Cajun Smothered Potatoes

potatoes (Yukon Gold or yellow)--I am sure you could use other types of potatoes
Cajun spice
salt
pepper
green onions
butter
chicken
cheddar cheese
bacon bits

Precook 6 potatoes in microwave until slightly tender.

When cooked, cut into wedges or smash into the bottom of a pan. Sprinkle Cajun spice, salt and pepper, to taste on top of potatoes.

Melt (approximately 1/2 cup) of butter in microwave and drizzle on top of potatoes.

Cook at 375°F for 30 minutes or until they start to brown. Take out of the oven and place precooked chicken on the potatoes and smother with grated Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with bacon bits. Return to oven for 10 minutes or until meat is hot and Cheddar is melted. Top with green onions!

VOILA!! A dinner that is quick, easy and cheap.

Got this out of a 30 minute section in one of our cookbooks.Super easy, good, and fast meal. Jacob and I really liked this meal and can't wait to cook it again. If your sauce is a bit flour tasting, add a little more lemon to it.

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp curry
1/8 tsp each ground tumeric, ginger & cinnamon
1/8 tsp paprika
1/2 lbs chicken tender

In small bowl, combine water and seasoning. Cover both sides of chicken with mixture. Put in large bag & refridgerate for 15 minutes.
Place chicken on a greased broiler pan. Broil 3-4 minutes per size or until cooked all the way.

Super easy meal. This has an Indian taste to it. You can't taste the spice of the food but it lingered a bit in our mouths. I really loved it. Be careful though...tumeric leaves your fingers yellow for days.
