Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas  


The nice thing about chicken enchiladas is that just about everyone likes them. Plus, you can make this chicken enchiladas recipe in advance and store it, cooked and tightly wrapped, in the fridge or freezer.

Once you learn how to make these sour cream chicken enchiladas, you can vary the ingredients to suit your taste. Try this recipe with tomato salsa or gruyere cheese for a change of pace.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 15 corn tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2-1/2 cups green tomatillo salsa from a jar (such as Trader Joe's or Frontera)

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.

  2. Heat canola oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Line a plate with paper towels.

  3. Once oil is hot, use tongs to dip each tortilla in the oil, holding for about 5 seconds, then flipping on the other side and holding for about 3 seconds to soften. Remove tortillas to paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

  4. Mix shredded chicken and sour cream together in a bowl. Set aside.

  5. Place about 1/2 cup of the salsa in the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with 3-4 tortillas, overlapping if necessary.

  6. Top with shredded chicken mixture. Top with about 1 cup of the salsa, and 1/2-cup of each cheese.

  7. Repeat layers, ending with the cheese.

  8. Cover with aluminum foil, and bake 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbly.

Baked Chicken with Fall Vegetables  

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

This easy, mouthwatering dish—chicken combined with autumn's harvest of potatoes, parsnips and carrots—has all the wonderful flavors of the season. And, because it freezes and reheats well, you can make a double batch on a Sunday and store the rest for a quick meal on a busy week night.

  • Total Time : 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Prep Time : 20 minutes
  • Cook Time : 1 hour
  • Servings : 6

ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 medium potato, scrubbed and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, divided
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped (or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried), divided
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh sage leaves, finely chopped, (or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried), divided
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium, low-fat chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 3 to 4 pounds chicken pieces on the bone, rinsed and patted dry, room temperature (for a lower-fat version, remove the skin)

directions

step 1 Place baking rack in the upper third of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
step 2 In a large bowl or 1 gallon Ziploc® Brand Storage Bag, combine the onion, potato, sweet potato, parsnips and carrots, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary and 1 1/2 teaspoons sage (if using dried herbs, use 3/4 teaspoon each rosemary and sage). Mix well and place on a foil-lined rimmed sheet pan or shallow roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables.
step 3 In a small bowl, mix together remaining 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, 1 1/2 teaspoon sage and paprika (if using dried herbs, use 3/4 teaspoon each rosemary and sage). Season chicken parts with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and brush with oil and seasoning mixture from small bowl. Place chicken in pan on top of vegetables.
step 4 Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, baste chicken and vegetables with the pan juices and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. On a meat thermometer, chicken thighs should be 165 degrees F and breasts should read 170 degrees F. Let chicken and vegetables sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

chef’s notes

To bring chicken to room temperature, rinse it, pat dry and then place on a large plate or platter for 30 minutes.

If preparing chicken with the skin on, cook it for an additional 5 minutes (at the end of step 4) under the broiler to make the skin crispy.

You can use two sweet potatoes or two white potatoes instead of one of each if you prefer.

You Can Make THAT in a Slow Cooker?  

Tuesday, March 4, 2008

Article provided by everydaycheapskate.com

If I were to name my best friend in the kitchen it would undoubtedly be my slow cooker. And I will admit to being quite handy with turning out slow cooked stew, pot roast and a variety of chicken dishes. But lasagna, enchiladas or an awesome dessert? That was my reaction, too, until I did a little research and experimenting.

The results are in and the news is all good!

Slow Cooker Lasagna

1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
3 15-ounce cans Italian-style tomato sauce
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (2 cups)
1 15-ounce container part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
15 uncooked lasagna noodles

Cook sausage and onion in a skillet over medium heat stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, basil and salt.

Mix 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese and the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses. Set remaining mozzarella cheese aside in refrigerator.

Spoon one-fourth of the sausage mixture into 6-quart slow cooker; top with five noodles, broken into pieces to fit. Spread with half of the cheese mixture and one-fourth of the sausage mixture. Top with five noodles, remaining cheese mixture and one-fourth of the sausage mixture. Top with remaining five noodles and remaining sausage mixture.

