White Chicken Green Chili Enchiladas (YUM!)

I have a "White Chicken Salsa Enchilada" recipe posted too and it's a toss up between the two. They're both very good.





Ingredients:
~ 2 c. cooked & cubed chicken
~ 2 cans cream o' chicken
~ 1 can green chilies
~ 1 c. sour cream
~ 2 c. Mexican shredded cheese (or cheddar)
~ garlic, salt & pepper
~ 1 dozen white corn tortillas

Directions:
Mix all ingredients. Spray 13x9 with cooking spray and cover with small amount of sauce so tortillas won't stick. Warm tortillas in microwave until pliable. Fill, roll and place in baking dish. Add a little milk to remaining filling and spread on top of filled tortillas. Top with additional cheese. Bake at 350 degrees, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Option #2: I didn't have chicken one night and added about a cup of salsa instead. It turned out FANTASTIC and you couldn't even tell!!

Heaven in a "bowl" appetizers/dip

These are SO good! You can use the filling by itself as a dip with crackers and it's amazing too!


Ingredients:
~ 1/2 lb sausage, cooked
~ 2 green onions
~ 1/2 each red & green peppers
~ 1 c. cheddar cheese
~ 1/4 c. ranch dressing
~ won ton wrappers (round if you can find them) YOU CAN MAKE AS A DIP W/OUT WON TONS

Directions:
~ Press won ton wrappers down muffin tins and bake for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. Mix all other ingredients together, fill baked wrappers and bake 5-7 min. more. Serve immediately. (If you can't find round won ton wrappers, fold in wrappers in half by opposite points, making a triangle, and round off the pointed ends.) IF MAKING DIP, MIX ALL INGREDIENTS & WARM IN MICROWAVE. Serve warm with chips, crackers or bread pieces.

Easy Chicken Roll-ups (yummy! Guys love 'em!!)

I had these first when my mother-in-law made them for her fam. Her kids have all started making the recipe regularly, with minor variations. While they're not exactly diet friendly, they're very good! Here's the recipe as we like it. (The simple gravy is a MUST, but the pic. just shows the chicken roll-ups before serving w/ gravy). All the men in my life :) love 'em!! Definitely a guy pleaser!



Ingredients:
~1 8 oz cream cheese
~2 cups cooked and shredded/cubed chicken or turkey
~3 Tbsp butter, softened
~green or regular onions, diced (optional)
salt & pepper to taste
~2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls
~1 recipe quick chicken gravy (see recipe under label "sauces & gravies")

Directions:
Combine all ingredients except crescent rolls. Open and separate crescent rolls. Put about a tablespoon or a little more filling onto rolls and roll up, tucking and pinching all edges so filling doesn't ooze out while cooking. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Ladle hot chicken gravy over the top. I HIGHLY recommend using my quick chicken gravy recipe!!!! 2 ingredients and about 30 seconds to make. VERY GOOD!
