I did a post the other day of chicken, pork, beef, and fish recipes just to see which one would end up on top and the winner, but not by much, was chicken. Â Pork and beef were separated by a single "view" and fish was last, but not by a ton. Â So, I guess the verdict is that you all like all kinds of meat recipes but you tilt towards chicken, so in celebration of that finding, here are some chicken recipes from my archives. Â The first one I kind of laugh at, the King Ranch in far south Texas is legendary and has operated for over a century by the same family. Â The ranch cooking has become legendary, but how did the recipe end up as an Amish favorite? Â This recipe for "King Ranch Chicken" comes from Lila Yoder in Montezuma, Georgia.
- 4 cups cooked chicken
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 12 soft corn tortillas
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, diced