Cover and cook on Low 4 to 6 hours or until noodles are tender. Sprinkle top of lasagna with remaining one cup mozzarella cheese. Cover and let stand about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut into pieces.

Slow Cooker Enchiladas

1 19-ounce can enchilada sauce
6 boneless chicken breast halves
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 small can sliced black olives
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 4-ounce can chopped mild chilies
16 to 20 corn tortillas
16 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

Cook chicken in simmering water or in the oven until no longer pink. Cool and shred. Place soup, olives, chilies and onions in a medium bowl. Mix until incorporated. Cut tortillas in wedges. Layer slow cooker with enchilada sauce, tortillas, soup mix, chicken and cheese all the way to top, ending with cheese on top. Cover and cook on Low for 5 to 7 hours.

Servings: 8 to 10.

Slow Cooker Bananas Foster

4 bananas, peeled and sliced
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup shredded coconut

Layer sliced bananas in the bottom of a slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, rum, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over bananas. Cover and cook on Low for 2 hours. Top bananas with walnuts and coconut during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Servings: 4.

Note: All slow cookers cook a little differently, so check part way through to see that these dishes are not getting overdone. Enjoy!

Description

My childrens' grandmother, Dorothy Swain, shared this recipe with me when I was a new bride.

It's a great way to use up cooked chicken leftovers--and is still a favorite in our house.

Freeze before topping with biscuits for a hearty freezer meal.

Ingredients

  • 3 c chicken, cooked and chopped
  • 3 c chicken broth
  • 4 carrots, peeled and sliced 1-inch thick
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 celery stalks, sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 8 oz mushrooms, fresh
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 c peas, canned or frozen
  • 3 T cornstarch
  • 1⁄3 c cold water
  • 10 biscuits, uncooked (home-made or canned)

Instructions

Bring chicken broth to a boil; add carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms and garlic; simmer 10 minutes. Add cubed chicken meat and peas; simmer 5 minutes more. Mix cornstarch with cold water in measuring cup; add slowly until chicken mixture has consistency of gravy. Remove from heat; cool.

To freeze: pour into round casserole dish (2-qt capacity). Cover with aluminum foil; flash freeze, then wrap in jumbo freezer bag.

To prepare: thaw casserole before cooking. Place in 400-degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and place uncooked biscuits (either from "tube" or scratch--my family enjoys their "chicken biscuits" cut with a chicken-shaped cookie cutter) in slightly-overlapping circles on top of casserole. Return to oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes more, until mixture is bubbling and biscuits are golden brown.

Crockpot meal recipes  


Sunday, Mar 2, 2008

Some are theses are duplicates



Ok I have a bunch for you all, so here goes! And here is a link to more http://www.cookingcache.com/cat/crockpot_recipes

CHICKEN POTATO MUSHROOM SOUP

1 pound of chicken breasts with skin (remove skin if you are on a low-fat diet)
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (I use lowfat version) + 2 cans milk (I use skim)
2-3 medium diced potatoes
salt and pepper

Dump it all in and cook it all day. When dishing it up, remove skin.

Potato chowder

I love potato soup. Husband says it is my Irish coming out. Got this recipe from a friend for potato chowder. Have changed it a bit for my tastes.

One package of box scalloped potatoes – can be cheesy, or whatever you like best.
One cup of diced ham. I like a bit more.
Four cups chicken broth.
One or two stalks of diced celery.
One diced onion – whatever size you like.
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups half and half
1/3 cup flour

Mix potatoes, sauce mix, ham, broth, celery, onion, pepper in crock pot. Cover and cook on low heat 7 hours. Mix half and half with the flour, gradually stir flour mixture into chowder until blended. Cover and cook on low one more hour stirring occasionally until thick.

I think this is too thick, so use the big can of chicken broth, maybe 42 ounces – not sure on that. And instead of half and half, I use regular milk, 2 % at our house.

Love it! usually fix muffins, or garlic bread, or some kind of bread with it, whatever suits your fancy and time that day.

