I used to beg my mom for these; now I make them for my son. Serve with beans, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, and cheese.

- 1 whole chicken
- 1 can diced tomatoes with habanero peppers , 10 ounce
- 1 green bell pepper , diced
- 1 large onion , diced
- 3 jalapenos chile peppers , seeded and diced
- 2 packetss taco seasoning mix , 1 ounce
- 2 tablespoons canola oil , or as needed

Instructions

Place chicken, tomatoes with habanero peppers, green bell pepper, onion, jalapeno chile peppers, and 1 packet taco seasoning in a large pot; pour in enough water to just cover chicken.

2
Bring chicken and vegetables to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Remove chicken from the pot and let cool. Pull chicken meat off the bones and cut into bite-sized pieces; discard carcass. Pour off about half the liquid from the pot, making sure all the vegetables stay. Return chicken meat to pot; add the remaining 1 packet taco seasoning. Simmer until flavors have blended, about 10 minutes.

Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat; fry tortillas, working in batches, in the hot oil until desired crispness is reached, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Spoon chicken mixture into each tortilla to serve.

Bacon Breakfast Casserole (Gluten Free)
This gluten-free breakfast casserole is a simple recipe that's easy to make. Really nice when you have company over in the morning. Get it ready, pop it in the oven and you have time to socialize while it's cooking! I cut this recipe in half, place it on a pie plate, and bake uncovered for 45 minutes for breakfast for a smaller family; it tastes very much like a crustless quiche and my husband loves it! That is how it is shown in the picture.
Chicken Bog
Chicken bog is a cross between a casserole and a stew. It's chock-full of chicken, sausage, rice, and onions, and it's great comfort food when it's cold outside. When you're feeling "bogged" down, make some chicken bog to cheer yourself up! This recipe is what's called "Lowcountry cooking," a term used in the coastal regions of South Carolina, where chicken bog is often served in restaurants.
