Slow Cooked Chicken Enchiladas and Sauce


Ingredients


  • 1/4 cup chili powder


  • 4 cups chicken stock


  • 6 ounces tomato paste (1 Can)


  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin


  • 1 teaspoon spanish paprika


  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle


  • 1/2 teaspoon salt


  • 1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder


  • 1 onion diced


  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs


  • Corn shells


  • Shredded Cheese


    • Directions

    In a bowl combine the first eight ingredients. Whisk until well combined about 1 minute.  Season chicken with salt and pepper (garlic powder, onion powder and Lawry's seasoned salt).  Spray slow cooker with vegetable spray.  Place chicken in slow cooker. Sprinkle diced onions over chicken.  Pour sauce over chicken. Cook on low 4 - 6 hours.  Remove chicken and shred with a fork.  Taste sauce, adjust seasonings if necessary.  (Tip: To thicken sauce, add 2 tablespoons of flour and bring to a boil). Add a few ladles of sauce to the chicken. Set aside. Heat enchiladas.  Dip in sauce.  Assemble enchiladas. Place sauce in bottom of baking dish. Place assembled enchiladas in baking dish.  Drizzle sauce over enchiladas.  Top with your favorite shredded cheese. Cook on 350 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes or until cheese melts.  Serve hot with your favorite spanish rice.








    When it comes to assembly, it's a messy job.  I set up an assembly line which starts with shells, sauce, cheese, chicken, more cheese and the baking dish.

    KETO LASAGNA

    An easy and super tasty lasagna, enjoy all the taste, without the carbs!  Even my picky sons loved this dish. I’ve tried multiple options for a low carb lasagna.  I’ve tried zucchini noodles.  Yuck!  I’ve tried spaghetti squash, still wasn’t what I was looking for.  Then, I discovered konjac noodles and thought this is it!  Sigh, it wasn’t.  After that, I saw a couple YouTube videos and looked into making some kinda cheese noodle in the oven and bake it and cut into strips.  That was a no for me, too much work.  I’ve already got enough to do.  Then, I thought, maybe a low carb taco or pita shell.  That led to cheese slices, then it hit me, deli meat.  Imagine, choirs singing!  Yes, that was it!  Fast, quick and super easy and super tasty.  My husband and sons didn’t even know I substituted the noodles. All ready to go in the oven TAH-DAH!!! The Best Keto Lasagna INGREDIENTS Meat Sauce ·         2 24 ounce jars Rao’s Pasta Sauc

What better way to celebrate father's than with an awesome BBQ spread?! On the menu for our Father's Day BBQ is: Smoked Pork Butt, Smoked Beef Brisket, Baked Beans and Caramel Apple Cheesecake.   So to my father, my husband, my father-in-law, my step father and all the dad's out there, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY and enjoy this menu.   LORINDA’S TOP TEN TIPS FOR SMOKING MEAT I’ve smoked meat several times.   Each time my meat has been better than the last time and these are my tips for flavorful and succulent smoked meat. Also, I have a Brinkman Smoke and Grill Smoker so my tips relating to the smoker are for this smoker. Trim excess fat from the meat.   Don’t trim it completely but you don’t want too much of a fat cap, because the fat will prevent the smoke flavor from really getting into the meat. Fi
