I'm Tired and My Fridge is Empty

Unfortunately, we recently had to move. Actually, it wasn't such a bad thing. We moved from the Western side of Pennsylvania -- home to in-bred morons (it's too close to West Virginia for comfort) and the single most obese populus of any Top 20 city.

Our new home is just outside Philadelphia, so we get to experience all the hostile folks who're too tired to frighten people up in NYC! Frankly, that's a welcome change as far as I'm concerned.

Moving brings out some pretty innovative culinary attempts, and the following is no exception. I love pork and beans, or "hot dog casserole" (slice dogs and fry them with some onions, add some beans, mustard, ketchup, and brown sugar, and bake). Because of what was in the fridge and how tired we were, the following Hobo Chicken recipe evolved.

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1 can baked beans
1/2 tomato
6 slices bread
1/2 stick margarine

Cube chicken and sprinkle with salt and chili pepper. Heat pan and add oil. Add spiced chicken to hot pan. Brown chicken and drain excess fat. Add can of beans and quartered tomato. Simmer uncovered for 2 minutes. Cover and simmer for 3 minutes.

Remove pan from heat. Butter bread and serve Hobo Chicken in bowls with buttered bread on the side. Makes 6 servings.
