Hummus Chicken with Mexican Fried Rice (Gluten Free)

The last time I went grocery shopping they were giving samples of some organic hummus and, of course, I had to try some. While I was trying it she was giving me the whole bit about all the things I could do with it(Superbowl snacks, ha! Yeah right, like I watch football) and she mentioned coating chicken in hummus and then baking it to make a crunchy texture on it. I had never even thought of doing this before, so I decided I had to!
I got a spicy green chile version of the hummus and have been trying to come up with something fun to go along with it. It magically came to me when I got home today, Mexican Fried Rice. Yum.

Hummus Chicken

2 chicken breasts
Hummus(any variety, I used green chile)
1/4 cup finely chopped onions

Coat chicken liberally with hummus, and top with chopped onions. Bake in oven at 350. Flip after about 30 mins. After about another 15 minutes(make sure it's cooked through!), flip again and turn on broil to crisp, about 5-10 minutes.

Mexican Fried Rice

2 cups jasmine rice
4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup onions, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 jalepeno
2 cloves garlic
Cilantro

Cook rice with the chicken broth. In a separate pan, saute onions in butter. When they start to turn golden, add the rest of the vegetables(minus the cilantro) and saute for a few minutes. When the rice is cooked through, about 20 minutes, add it to the pan with the vegis. Add a few more tablespoons of butter and fry in the pan for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Mexican Breakfast Quiche (Gluten Free)

It's been a long time since I have posted a recipe! I keep thinking I need to post recipes, and then I forget to take pictures because I eat my food too fast;) But this weekend I have been having my children help me cook, and I never forget to take pictures of them. So while I do not have a picture of the finished product, I sure do have pictures of my son helping me!
My son is going through a picky eating phase and is constantly telling me my food is disgusting, even though everyone else in the house enjoys it and it is food he has liked in the past. So I decided I would have him help me make breakfast this morning. When you help cook and see the whole process, you have an ownership of your food and know what's in it, and what child is going to say that their creation is disgusting? I'm almost positive he would have "hated" this food had he not helped me make it.
This is actually a recipe that came soley out of my head. I made a cornbread/quiche like creation a couple months ago and was thinking about it in bed before waking up, and thought I would attempt something similar since our last grocery trip had brought back cilantro and jalepenos. The result was delicious:)

Mexican Breakfast Quiche

2 cups Masa flour
3 cups water (about)
1 jalepeno, chopped
1 tomato, chopped with juices squeezed out
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
3 strips bacon, chopped
Cilantro
Handful of Spinach
8 eggs

Grease the bottom of a square baking dish. Mix Masa with enough water to make into a thick paste and spread on the bottom of the pan.

Cook bacon in a pan for a few minutes, add onion and continue cooking until onion starts to cook through. Add jalepeno, bell pepper, tomato and garlic and continue cooking. Season with salt, red pepper flakes, and cumin.

Beat the eggs and add cilantro ripped into pieces. Pour half of the mixture over the Masa. Add cooked vegetable mixture and then top with spincach and then cover with rest of the eggs.

Cook in oven at 350 for about 45 minutes.
