Easy Chicken Enchiladas


Easy Chicken Enchiladas
from the taste of home cooking school magazine



1 small onion, chopped
2 teaspoons oil
3 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, drained
1 tub (10 ounces) Philadelphia Santa Fe Style Blend Cooking Creme, divided
1/2 cup Mexican-style finely shredded four cheese
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook and stir onions in hot oil in large skillet on medium heat 4-5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in chicken, tomatoes, 3/4 cup cooking creme and shredded cheese.
  2. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up. Place, seam-side down, in 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; top with remaining cooking creme. Cover. Bake 15-20 minutes or until heated through. 
Makes 4 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes

Note from Cassie: We thought this would have also been good by spooning some salsa over the top of the tortillas during the last 5 minutes of cooking. We also, removed the cover for the last 5 minutes of cooking to help the cheeses melt.

Greek-Style Chicken

Greek-Style Chicken


from the Favorite Brand Name: One-Dish Recipes and Secrects of Slow Cooking

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 lemon thinly sliced
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 cloves garlic, minced
Hot cooked orzo or rice

  1. Remove visable fat from chicken; sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on all sides. Place chicken in slow cooker.
  2. Add broth, olives, lemons, oregano and garlic to slow cooker. Cover, cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or until chicken is tender.
  3. Serve with orzo.
Makes 4-6 servings
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 5-6 hours on LOW

Note from Cassie: I made this dish with boneless skinless chicken breasts - made the recipe as is...however the chicken dried up so I would recommend increasing the chicken broth to 1 cup and to add a bit more flavor keep the juices with the olives. We thought that the dish would be really good if you added feta to the dish once it's plated.
