The idea behind "dump" chicken is that it has few ingredients that you can just "dump" into a skillet or slow cooker or baking pan or freezer bag - so easy. I've had this recipe on my new recipe list for a long time, but never tried it until now. It was surprisingly tasty. We ate it rice bowl style (over rice with toppings like black beans, corn, cheese, green onions, tomatoes, etc.), but it would make delicious tacos or burritos, too.

Taco Seasoning Mix (Karla's)
I found this taco seasoning mix on a Yahoo group for allergen-free recipes that I'm new to. Couldn't find the recipe in their recipe database (http://recipecircus.com/recipes/Writermom77/) to post the link, so I will include it here.
I've found it's nice to have a few taco seasoning recipes, otherwise every recipe that calls for a taco seasoning mix tastes the same. This recipe makes enough seasoning for 4 packets. I didn't make any *changes* to Karla's recipe - it's really good as is. However, I do always add bouillon granules or Better than Bouillon (about 1 tsp) to whatever I'm making in the flavor of meat that I'm making (for chicken add chicken bouillon, etc). It just adds another layer of flavor that I love. Anyway, here's the recipe!
Taco Seasoning Mix (Karla's)
6 tsp chili powder
5 tsp paprika (smoked paprika is yummy)
4 1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 1/2 tsp onion powder
2 1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp dried oregano
3 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and cornstarch. Close lid securely, and shake well to mix contents.
7 teaspoons equals 1 package of taco seasoning. Makes about 28 tsp.

Yield: 4 packets
KARLA'S NOTES: Here is the recipe I use. If I want to scale back the heat, I reduce the cayenne pepper to 1/8 tsp and increase the chili powder by 1/4 tsp.
JEN'S NOTES: I don't think I put any cayenne pepper in, maybe just a dash, and the heat was just right.
