Recipe - March Anniversary Social Dinner

A few people have been asking for the recipe we had at the march anniversary party. So, for those who were interested...here it is:

Cafe Rio - recipe feeds about 20?

Dressing
(the dressing needs to be doubled if you want it to feed 20 like the rest of the meal)
1 buttermilk ranch dressing packet - make as per recipe (I have a hard time finding this so I just use a regular ranch packet)
2 tomatillos (tomato like vegetable with a husk around them)
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 clove garlic
juice of 1 lime
1 jalepeno (use the seeds if you like it spicy)

Use a food processor (or blender) to blend all the ingredients well. Refrigerate

Chicken
1 small bottle Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
1 T chili powder
1 T cumin
3 cloves garlic - minced
5lbs chicken breast

cook all together in a crock pot for 4 hours, shred meat and cook 1 additional hour

Rice
3 c water
4 t chicken bouillon
4 t garlic - minced
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 can green chiles - or equivalent fresh
3/4 t salt
1 T butter
1/4 onion
3 c rice

We just threw it all into a rice cooker and it turned out well (with bismati rice)
If you don't have a rice cooker, then you would probably want to use minute rice or it will turn soggy, and then follow these instructions
Blend cilantro, green chilies, and onion together in food processor. Bring water to boil and add all ingredients (except rice). Stir until well blended. Take off heat and add minute rice. Stand for 5 minutes.

Then top with whatever you like. Tortilla chips, lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, cheese, etc
