Chicken Enchiladas

Here's another of our all time favs that I can't believe hasn't been put on the blog yet. We always come back to this dish because it is easy to make and really good. I got this recipe from my sister-in-law Shalae.

1-2 cups cooked chicken shredded (I like to put in all 2 cups.)

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 small can green chiles diced

1/4 cup onion chopped

1 cup sour cream

10 flour tortillas

Grated Cheddar Cheese (or cheese of your choice)

Mix all ingredients except tortillas and cheese. Put small amount of mixture in flour torilla and roll. Place in greased 9x13 pan. Fill rest of tortillas, and save some of the filling to put on top of the tortillas in the pan. On top of the filling, top with cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Chicken Tetrazzini

I can't believe I haven't posted this recipe. We eat this all the time. It is one of my hubby's favs. My sister in law was just asking me for the recipe, and I realized I hadn't posted it on my blog!

8 OUNCES SPAGHETTI

8 OUNCES SLICED FRESH MUSHROOMS

4-6 SKINLESS CHICKEN BREASTS (CUT IN BITE-SIZE PIECES)

1 TABLESPOON BUTTER

1 ½ TABLESPOONS LEMON JUICE

3-4 TABLESPOONS BUTTER

6 TABLESPOONS FLOUR

½ TEASPOON PAPRIKA

1/8 TEASPOON NUTMEG

¾ TEASPOON SALT

½ TEASPOON PEPPER

1 CAN CHICKEN BROTH (14 ½ OUNCES)

1 CUP SKIM MILK

¾ CUP PARMESAN CHEESE

SPRINKLE PAPRIKA

Cook and drain spaghetti. Stir fry the mushrooms and the chicken pieces with the 1 tablespoon butter and the lemon juice until chicken is done, about 15-20 minutes. Toss with the cooked spaghetti. Set aside. Melt the 3-4 tablespoons of butter and stir in the flour and spices. Add broth and stir until the sauce thickens, then add the milk. Pour the sauce over the spaghetti. Mix. Place mixture into a 9x13-inch pan. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and paprika and back at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until browned and bubbly.

Butterscotch Apple Dip

This comes from Heidi at Tasty Sensations. I just made it for the family for an after Thanksgiving snack and was reminded at oh how delicious it is.

Butterscotch Apple Dip

8 oz butterscotch chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp cinnamon
apples

Melt above ingredients together in a double boiler and serve.

Unfried French Fries

These fries are light, tasty, and easy.

5 baking potatoes

Vegetable Oil Cooking Spray

2 large egg whites

1 tablespoon cajun spice

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice the potatoes so they look like french fries. Coat a baking sheet with vegetable spray. Combine the egg whites and cajun spice in a bowl. Add the potatoes and mix to coat. Pour the coated potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer, leaving a little space between. (I always sprinkle a little cajun spice on top after I do this. It makes them spicier. If you don't like too much spice, you might not want to add any extra.) Place the baking sheet on the bottom shelf of the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the fries are crispy, turning them every 10 minutes with a spatula so that they brown evenly. Serve immediately.

Stir Fried Sweet and Sour Pork

This is a delicious Sweet and Sour recipe. I love it!

1-2 lbs. pork

Saute the pork in about 1 tablespoon of oil. Add seasoning salt to meat. Saute until no longer pink. Set aside.

Prepare:

3 carrots sliced diagonally

1 large whole red pepper cut in chunks

1 large onion cut in chunks

1 inch ginger root diced

Stir fry vegetables until crisp tender and add meat to the vegetables.

Mix in sauce pan:

Juice of one can of pineapple chunks

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 Tablespoons cornstarch

1/4-1/3 cup of cider vinegar

2-3 Tablespoons soy sauce

A huge squeeze of ketchup out of the bottle

2-3 splashes of hot sauce

Cook until mixture thickens slightly. Put it all together: meat, vegetables, sauce, and add the pineapple chunks. Mix.

Serve over rice or cooked chinese noodles.
