Delicious Taco Dish

One day I came upon this recipe by Lana and Dave  and after drooling over it, I tried it. It was simply fabulous and got rave reviews from my family plus a few fortunate guests who had leftovers for lunch the next day. However, me being me, I had to play with it a bit. And I wanted to try to make it a bit healthier. After tinkering a bit and experimenting with my family here is my new version:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

taco spice (your own mix or one of the low sodium packages)

1 cup fat free sour cream

2/3 cup light mayonnaise or light miracle whip (we prefer the zippy taste from the miracle whip for this recipe)

1 cup light shredded cheddar cheese

diced onion

frozen or fresh corn

diced tomatoes

diced avacado

chili powder

salsa – 1 cup

Biscuit dough (either make up some Bisquick using skim milk or water, or make your own dough, receipe below)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan.

In large frying pan, cook the chicken in water with taco spice. When chicken is done, cut into smaller pieces and add 1 cup of corn and ½ cup diced onion. Continue to cook on medium heat until corn and onion are tender.

Make up Biscuit dough and press into pan evenly, with a ½ inch rim around the bottom edges. Spread salsa on top. Add chicken/corn/onion mixture on top of salsa (spread evenly).

Mix up sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheese and chili powder (to taste) and spread on top of chicken mixture. Don't worry if it kinda of ends up mixing with the chicken, it will cook up just fine. Do your best for even coverage.

Pop in the preheated oven (uncovered) for 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Top with diced tomatoes and diced avacados.

Cut into squares and serve with side salad.

Enjoy!

(and I hope Lana and Dave over at Beautiful Canvas don't mind that I took their recipe and tinkered with it!   They have a beautiful family and one of their sweet children has Tay Sachs and their blog tells of the ups and downs of her battle for life and how it's changed them as a family)

Quick biscuit dough: Mix 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp baking soda and buttermilk or skim milk to make a soft dough. Or use 2 cups of Bisquik and add water or milk until soft dough forms.
