'EASIEST EVER' CHICKEN MOLE ENCHILADAS



'Easiest Ever' Chicken Mole Enchiladas image

In Mexico, rich mole poblano is a celebratory dish, often made for special occasions, which takes about 4 days. The sauce in this recipe is a streamlined version that packs in deep and delicious flavor and is easy to make ahead and freeze, so even weekdays can be festive.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
5 dried pasilla or anocho chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 1/2 cups hot water
2 (6-inch) corn tortillas, or handful regular tortilla chips
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 medium onions, chopped
Kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 3/4 cups chicken stock
One 3.1-ounce disk Mexican chocolate, chopped, (recommended: Ibarra*)
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, as needed
Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed
1/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup queso fresco or mild Feta

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a baking sheet, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool, then shred into small bite-sized pieces.
  • For the mole: Reconstitute the dried chiles by soaking them in 1 1/2 cups hot water for 15 minutes. Then drain and set aside. Toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until dry, crisp and golden. Tear into pieces and set aside. In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, season with a little salt and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to a blender with the chiles, tortillas, peanut butter and oregano. Pour the chicken stock over and blend until very smooth. Then transfer the sauce to a medium saute pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in the chocolate. Season the mole with salt and pepper. Reserve 1 cup of mole for garnishing the enchiladas, the rest will be used for dipping the tortillas.
  • To assemble the enchiladas: Fill a medium saute pan half way with oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, dip 1 tortilla at a time and fry just until soft and heated through, a few seconds. Lift out, let the excess oil drip off and then dip the fried tortilla directly into the warm mole (which should be right next to the pan for easy dipping) and transfer to a plate. Working quickly, put 1/3 cup of the shredded chicken in the center, being careful not to over fill. Roll the tortilla like a cigar to enclose the filling and place in a serving dish seam- side down. Continue to fill all of the tortillas and place them side-by- side. Pour the reserved mole over the top. (This recipe can be tightly wrapped and frozen for 3 weeks at this stage. To reheat: Preheat oven to 350degrees F, unwrap and bake until sauce is bubbly and enchiladas are heated through, about 20 to 25 minutes.) To serve, drizzle with a little sour cream and sprinkle with queso.

EASY!!! EASIEST CHICKEN DINNER EVER



Easy!!! Easiest Chicken Dinner Ever image

Very simple and fast. Kids and adults love it. Got the recipe from a girl I worked with years ago. Not sure where she got it. You really need to use the tenders NOT chicken breasts for it to be the best. Also, if you just use regular canned tomatoes it will be bland. You need to use Rotel which is tomatoes and green chilis. You could also add some onion but I omit because the less prep the better. This is just dump and cook! This could also probably be microwaved but I have never tried it. Prep time is less than 5 minutes and only 1 pan to clean.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

1 lb chicken tenders, raw
1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (10 ounce) can rotel
1 cup white rice, uncooked
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
garlic powder
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Using a large, deep skillet with a cover pour can of chicken broth and can of rotel into skillet.
  • Stir in cup of rice.
  • Lay chicken tenders on top of rice and sprinkle with garlic, salt and pepper. Go easy on the pepper if you don't like it too hot because the Rotel has a little kick to it.

EASIEST "HOMEMADE" CHICKEN (OR TURKEY) POT PIE EVER!

Your family or guests won't ever suspect you didn't slave away all day! This is also a wonderful use for leftover turkey! My kids don't like veggies, so you won't see many in this recipe. You can always add celery, carrots or peas as desired. Serve with a nice green salad.

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 50m

Yield 1 deep-dish pie, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ready-made pie crusts (I prefer Pillsbury)
4 skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons margarine
1 (14 ounce) can corn
1 (14 ounce) can green beans
4 potatoes
3 (10 1/2 ounce) cans gravy (I like to use 1 each of chicken, turkey & beef, but you can play with this one.)
poultry seasoning
garlic salt
salt & pepper
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and take pie crusts out of the fridge to allow to warm up a bit.
  • Saute the chicken in a large, deep skillet with the chopped onion and 2 TB margarine until chicken is no longer pink. Season with 3 dashes poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and 2 dashes garlic salt. While chicken is cooking, peel and chop potatoes. Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with a little bit of water, cover and microwave for 8 minutes.
  • When chicken is done, add cans of gravy and worcestershire sauce. Gravy should "bite" just a little bit from the worcestershire sauce, as the flavors will mellow out while baking (worcestershire sauce may have to be adjusted depending on which brand of gravy you use.)
  • Add veggies to chicken mixture.
  • Unroll one crust and place in the bottom of a 2-quart oven-proof dish. Pour chicken mixture on top, and cover with other crust. Seal & crimp crust and cut for venting.
  • Bake at 400 degrees until top is browned, about 20 minutes.

