Easy Chicken Enchiladas

by

Who doesn’t LOVE a quick and easy enchilada recipe?  That would be straight up silly if you said you didn’t. It had been way too long since i’d made enchiladas, so it had to happen and it had to happen NOW.  These Easy Chicken Enchiladas are definitely a new fave and are SO easy because we use rotisserie chicken and store-bought organic enchilada sauce.

Easy Chicken Enchiladas

These enchi’s are extra saucy and so dang good. Alessandro no joke ate 5 of them the other night and wanted to go back for more, however…. he made the right decision and left it for his preggo wife. 🙂

You could easily prep the filling ahead of time if you’re in a time crunch, and then assemble these bad boys right before you’re ready to bake them- that would take no time at all!!

Easy Chicken Enchiladas

I used Siete Foods Almond Flour grain-free tortillas because I absolutely love love love them, however, you could easily use flour tortillas in place of these as well.

Hopefully, this makes getting dinner on the table less stressful and a little more fun since they are quick, simple, & delicious!! ENJOY!!

Easy, simple, and delicious weeknight chicken enchiladas! Loaded with shredded rotisserie chicken and green chiles and baked to bubbly, golden perfection!

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 T olive oil
  • 2 c cooked, shredded chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
  • 2– 4 oz cans diced green chiles
  • 2 T chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2– 15 oz cans store-bought or homemade red enchilada sauce
  • 3 c shredded mexican cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 Siete Foods Almond Flour Tortillas (flour tortillas will work also)

For Garnish (optional):

  • Avocado, sliced or cubed
  • Freshly chopped cilantro
  • Fresh jalepenos, sliced
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease 9 x 13 in casserole dish.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine chicken, 3/4 c enchilada sauce, green chiles, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a medium sized skillet. When oil is hot, add onion and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes. 
  4. Add sauteed onion and garlic to the bowl with chicken and chiles, along with 1 1/2 c cheese.  Toss to combine.
  5. Wrap tortillas in a dish towel and microwave for 20-25 seconds until warm. This helps them not break when you roll them up, however, a few cracks are totally fine.
  6. Place about 1/2 c of the filling towards the bottom half of each tortilla, tightly roll up, and place seam side down into your greased casserole dish.  Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  7. Once all tortillas are rolled up and in the casserole dish, pour remaining enchilada sauce all over the tops, followed by remaining cheese.
  8. Cover and bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 10-12 minutes, until cheese is brown and bubbly. 
  9. Remove from oven and garnish with Cilantro and serve with avocado, lime, and fresh jalapenos.

Avocado Chicken Salad

by

I love simple and delicious meals.  Not only does it make my life 10 times easier, but that also usually means I eat healthier throughout the week.  This Avocado Chicken Salad is nothing short of easy and delicious.  You can prep the chicken salad at the beginning of the week for lunches, however, wait to add the avocado until just before serving to keep it from browning.

I like serving this on top of mixed greens with fresh veggies, but it’s also incredibly delicious in a wrap, on crackers, or just by itself!

ENJOY!!

Mediterranean Chicken Bowls

by

Hi, friends..  Long time no talk, for real!
We were on vacation all last week in Rosemary Beach Florida, and let me just tell ya- that was a much needed break from the craziness that is life.  Our house is still being remodeled, so saying i’ve been flying by the seat of my pants in an understatement.
Mediterranean Chicken Bowls
We are still living with my brother and sister in law, and man oh man are we thankful for them!  I Also get to see my little nephews every day which is amazing.  I’ve cooked a little bit here and there, but pretty much all of my kitchen things are packed away so it’s been difficult to remain consistent with my posts if you know what i mean.  I realized it had been a couple of weeks since i posted a new recipe for you all which is way way way too long, so I went ahead and rummaged through all of the boxes to find my photography lighting last night.  So, finally, I am back in action and it feels so good!




