Chicken Enchilada Conundrum

So yesterday was the first time I made chicken enchiladas by myself. What an experience that was. First of all, I love eating chicken, hate cooking it. Its slimy and gross to touch, then takes crazy amount of time to cook. bleh. Secondly, I recommend anybody cooking to use an apron when frying chicken cause unfortunately I did not and may have ruin a perfectly brand new shirt on its first day of use. Yes I am talented I know.

After cooking the nasty feeling chicken, I had to make sauce for the enchiladas. In the process of making sauce, somebody called me and I got slightly distracted. The sauce bubbled over the edge of the pan and a good half of the pan ended up in the burner on the stove and down the front side of the oven. Nice.

However, after all that catastrophe I still managed to make enough enchiladas for me and my roommates. As you can probably tell I am not a master chef by any means, but my roommates said the enchiladas were pretty tasty. Whether they were lying to me or not is another matter. lol...

For anybody who is interested this is my chicken enchilada recipe:


cook 3 chicken breasts (makes about 8 or 9 enchiladas)

boil chicken till done or fill a frying pan with water and cook on top of stove
(sprinkle chicken with chicken seasoning - like for grilling) gives it a good flavor.
If you use fry pan method - you will need to add water frequently while simmering - water tends to disapait.

Once chicken is cooked, and cooled shred or chopped into fine bit size pieces.

While chicken is cooling make the sauce
(use enchilada seasoning packet-read package following directions)
After sauce is prepared turn off heat.

Spray a glass dish with Pam - and a little sauce in bottom.
Dip flour tortillas into sauce half way

lay in glass dish - add chicken & cheese and then roll. Put seem side down. Continue till you fill pan.

Pour remaining sauce on top of all tortillas, sprinkle with a little more cheese and cover glass dish with foil ...

bake 350 for 20 mins




Enjoy!

The Beginning of Something New

So...hello...I started this blog to fulfill a class requirement, but hey who knows I might get some entertainment out of it along the way. I don't really know what I'm gonna write about yet, but for right now I'll just stick with what I know- my fantastical life.

This past monday I attended my last first day of school. It freaks me out alot to say that because for as long as I can remember I have been a student and now I have to completely switch my life up and find something new to do. Probably should mention that I do not deal with change very well at all, so finding something new to do after I graduate scares me tremendously. Anywho, I started my last semester off right by high-centering my car in snow at the end of my driveway missing my first class of the day. Awesome!... However, I am not shocked because car mihaps are a daily occurence with me, and I am sure this will not be my only car drama this year as the snow has just begun.

Well this is all I can think of for now so yep...have a wonderful day!
