Spring Pasta Salad

I enjoy making this Chicken Pasta Salad.

What you need:

  • Chicken Chopped into bite size squares  ( I used some leftover gilled chicken)
  • Fusilli Pasta
  • A block of Monterey Jack Cheese (Cut into squares)
  • A block of Cheddar (Cut into Squares)
  • Cucummbers (sliced)
  • Italian Dressing (you’ll need the whole bottle)
  • Black Pepper (to taste)

Heat the pasta as direct on the box. (Chop the cheese & cucumber while you wait) Once it is done drain it out and rinse with cold water. In a large serving bowl mix all the ingredients. Enjoy!

Tony’s Chicken Enchiladas

Today I’m going to share my husband’s Chicken Enchiladas recipe. I made him make me some while he was here on leave :) They are very easy to make and so delicious.

Here is what you need:

  • Shredded Chicken (we usually be the roasted chicken from our local grocery store)
  • Flour Tortillas
  • Monterey Jack & Cheddar Cheese Shredded
  • Green Enchilada Sauce (28oz) I prefer Las Palmas
  • Sour Cream

Preheat oven to 350

Heat up the flour tortillas on a skillet. Once you’ve heated all the tortillas you will use, stuff them with chicken and some cheese, roll them up and place them with the seam facing down on a casserole. Pour the Green Chile Enchilada sauce on them then top off with some more Cheese. Bake them for 10-20 minutes until the cheese is melted. Once they are done serve and top with Sour Cream. (as you can see from the picture above my husband likes to put a lot of sour cream on it) Enjoy!

Malibu Rum chicken & Strawberry salad

Tonight I made a Malibu rum chicken on a bed of strawberry salad topped with almonds & a raspberry vinaigrette. The salad alone looked so delicious I didn’t want to cook the chicken, but I’m glad I did. The combination of the Malibu & strawberries with the chicken was fantastic! I love it!! Try it at home and let me know what you think.

Here’s the salad alone:

All I did to make the chicken is add 2 cups of Malibu, about 1/2 – 1 cup of lemon juice, some black pepper, parsley and a little rosemary. I let it sit over night in the fridge, then I cook it with a little olive oil in a pan. It was so easy & fast to make.
