Chicken Enchilladas

My husband is making this dish tonight and it took me forever to find the recipe. So I'm posting it here. :) Now we can always find it.

I don't usually measure anything for this. Many times I open 2 cans of Chicken and just use 8 tortillas, using 1/4 of each can in each tortilla. I just approximate or use the can of soup to measure the sour cream and then 1/2 a can for the salsa.

Chicken Enchilladas
Heat oven to 350 F

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can chopped green chilis  or 1/2 c salsa

1 tsp garlic

1T chopped cilantro

1/4 c diced green onion

1 T diced dry onion

1 tsp parsley 
3 c chicken diced
1 c sour cream
1 1/2 - 2 c grated cheddar cheese
10 flour tortillas

Prepare 13 x 9 pan w spray. Combine chicken soup, salsa and sour cream. Set some sauce aside (1/2 c.) for top layer.
Place a tortilla on a clean plate or in your hand and layer as follows: 1/3 c chicken, 2 T sauce, sprinkle of cheese. Wrap tortilla and place in prepared pan. Repeat for remaining 9.
Spoon the 1/2 c sauce over the top of the tortillas. Sprinkle a little more cheese on that.
Bake for 30 min at 350 F.

Baked Cinnamon Walnuts

Soaking walnuts gets the tannis, enzyme inhibitors, phytic acid off.

Add enough water so the nuts are covered. Add 1 tsp salt. Drain and replace water. Soak again. 24-36 hours. I use my glass pan.

Then bake at 200 F for 2 hours. 

Place then in a jar and add cinnamon and stevia.

Sprouting Chicken Peas - Simple Method

After three days of soaking(and rinsing), the chicken peas are sprouting. Can you see the little knob of growth? 

This is enough.

But if you want the full benefits, follow these steps. Taste the sprout, not the whole bean to determine readiness.

Paleo Lemon Bars (sugar free, dairy free, gluten free)

Create the crust and bake it. Preheat over 350 F. 

Note: Take your 4 eggs out of the fridge. They'll need to be room temperature for the curd. 

4 T melted coconut oil

1 1/4 c almond flour

zest of one lemon or 1 tsp lemon concentrate

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 c granulated Pyure (granulated stevia blend)

2 T water

Melt coconut oil in microwave in glass bowl. Set aside to cool. Blend other ingredients. Add cooled oil and mix thoroughly. 

Press into greased 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 F for 15 min. It should look dry and golden.

While the crust is baking, Make the curd.

4 lg eggs, room temperature 

2/3 c lemon juice (from 4 LG lemons) or 1/3 c concentrate, 1/3 c room temperature water

1/3 c Pyure (granulated stevia blend)

2 tsp tapioca (or arrowroot) starch

Whisk well.

Once your crust is done, take it out of the oven and pour curd directly in. Whisk it a few times first if it's been sitting. 

Place into the oven for an additional 15 min. Once the 15 min are done, turn the oven off and keep pan inside. Crack the oven door open just a bit by sticking a wooden spoon in the small opening. 

Let it sit in the oven an additional 20 min. This will prevent cracks in the lemon layer. 

Remove dish from oven. Place it on a cooking rack to cool completely. 

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in fridge until lemon curd later is set.  About 4 hours. 

Saving turkey broth

Remember that lovely turkey broth (drippings) from your turkey pan?

Collect those!

It's helpful to measure the broth while collecting and storing it. 

Lovely. A quart.
