The other day I bought a package containing two huge split chicken breasts. I thought they’d be good roasted in the Ninja 3-in-1. For the rub, I didn’t measure but I’d guess: 1 Tbsp garlic powder 1 Tbsp onion powder 1 Tbsp cayenne pepper 1 Tbsp black pepper 1 Tbsp Ancho chile flakes 1 Tbsp […]

This is what happens when our favorite local joint is closed on a Sunday and there’s a craving for a Mexican Pizza. So I continue to experiment with making chile verde I tried an easier way — one that didn’t require me to roast the peppers like I did last time. Today I tried using […]