Sloppy Joes

3 lbs ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup prepared mustard
4 TBS vinegar
4 TBS Worcestershire sauce
3 tsp chili powder
hamburger buns

Cook ground beef, onion, and garlic, drain.

Combine ketchup, water, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and chili powder in crock pot, stir in meat.

Cover and cook on high 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours.

I get it ready the night before and refrigerate in the removable pot then just start it up in morning. I freeze half for another meal, freezes well. My kids love this, if this is in the crock pot they don't even beg to stop at McDonalds!!

Best Meatloaf You'll Ever Eat!

Take 2 pounds of hamburger (ground chuck keeps the fat down), put into a mixing bowl, and add 1/2 to 1 cup of Progresso Italian bread crumbs. Crack 2 eggs into the bowl, and sprinkle with app. 1 tsp. of oregano, 1 tsp. of thyme, and 1 tbsp. of Worcestershire sauce. If desired, add up to 1/4 cup red wine to make the mixture moist enough; otherwise, use water. Now the key ingredient: put in 1/2 pkg. of Pioneer Brown Gravy mix -- the kind that makes a 2-cup batch. If Pioneer isn't available where you live, use another brown gravy mix. Moosh it all together (the part my kids love to do), and pat it into a round, bowl shape -- basically the shape of the crockpot, less 1" on each side. Pat it firmly, so it doesn't fall apart.

Put into the crockpot. Now: take the other half of the gravy mix, put into another, small mixing bowl, and add 1 cup tap water, along with app. 1/2 tsp. of oregano & thyme each, and 1 tbsp. (plus or minus) of Worcestershire. You can add a splash if red wine to this, if so inclined. Mix it all up well, then pour over the meatloaf in the crockpot.

Cover it, set to High, cook about 4 hours (or 8 hours on low, if you're going out for the day).

Serve with rice (our choice), mashed potatoes, or whatever starch you guys love.

CROCKPOT LASAGNA

8 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 pound ground beef (or substitute w/ ground turkey)
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
28-ounce jar spaghetti sauce
1/3 cup water
4-oz. can sliced mushrooms, optional
15 oz. low-fat ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Brown ground beef in skillet. Drain. Stir in Italian seasoning.

Break noodles into thirds. Place half in bottom of greased crockpot. Spread half of ground beef mixture over noodles in crockpot.

On top of beef, layer 1/2 of sauce, 1/2 of water, 1/2 of mushrooms (opt.), 1/2 of ricotta, and 1/2 of mozzarella cheese. Repeat all layers.

Cover. Cook for 5 hours on low.

Easiest Swiss Steak (crock pot recipe)

Cut up round steak into pieces about the size of a deck of cards and place in the crock pot. Then add a couple of cans of stewed tomatoes. Put on the lid, set on high and let it cook all day. The round steak is very tender and practically falls apart on your fork. If you wish, you can add some potatoes and let them cook all day as well. Great comfort food for a cold evening.

Stay In Bed Stew

My family loves this recipe. When my girls were in college, this was the dinner they asked for when they would come home for a visit. - from the Chicago suburbs

Serves 6

2-2 1/2 lbs stew meat (I buy a boneless chuck roast & cut it myself-much cheaper)
Medium onion, chopped
5 potatoes, peeled and cut into small chunks
1 pkg of carrots, peeled and sliced
Can of tomato soup
15 oz. can of green beans with juice
Salt & pepper to taste

Place all ingredient into Dutch oven.
Bake @ 300 for 3 hours.
or @ 250 for 4 hours.

STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS

1 lb round steak cut into serving sizes
1 large onion, sliced
1 large can sliced mushrooms
4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 15 oz. jar beef gravy
1/4 cup apple juice or red wine

Brown meat lightly on each side (not necessary but I like it this way). Combine beef gravy and apple juice (or wine) in small bowl. Place onion slices, mushrooms, and potatoes in crock pot. Add meat to crock pot. Pour gravy over meat. Cook on low approximately 7 hours or on high approximately 4 hours.