These Mediterranean Chicken Bowls are SO yum, fresh, easy, and healthy.  All of the things you could ever want for a weeknight din. The prep time can take anywhere from 25-35 minutes, but after that, assembling the bowls is easy peasy.  You can also prep the quinoa tabouli ahead of time and store in the fridge overnight if you’d like.  The only thing left to do would be to roast the veggies and pan sear the chicken.  I like topping the bowls with tzatziki and hummus because it adds a creamy and flavorful touch,
This recipe serves 4, but would make fabulous leftovers for lunch the next day.  Enjoy!!!

  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

FOR THE BOWLS:

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 bunches of broccolini, stems removed and sliced into florets
  • Salt and Freshly cracked pepper
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 c cooked quinoa of choice (I used red quinoa)
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line baking sheet with foil.
  2. Add chicken breasts to a large ziplock bag with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme; let marinate while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
  3. Place cauliflower and broccolini florets onto baking sheet and generously drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, freshly cracked pepper, red pepper flakes and garlic powder; toss it around to evenly coat all pieces; roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway, until golden brown and slightly crisp.
  4. While the veggies are roasting, combine cooked quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, garlic, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, 1 T olive oil, chopped parsley, and salt and pepper in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add more salt and pepper if needed, and transfer to the fridge to chill.
  5. Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. When oil is hot, add chicken breasts to skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, longer depending on the thickness of your chicken. When the chicken is cooked and no longer pink, wrap in foil for 5 minutes before cutting into cubes -This lets the chicken rest and helps to lock in the juices.
  6. To assemble, add roasted veggies and quinoa tabouli to the bowls, followed by diced chicken, kalamata olives, feta cheese, a scoop of tzatziki and hummus, and garnished with parsley and a lemon wedge.

Grilled Chicken Kebabs with Lemon Herb Sauce

by

Grilling season has arrived!!! Seriously the best time of year.  Although, I contradict myself a little bit there because I always tell you all how I strongly dislike the Texas Heat.  Texas heat = summertime = grilling season… you follow? Okay well, whatever- I love grilling out regardless of the weather! These Grilled Chicken Kebabs with Lemon Herb Sauce (aka crack sauce) is just what you need to kick start the summer! They are beyond easy, can be prepped the night or day before and are so so yummy.  The lemon herb sauce, tho. If you’re wanting to add some zest to your life, you’re lookin’ at it girlfriends and boyfriends. D-E-L-I-S-H.

Chicken Kebabs with Lemon Herb Sauce

I don’t have much to report on the house renovation except for the fact that Alessandro officially completed all of the Demo by himself… Who knew he was such a handy man (news to me).  I’m tellin’ ya, he deserves 1 million gold stars! Our contractor +his crew should be starting any day now, so that’s when the real fun begins.  I’ll be sure to document the progress along the way so I can share lots of before & afters with you all.




Chicken Kebabs with Lemon Herb Sauce

I’m 100% convinced Kebabs are my new go-to summer entertaining meal of choice. They are just perfect and SO easy. Simply prep the sauce, kebabs, and sides ahead of time, and throw those suckers on the grill shortly before you’re ready to eat.  Entertaining does not need to be difficult.  I know it can be stressful, but meals like this are ideal because all of the grunt work can be done ahead of time.  That way, when your guests arrive, you can sip on cocktails with them and enjoy your evening but still serve a delicious and impressive meal! I served these kebabs with a big mixed greens salad and a lemon herb orzo and it was perfection! Any pasta salad or cold side dish would work well too.

Happy Almost Friday and Cheers!

Tomatillo Chicken & Rice Bowls

Tomatillo Chicken and Rice Bowls

Let’s get real, I just don’t have the time for extravagant weekend night meals anymore. SO- I’m getting more creative with prep ahead items and let me tell ya: total GAME.CHANGER. 

A few weekends ago, I had the time to actually meal prep for the first time in forever. It felt so good to have breakfast and lunch completely done and ready for the week. I also made a batch of my Roasted Tomatillo Salsa and doubled the amount of chicken when making my Skinny Chicken Salad.  I basicially just divided up the plain shredded chicken before adding all of the other ingredients for the chicken salad.  It’s so convenient to be able to reach in the fridge and already have shredded chicken waiting for you.  You could add it to soups, salads, enchiladas, tacos, etc.




