Chicken Enchilada Casserole

4 frozen chicken boobies (2.5 pound bag)
1 can Rotel (Spicy)
1/2 cup taco sauce
1 package taco seasoning
Cracked pepper
Cumin
Garlic powder
Drizzle of EVOO
1/4 cup cream cheese
2 cans enchilada sauce
Shredded cheese (whatever cheese you have, as much as you like to use)
8 flour tortillas (the kind for burritos)

Place frozen chicken into crock pot.  Sprinkle taco seasoning and all dry seasonings (flair it out how you like it) on the chicken.  Pour in the oil, Rotel and the taco sauce.  Cook on low for 6 1/2 hours.  Shred chicken (I use that salad chopper thing from Pampered Chef).  Add cream cheese and let cook in the crock for another 1/2 hour.  Turn oven to 350F.  Pour enchilada sauce into a large bowl.  Dip two tortillas into it, coating both sides.  (If you have a smaller casserole dish, you may want to use scissors to cut your tortillas in half so you would use 1 and a half tortillas for each layer.)  Lay the tortillas into your casserole dish.  Top with a layer of chicken, then a layer of shredded cheese.  Keep going until you're out of meat, or you run out of room in your pan.  Top with a final layer of cheese.  Cover with foil.  (Spray foil with non stick cooking spray, or use that fancy ass non stick Reynolds shit they have.  Otherwise, you will lose half your cheese when removing the foil.)  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.  Remove foil, broil if you want to crisp up the cheese.  Let sit 15 minutes, serve with sour cream.  :)

Chimiquitos

This is basically a taquito with a chimichango type filling.  Regardless, it's delicious.


1 pound ground beef
1/2 can refried beans
1 package spanish rice, prepared
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1/2 cup Mexican cheese
Taco seasoning
Taco sauce
1/2 cup water
Lime juice
1/2 can Mexicorn
1 small can green chiles
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Package of 6 inch flour tortillas
1 tablespoon butter

Brown the meat, keep the grease or drain it.  Up to you.  But these are already unhealthy as fuck, so why not just go whole hog, right?
Spread the browned meat out the sides, leaving a nice little bean hole in your skillet.  Dump your beans there.  Lower the heat to around medium and let the beans warm enough so you can incorporate them into your beef.  Add your water, about a half cup of taco sauce and the taco seasoning.  Homemade or the package kind.  Don't matter to me.
At this point, go ahead and boil your water and get your Spanish rice going.  It'll take like 20 minutes. Get that little yellow package.  It gets nice and mushy and works best for this.
Once your beef mixture has come together, add in your cheese, cream cheese, green chiles and corn.  Drain them first.  Duh.
Taste test it and add more salt, pepper, garlic, onion, unicorn farts, whatever your taste buds are hollering for.  Add cilantro if you like.  I just don't like cilantro.  Tastes like soapy ass to me.
Take the heat down to low and wait for your rice to finish cooking.  Stir it if it starts to look weird. Once your rice is done, gently fold that into your meat mixture.
Heat your oven to 425°.
Put foil on your baking sheet so you don't gotta wash it afterwards.
Take each little tortilla and add like a spoonful and a half of the meat mixture to it.  Roll it into a fat little cigar.  Taquito!  Keep doing that.  And yes, you're gonna have lots of leftover meat.  It's fine. Once you have them all on the baking sheet, melt your butter and brush your chimiquitos with it.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until you see the ends getting nice and browned up.  Let cool, serve with sour cream, if you want.  Or just eat them.  b/c they are yummy as fuck.

Now, as for all that leftover meat??  Get the bigger tortillas, the ones for burritos.  Wrap them up like littler presents.  Put them in a casserole dish that you've sprayed with Pam.  Brush with melted butter, top with a light layer of taco sauce and some more cheese.  Take your oven down to 400° and bake these guys for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is all melty.

You may still have leftover meat.  It's cool.  Just save it for another day.  Enjoy!

Chicken Broccoli Ham Casserole

This is like a Chicken Cordon Bleu mishmash.  But it's fucking delicious.

3 chicken boobies
1 can cream of chicken soup
4-6 slices ham (like sandwich meat), diced into small strips
6 slices of swiss cheese (or provolone or mozzarella, any white cheese really)
1 box of Chicken Stove Top Stuffing - prepared as the box states
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon butter
Frozen broccoli (as much as you like, just shake it in there until it makes you happy)
Peppercorns
Poultry seasoning (I used Rachael Ray's blend)
2 chicken bouillion cubes
1 teaspoon minced garlic



Fill a big pot with cold water, place your three chicken boobies in there.  Put the pot over high heat, add bouillion, poultry seasoning, garlic and like a small palm full of peppercorns to the pot.  Cover and bring to a boil.  Once it starts boiling, reduce heat to like medium-ish and simmer for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.  You don't want to kill anyone with raw chicken.

While your chicken is cooking, make the stuffing.  You know, 1 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup butter, boil, add dry stuffing, cover and remove from heat.

Once the chicken is no longer lethal, chop it into bite sized pieces.  If you're like me, this will take like an hour.  Put something on tv to watch.  It will take for freaking ever.

Get a 2-3 quart casserole dish.  Butter it.  Dump the can of cream of chicken soup in it.  Add sour cream.  Season with ground pepper.  Whisk it all together.  Add chicken, ham and frozen broccoli, mix until it's all coated with the soup mix.

Top with your prepared stuffing.  Top that with your cheese of choice.  Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes.  If you want to crisp up the stuffing, remove the foil and broil for a few minutes.

Let sit for a bit so you aren't biting into molten lava, then enjoy!

White Chili

Or should I say Award Winning White Chili!  haha!  Seriously, I totally won a chili cook-off with this recipe.  I kick some chili ass, yo.  Not only did the Batgirl mask Lee and I made totally work out, but the chili was awesome.  I call this Halloween weekend a win.  :)


Ingredients:

1 - 1.5 pounds of chicken boobies.  Cut the gross excess fat off, then dice into small 1/2 inch chunks.

1 white onion diced up super small.  I used a chopper b/c I don't like big onion pieces.  But do what you like.

2 cans navy beans, drained and rinsed of the goo.  Use a fork to mush up about 1/4-1/2 of the beans.

2 cans of chopped green chilies.  (the small 4 ounce cans.  2 of those.)

1 can of chicken broth

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream

1 jalapeno, seeded and diced.


EVOO (or whatever oil you like to use)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic cloves, minced.
Garlic powder
Ground cumin
Ground oregano
Cayenne pepper
Dash of cinnamon


Directions:

In a large pot (like a stock pot, something you'd use to boil noodles in), heat over medium high heat.  Add in about 1-2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.  While that's heating up, salt and pepper your raw chicken chunks.  Once your pot is hot, dump in the chicken and the onions.  Cook until the chicken is completely cooked through.
Add in the broth, beans, green chilies, and spices.
Now, for the spices, I did about 3 teaspoons of the cumin, oregano and garlic powder.  And because I love garlic, I used an additional 2 cloves of fresh garlic that I squished through the garlic press.  BUT, use maybe a teaspoon each of the cumin, oregano and garlic powder at first, then add more if you think it needs it.  Salt and pepper it as needed.  And I just used 2 small dashes of cayenne and one healthy dash of cinnamon.  The only spice you really wanna worry about is the cinnamon.  Don't use too much, don't add more.  You just want that hint of something extra.  You don't want your chili to taste like Cinnamon Toast Crunch with beans.
Okay, so now just bring it to a boil, then let it simmer around medium low heat for half an hour.
Remove from heat, add in the sour cream and heavy whipping cream.
