead cut up chicken breasts into strips and fried them in olive oil in a heavy frying pan, so they got that 'charred' look to them- still nice and quick. Oh and got a great salsa verde called 'Mrs Renfro's' jalepeno hot green salsa- from the anonymous spice fans!
