Recipes from Jenn

I discovered that in addition to (or because of) being a super-smart and deadly ninja, my friend Jenn is a great cook! While hanging out with her, I saw her whip up the following dishes at ninja speed. (I know, you think that ninja speed is too fast for the human eye. I used a high speed camera designed for hummingbirds and cars traveling the speed of light.) Anyway, she kindly forwarded along the recipes for me to butcher attempt to cook on my own.  Here they are, for other would-be-ninja-cooks:

Cajun Chicken soup goes as follows:
2 tsp oil
1 green pepper
1 med onion
1 tsp cajun seasoning
14.5 oz diced tomatoes with green chiles
14.5 oz chicken broth
1 c water
15.25 oz whole kernal corn, drained
10 oz (approx) chicken breast (cooked...)
1/4 c heavy cream

1. Heat oil, pepper and onion in a pot for five mins, stir occasionally
2. Add cajun seasoning and cook for another minute
3. Add tomatoes with juice, broth and water and bring to a boil
4. Add corn, chicken and cream and boil

Furthermore...
For a 9-in apple pie:
4 to 5 medium apples of any sort
1/4 c sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt (pinch)
3/4 c brown sugar, packed
3/4 c flour
1/3 c butter, melted
pie crust

1. Chop apples
2. Mix together sugar (white), cinnamon and salt
3. Toss apples in mix and coat thoroughly
4. Move coated apples to the pie dish
5. Mix brown sugar, flour and butter until a crumble forms (forks or knives work best)
6. Cover and lightly pack down apples with crumble
7. Cook at 375 deg F for 40 mins
