CHICKEN (OR TURKEY) CHEDDAR
1 cup cooked, leftover chicken or turkey, cut in chunks
1 green pepper, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 onion, sliced and quartered
1 teaspoon cayenne or to taste (or can be omitted if you prefer)
1 tablespoon oil
approx 1 cup cheddar, sliced or shredded
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
In a medium skillet, over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the pepper, celery,
and onions, cooking till the onion is just beginning to turn brown. Drain
the
oil and add the herbs, cayenne, and chicken, stirring as the chicken heats
for a couple of minutes. Add the cheddar on top of all, distributing as
evenly as possible, and put a lid on top of the skillet. Leave over heat
just
long enough to melt the cheese—this will happen fairly quickly—and then
remove and serve.
Serves 2. Goes well with home fries or french fries.
