Taco Chip Chicken
4 (3 ounce) skinless chicken breasts
1 cup chopped scallions or onions
1 cup chopped red pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups stewed tomatoes
4 taco shells, coarsely crushed
20 small pimento-stuffed olives, chopped
1 1/2 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
In a 1 1/2-quart casserole, arrange chicken breasts with thicker parts toward outside of the dish. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 8 to 10 minutes, until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove chicken to plate and set aside.
In the same casserole, combine scallions (onions), pepper, celery and margarine; microwave on HIGH for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring once, until vegetables are tender. Add tomatoes; microwave on HIGH for 5 to 7 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Arrange chicken on top of tomato mixture; sprinkle evenly with coarsely crushed taco chips, cheese and olives. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes, or until cheese melts.
Serve with rice and a salad.
