Slap in the Face chicken (pollo a las gasnatas)

I grew up eating chicken almost every day. My dad was on a strict diet for having diverticulitis and so were we because of him. My mom made chicken everyday because it was good for him. So, after I moved out of my house and had to start cooking for myself I realize that one of the easiest things to make was... chicken. Working long hours and getting home starving did not give me a chance to create labored food. I created the easiest recipe in the world  (for me that is): "Slap in the face chicken" or "pollo a las gasnatas" in Spanish. In other words chicken made fast but that tasted good and could be used for almost anything.

Recipe: 

boneless chicken (any kind that you like, I prefer tenderloins bc they cook faster)

adobo (I use Goya's Adobo Total) 

1 onion (medium or large)

2-3 cloves of garlic

Pam

1. Adobo your chicken (you should always Adobo your meats or poultry). 

2. Coat your skillet with Pam and turn the heat to meadium high (5-6)

3. Cut onions and garlic.

4. Put chicken, onions and garlic in skillet. 

5. Let it cook for 10 minutes and turn it.

6. Lower heat to 2-3 or low medium

7. Let it cook for another 5-10 mins and turn the heat back up to 5 to let the chicken brown on both sides... 

Make sure the chicken is cook thoroughly ( I often cut one piece to make sure it is white inside)

Voila, it is done. I don't put garlic or onions all the time, it depends if I have the time or not to cut them, sometimes I am about to die when I get home and have to cook.

I've made the chicken into burritos, chicken for pasta (most of the time this is my choice), with white rice and red kidney beans, quesadillas, mofongo, etc. You name it, I'll put the chicken on... 

It is a quick and yummy recipe and everyone around here enjoys it... 

If you have similar quick recipes send them to me. I am always looking to update my recipes and create new ones...

See you soon,