My oldest daughter is not a big fan of potatoes but she went back for seconds because she said the gravy was SO good! Instead of potatoes I'm sure this would be good served over rice or noodles.

Cola Roast

I make this every other week and have my husband boil some carrots and potatoes when he gets home from work (before I do).

1 small frozen roast (1.5 -3 pound beef round tip is what I normally use)
1 packet of onion soup mix (any variety you like)
1 small jar of sliced mushrooms, undrained
1 can cola (diet or regular, name brand or generic)
salt
pepper

Place frozen roast in crockpot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix cola and onion soup mix until dissolved. Pour over roast, add mushrooms. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Be careful when you remove the roast - it is so tender it will fall apart! I mix the "juice" with a jar beef gravy and mash the boiled potatoes.

SUNDAY DINNER IN A POT

Hi Girls! I use this all the time, whether it's holiday time, pot luck time or just need to have something ready when I get home from work time! It's yummy, quick and I never get any complaints!

1 beef rump roast (size depends on how many you are feeding)
1-3 cans of Cream of Something Soup (Experiment with different flavors...Mushroom's my favorite. I use 2 cans for a 6 pound roast)
1 pkg. peeled baby carrots
2 large onions, quartered
6 peeled potatoes, halved
Any other root veggies you like

Place contents of 1 can of soup in the bottom of your crock pot. Place roast on top of soup and surround with veggies. Place contents of remaining cans of soup on top of meat and veggies. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set crock pot to low to cook all day (7-8 hours) or med/high for a shorter cooking time. The beautiful thing about this dish is it makes its own gravy!

Chicken Spaghetti

Hi FlyCrew, This is the easiest crockpot recipe ever. My family all loves it and no one can believe how easy it is.

Take 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts. Put them in your crockpot and add 1 large jar of spaghetti sauce. (Not the kind with meat in it). Let cook on slow all day till chicken is tender and pulls apart. Cook pasta and serve over. Add a salad and rolls and you have a complete meal. Unbelievably good.

Cheesy Crockpot Chicken

4-6 chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
2 cans of condensed cr of ckn soup
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1/4 tsp salt, pepper, & garlic powder each

Throw all in crockpot on Low 6-8 hours. Serve on bed of rice or noodles.

Roast Apple Chicken

Chicken: Put a whole chicken, fresh in the crockpot - put an apple or onion in the cavity. Low 8-10 hours. Done. That means you come in from work and your house smells like roast chicken. Make a veggie and rice and you're all set for dinner.

Slow Cooker Apples

Here is a simple little crock pot idea for holiday meals. I simply peel and slice some apples (our favorites are Fuji). I have one of the apple cutters that cuts out the core and cuts the rest of the apple into 6 or 8 slices, but whatever works is fine. I fill the crockpot with apples, add some water (1/2 cup is plenty) and cook on low overnight, or all day. We had a huge family gathering this weekend, and my mother-in-law is on a sugar-free diet so I made the apples especially for her. When I make them for my dad, I add some sugar and red hot cinnamon candies.

Crock Pot Candy - From Flora M's kitchen

When you've had a taste of this delectable confection you won't believe how simple it is. You'll be amazed how it always comes out & never fails.

1 - One pound jar of Planters Lightly Salted Dry Roasted Peanuts
1 - One pound jar of Planters Unsalted Dry Roasted Peanuts
1 - 12 oz. Pack Nestles Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 - 12 oz. Pack Nestles White Chocolate Chips
1 - One pound pack of Vanilla Bark (find with Chocolate Chips aisle).

Directions: Pour peanuts into large Crock-pot; add chips and chocolate bark. Cover and turn on low setting. Now, go polish your car, or read a book. Come back in an hour or so. Stir with a large spoon; coating all the peanuts. Spoon onto waxed paper - whatever size is appropriate for you and let harden.

Keep crock-pot on until all candy has been spooned out - no big rush. This is a generous recipe and you will have a gracious plenty. Keeps fresh in plastic bag or container, but don't expect it to last very long because each morsel is filled with a wonderful taste of chocolate and is chocked full of peanuts. Enjoy!
