Chicken recipes part 2

Crockpot chicken sour cream enchilada casserole

1tablespoon Vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
one 24 to 32 ounce can green chile enchilada sauce
1 dozen soft corn tortillas, each one cut into 4 strips
... 2 and one half to 3 cups cooked boneless, skinless chicken, cut into 1 inch pieces
4 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
2 cups sour cream
In a large skillet sauté the onions.
Pour about one half of the enchilada sauce into the slow cooker, tilt to spread it around. In layers add one-quarter of the tortilla strips, one-quarter of the remaining sauce, one-third of the sautéed onion, one-third of the chicken, and one quarter of the cheese. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with the cheese.
Spoon the sour cream over the surface of the casserole in big dollops. Use a spatula or the back of a large spoon to gently spread it all around without disturbing the layers. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours or LOW for 4 hours.

Crockpot Hawaiian BBQ Chicken

4-6 Boneless Chicken Breasts (mine were still frozen!)

1 Bottle Archer Farms Hawaiian Style Barbecue Sauce (from Target)

1 20 oz. can Pineapple Chunks, drained

Spray the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray for an easy cleanup! Place frozen chicken breasts in the crock pot and cover with sauce. Empty can of drained pineapple chunks on top. Cook on High for 2-3 hours or Low for 4-6 hours. Shred chicken with two forks while still in the crock pot so the chicken will be well coated with sauce. Serve over rice

Malibu Chicken Sandwiches

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup flour, seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic powder

1 cup breadcrumbs

2 eggs + 2 T. water, blended

8 slices thinly sliced ham

4 slices Swiss cheese (I used Monterey Cheese because that's what I had)

Lettuce

Mayonnaise

Honey Mustard

Pound 4 chicken breasts until 1/2 inch thick and cut into two pieces, this will make eight breasts for eight sandwiches. Beat eggs and water together in a shallow dish. Place breadcrumbs and flour in separate bowls. Dip the chicken in the flour, then the egg, and then the breadcrumbs. Place on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown and cooked through. Place 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of cheese on top of each chicken breast. Turn oven to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes to heat the ham and melt the cheese. Make sure to watch the whole time so it doesn't burn. Place one of the chicken breast/ham/cheese on a bun and garnish with lettuce, mayonnaise and honey mustard. Serve warm.

Mexi-Burritos

1 lb chicken, cooked & shredded (or diced)
1 can black beans
1 box Mexican Rice-a-Roni
1 can green enchilada sauce
Shredded Cheese
Tortillas

Directions:  Cook your chicken (or use a rotisserie chicken), heat up with the enchilada sauce.  Cook the rice, heat up the beans in the microwave, and pile everything on a warmed tortilla.  Wrap up to make burrito.  Smother with extra sauce (optional) and/or sour cream, tomatoes, etc.  Or, just eat it plain!  It's good and easy, either way.
