Creamy Chicken With Pesto

Southern Food

• 4 to 6 Chicken breast halves
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons flour
• could add chopped onion
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• 4 ounces mushrooms, I chopped them up small so my kids couldn't tell

Dredge chicken in the mixture above.  Saute the chicken, onions, garlic, and mushrooms till browned. Then put the chicken only in a baking dish, set oven 350.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons prepared pesto
• In the sauted oil pan- I added the mushrooms concoction then added the pesto and then mixed in a small bowl 1/4c-1/2c cold water with 1/4c whole wheat flour to make a creamy sauce instead of using cream. 

Mix the sauce and reserve a 1/2c for after the chicken is cooked to serve with.  Add the rest of the sauce to the baking dish with the chicken and bake for 30-45min.

Serve with salad and rice or pasta.

I do like to have the top of the chicken a little browned by broiling it in the oven for about 10min.

Goes well with Zucchini and squash

Red Sauce Enchiladas

Tortillas
1 can of enchilada sauce
1 can of chicken (15oz) or 3 chicken breasts (shred)
1/2 block of cream cheese or sour cream or yogurt
1 Can Black beans or pinto
3 garlic cloves
1 T oregano
1 sauteed onion
salt and pepper

Warm everything in a pot.

Shred cheese and add to the mixture inside the tortilla


Can do 2 different ways:
#1- (the final product are saucy and soft filled tortillas)
roll warmed mixture into tortilla, line up in a greased 9x13 pan, pour more sauce over it and cook, 350 for 20 min

#2- (the final product are crispy and crunchy filled tortillas), I love these crispy tortillas frozen,
 heat oven 425, roll warmed mixture into tortilla, space the tortillas apart  not touching,  place seam down on a greased baking cookie sheet.  No sauce.  Spray rolled tortilla lightly with cooking spray, or lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.  Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.

Serve with rice and beans and avocado or Guacamole (look at part 3 of the recipe)
