Chicken Enchiladas


Hot Mama Grade: B+

Hot Mama Notes: These enchiladas were good, but not amazing. They aren't as good as some of the other enchilada recipes I use, and they were a bit more work with cutting up fresh veggies. I used a green bell pepper as Frys had no poblano. I used 3 medium tomatoes off the vine. I didn't have a ton of chicken, so I added a can of black beans. I used las palmas green enchiladabsauce. I cooked the chicken in the enchiladabsauce in the Crockpot. I used flour tortillas and used them as is, no precooking.

Crockpot Garlic Butter Chicken

From nyt

Hot Mama Grade: B

Hot Mama Notes: I used one can canelloni beans and one can black eyes peas as that is what I had. I added some cooking sherry for liquid as well as a few tablespoons of butter. I used dried shallots and parsley as I didn't have any fresh on hand. I probably used close to 4 lbs of chicken breasts. My first bite was pretty salty, I thought. Maybe that is why my youngest liked it so well! He thought it tasted like potatoes. I added quite a bit of spinach at the end along with the sour cream. I also ended cooking this dish way more than 4 hours because I was at work for a full day. So this was good not not great. Not sure I will make it again, but it was very edible. Just not spectacular.
