About Me

I decided to create a blog so that I could share recipes with my family and friends :) I am very family orientated and love to spend time with them any chance I get and most of my close friends, I consider to be like family. This blog will be kept short, simple and fun. I love to cook in the kitchen and try new recipes so if you have any new ones you would like me to try....just email me or comment :)

Chicken Enchilada Pasta

This one is really simple, but Kyle and I are unsure about the sauce. It was missing something when we first tasted it before I served it. I ended up adding some more ingredients for a little bit of flavor. 

The whole dish still cost me under $7 to make it. You can't beat that, plus with just the 2 of us, I have leftover for lunch the next day and still some.


Before I added the cheese and green onions

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. chicken breast, uncooked
1 cup enchilada sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
12 oz. uncooked pasta
1 cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese
2-3 whole green onions

*I added:
crushed red pepper flakes
salt
Tony's creole 

What To Do:
  • Dice the onion and mince the garlic
  • In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil and then add the onion and garlic
  • Cook until soft and transparent
  • Meanwhile, slice the chicken into thin strips
  • Add chicken to skillet and cook until no longer pink
  • *When chicken is almost done, add the crushed red pepper flakes, salt and creole
  • While chicken is cooking, warm up the enchilada sauce and then whisk in the sour cream
  • Set aside and then slice the green onions
  • Cook pasta and then drain
  • Combine the pasta, sauce, and chicken mixture 
  • Sprinkle with shredded cheese and sliced green onions