When it came time for dinner, I added about a cup and a half of my Roasted Tomatillo salsa to the shredded chicken and that was that!  Then simply assemble the bowls with rice, chicken, tomatoes, avocado, and any and all toppings!  Enjoy!!

Skinny Chicken Salad

Raise em up if you’d like a super delicious and easy Skinny Chicken Salad Recipe to keep in your repertoire??!!

I know i’ve always LOVED chicken salad but you just never know what you’re gonna get when you order it! It could be loaded with unhealthy mayo galore! I created this Skinny Chicken Salad recipe as a lighter alternative to one of my favorite lunches/ mid-afternoon snacks.

Skinny Chicken Salad

To achieve the creaminess, we went halvsies with paleo mayo and greek yogurt–it’s such a great combo and you would honestly never know the difference! I used Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Mayo, which can be found at Whole Foods, Kroger, Sprouts, or on Amazon! If you don’t have Paleo mayo and would like to use regular, go for it! If you prefer to leave the mayo out all together, just go straight greek yogurt- you can’t go wrong since greek yogurt doesn’t have a super overwhelming flavor.

Skinny Chicken Salad

This is a perfect chicken salad recipe for salads, wraps, to serve with crackers, etc. etc. etc. I also kept it basic, but feel free to add other goodies such as nuts, grapes, apples, etc.!

Enjoy!!

Peanut Chicken Zucchini Noodle Bowls

by

Oh, HI Peanut Chicken Zucchini Noodle Bowls.

Peanut Chicken Zucchini Noodle Bowl

These bowls are super easy to make and perfect for those busy weeknights!  Might I add, they are insanely delicious and so so fresh.  The dressing can absolutely be prepped ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to use. It’s okay if you sneak in a few spoonfuls, there is plenty and your secret is most def safe with me.

Alessandro approves of zucchini noodles, however, there is absolutely zero hesitation or gleam in his eye when I mix another kind of noodle in there.  This recipe didn’t originally call for flat rice noodles, however I added them to our bowls and it was beyond delish! I added it into the recipe as optional, so I’ll leave that up to you! You can get flat rice noodles at most grocery stores in the Asian/Vietnamese food section. It adds a nice crunch, I must say.





The rest of the ingredients in this bowl are as fresh as they come: sliced cucumber, avocado, jalapeño, peanuts, lime, and an incredible peanut vinaigrette that you may or may not want to eat by the spoonful.

Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice

by

Hi there, Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice. 

Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice

Another simple, healthy, and super delicious meal coming’ at ya!  This Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice is a low-carb take on your traditional fried rice.  It contains ginger, garlic, scallions, carrots, bell pepper, peas, riced cauliflower, and scrambled eggs.  Then tossed with soy sauce & sesame oil and topped off with scallions and sriracha.

I’ve recently become a big time fan of cauliflower rice.  I’m talking in the last 2-3 months.  And yes, I realize I am behind the times, however, one bad experience and I was out. For awhile..

Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice

A few TIPPS takeaways would be:

  1. If you are making your own cauliflower rice, make it right before cooking.
  2. If you are buying pre-riced cauliflower at the store, buy it the same day you plan on using it.

These might seem like silly or obvious #tipps, however, pre-riced cauliflower starts to have a funny smell if you buy it a few days prior and that might be enough to turn you off of cauliflower rice FOREVER.  Trust me, been there done that.  But I’m back now, and I’m back for goooooood.





I made this in my large all-clad skillet tonight, but without a doubt bring out that WOK if you have one!  Also, if you’d rather have shrimp fried rice, then just go ahead and do it why don’t ya- easy substitution right there!

Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice

I served this deliciousness in my favorite coconut bowls and added sriracha because I love love love the extra heat.  Happy Sunday and enjoy!!!
