Oh. My. Goodness. I love this soup. It came from my mother-in-law, who is a fantastic cook. It is perfect for a cold winter's night. Enjoy!

Sour Cream Enchiladas

Hooray, I'm finally posting a recipe on here! This one comes from my mother in law's ward cookbook. These are by far my favorite chicken enchiladas to date.

Sour Cream Enchiladas

1 c. chopped onion
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. flour
3 c. chicken broth
8 oz. sour cream
3 c. small diced cooked chicken
1 small can chopped green chilies
2 c. shredded cheddar/monterey jack cheese
10 flour tortillas

Melt butter and saute onions in a fry pan. Add flour and chicken broth and cook until bubbling and thick. Cool for 10 minutes and then stir in the sour cream.

Mix chicken, green chilies, 1 cup sauce, and 1 cup cheese. Dip the tortillas into the warm sauce; fill with chicken mixture and roll. Put into a lightly greased pan. Pour remaining sauce; sprinkle the cheese over the top and bake for 25 minutes. Serve on shredded lettuce with tomatoes with a dollop of sour cream, a slice of avocado, and an olive.


Enjoy!

Nutty Chicken Fingers

One that kids and grown-ups enjoy! I got this recipe from a cute little cook book that my Aunt gave me called Cooking for Kids by Taste of Home. I really like these because the kids like them, adults like them, and most importantly, they are baked not fried!

1/2 Cup finely chopped Pecans
1/3 Cup crushed Cornflakes
1 T dried Parsley flakes
1/8 tsp Garlic Powder (I use a little more)
1/8 tsp Salt
2 T Milk
3/4 pound boneless skinless Chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips

In a shallow bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Place milk in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken strips in milk, then roll in Pecan mixture. Place on a cookie sheet or baking pan and bake for 12-15 minutes. I like to cook mine for a little longer, so the outside gets a little crispier. I usually have to make extra of the pecan mixture, since it usually doesn't make enough for the amount of chicken I have.
