Dinner with good company

For about a month or so my sisters and I have been setting aside one night a week to get together and have dinner. We take turns at each others houses. A couple weeks ago we had it at my house and I made Cheese and Chicken Enchiladas. We were on a Mexican "kick" for a couple of weeks...Tacos at Raine's one week and Enchiladas at my place the next. Who doesn't love Mexican food though, right? Okay, I'm sure there are a few strange people out there that don't like it, but I think Mexican food is DELICIOUS! It's even better when you can enjoy it with good company! :) Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of my sisters and I...just the food. Tonight we had dinner at Quinn's. She made BBQ chicken, pasta salad, and rice. It was yummy. Still no pictures of us girls though. I'll have to remember next time!

Anyway, I found the recipe on my favorite cooking/baking site, Recipe Zaar. This is where I find many of my recipes. You can pretty much find any recipe on this site. I love it! The good thing about the Cheese and Chicken Enchilada recipe is that it can be made as a OAMC (once a month cooking) recipe! I ended up freezing half.

Cheese and Chicken Enchiladas

1 1/2 cups shredded chicken breasts
1 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup picante sauce
3 ounces neufchatel cheese (1/3 fat free cream cheese)
1 tsp cumin
1 1/2 cups bottled green taco sauce
flour tortillas

I put 4-5 frozen chicken breasts in a crock pot. I then covered the chicken in picante sauce and cooked on high for 4 hours. I then used two forks to shred the chicken. Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over low heat. Mix the chicken, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, picante sauce, and cream cheese. Add to the skillet and cook until cheese begins to melt. Spoon about 1/3 cup filling on each tortilla and roll up. Place enchiladas (seam side down) in a 9x13 baking dish. Drizzle with taco sauce and remaining cheese. (At this point you can freeze some if you want. Just put them in the freezer until hard and then bag them. To cook, just thaw in the fridge and bake.) Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
