Lots of Recipes:
Chicken Fiesta Salad from Ashley's blog
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
lime juice (to marinate)
chili powder
lettuce
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can black beans
Jalapeno Ranch Dressing
Directions
Marinate chicken in lime juice for as long as you can before cooking it - even 30 minutes will do wonders for the chicken! Put chicken in skillet, add chili powder to both sides of chicken for a little kick - cook until no longer pink. Drain corn and black beans and heat them thoroughly. Pile up lettuce on your plate, add corn, black beans, sliced chicken, and toss with ranch dressing.

Fondue
We love using our fondue pot to make dinner! We put chicken broth in, allow it to warm up and add spices. Then we cut up chicken, steak, potatoes, broccoli, and mushrooms. We have crackers and cheese while we're waiting for our food to cook and then use different sauces to dip the food (my fave is teriyaki).