EASIEST EVER CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Easiest Ever Chicken and Dumplings Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
1 (14-ounce) package refrigerated Azteca burrito size flour tortillas, cut into 2- to 3-inch strips
8 cups chicken broth
Chicken bouillon or 'Better Than Bouillon' chicken base, to taste
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Dash garlic salt
Dash poultry seasoning, optional
2 to 3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Bring the broth and desired seasonings (bouillon, salt, pepper, garlic salt, poultry seasoning) to a boil in a large (preferably non-stick) pot over medium-high heat. Drop the tortilla strips, one at a time, into the boiling broth, gently pushing them down to the bottom. Resist the urge to stir as they are fragile and will fall apart if stirred too much. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or to your liking, lightly shaking the pot occasionally to move them around. Remove from heat and gently stir in the butter, milk, and cooked chicken. Refrigerate leftovers. Reheat in the microwave, adding a dab of milk, if needed.

'EASIEST EVER' CHICKEN MOLE ENCHILADAS RECIPE



'Easiest Ever' Chicken Mole Enchiladas Recipe image

Provided by á-5911

Number Of Ingredients 21

Mole:
2 chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
5 dried pasilla chiles, (or dried anocho chiles) stemmed and seeded
1/2 cup hot water
2 (6-inch) corn tortillas, grilled crisp, recipe follows (or handful of regular tortilla chips)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 medium onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 3/4 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
5.5 ounces Mexican chocolate, chopped, (recommended: Ibarra*)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Enchiladas:
12 corn tortillas, warmed
Olive oil, as needed
1/4 cup creme fraiche (or sour cream)
3/4 cup queso fresco (or mild Feta)

Steps:

  • For the chicken breasts: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On a baking sheet, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and olive oil, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until cooked through or, set aside to cool, then shred into small (1-inch) pieces. For the Mole: Reconstitute the dried chiles by soaking them in 1 1/2 cups hot water for 15 minutes, then drain and set aside. Grill the 2 corn tortillas in a grill pan until dry, crisp and golden. Tear into pieces and set aside. In a heavy large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, season with a little salt and saute 3 minutes, or until translucent. Then add the minced garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer onion and garlic mixture to blender with all remaining mole ingredients (except for the chocolate and chicken) and blend until very smooth. Then transfer the sauce to a medium saute pan and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in the chocolate. Season the mole with salt and pepper to taste. Reserve 1 cup of mole for garnishing the enchiladas, the rest will be used for dipping the tortillas. To assemble the enchiladas: Re-heat the shredded chicken if necessary and keep warm. In a medium saute pan (wide enough to fit the tortillas laying flat) over high heat add the oil to reach 1/2-inch up the side. When oil is hot, dip one tortilla at a time, and fry for a few seconds just until soft and heated through. Lift out, let excess oil drip, then dip the fried tortilla directly into the warm mole (which should be right next to the pan for easy dipping) and place on a cutting board. Working quickly, put about 1/3 cup of the warm shredded chicken in the center, being careful not to over fill. Roll the tortilla like a cigar to enclose the filling and place in serving dish seam side down. (Individual gratin dishes work great to hold the extra mole sauce or if serving family style, a baking dish will work as well.) If necessary, use tongs or a spatula to place each enchilada seam side down in the dish. Continue to fill all of the tortillas and place them side-by-side. Pour the remaining, reserved Mole over the top, drizzle with a little creme fraiche, sprinkle with queso fresco, and serve.

Easiest Ever Generic Chicken (In the Microwave!) image

Do you have a recipe that calls for cooked chicken? I have roughly 23,000,000 of them and yet I never seem to have any cooked chicken sitting around. That's where this recipe comes in. It's very popular on allrecipes.com because it makes perfectly moist and delicious chicken every time, pretty much with no effort. It's even great made with one bouillon cube,no butter, and just a sprinkling of garlic salt--that's how I always make it, in an effort to make it even healthier.
