Homemade Deli Meat

I adapted this recipe for deli meat which didn't specify which seasonings to use. I chose to use italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder. I also used less salt than the original recipe so I could skip the step of soaking the chicken in water after being marinated.
Ingredients:

• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 8 tsp maple syrup (you can substitute regular syrup)
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp italian seasoning

Put all the ingredients into a plastic bag and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for 48 hours. Then pound out the chicken so that you can roll it. I used white thread to keep the chicken rolled up tightly.

This is what it looked like before I baked it

I brushed the outside with olive oil, but that's optional. Bake at 250 degrees until the chicken reaches 165 degrees. These 3 breasts took about 1 hr 10 minutes.

Taco Burgers

Last week I tried something I've been meaning to try for a while. I forgot to take a picture once they were cooked, but they looked just like regular burgers. They tasted exactly like I was eating a taco.
Ingredients:

• 16 oz ground beef
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Ground black pepper
• This part is optional, but I pureed 3 oz of onion and 3 oz of green pepper, drained off the excess liquid and added it for moisture and flavor.
