One Skillet Meal

I am all about a meal that is simple and uses the least amount of dishes. I am also a big fan of finding new recipes on Pinterest. Of all the things the internet is good for, sharing food and experiences with those recipes is high on my list!

I did just a couple of things differently than the recipe calls for you to do. I did omit the chipotle chili powder because my 5 year old would be eating it and I was afraid it may be too spicy for her. I also used monterey jack cheese instead of colby-jack simply because we like it better.

Overall opinion: it was meh. It was actually bland and I probably should have added the chipotle chili powder. I honestly couldn't even taste the green chilies at all. The corn tortillas added to the bland because they pretty much became mush in the pan. It was so underwhelming that I even forgot to snap a photo. We all agreed it was missing something. Unfortunately, we probably won't try this one again for a while.

One Pan Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada Skillet

Recipe via Heather Likes Food

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp all purpose flour
• 2 C chicken broth
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• ⅛ tsp chipotle chili powder (optional)
• ¼ tsp oregano
• 1 (4oz) can chopped green chilies
• 1 (4oz) can chopped black olives
• 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 C sour cream
• 12 corn tortillas, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1-2 C colby-jack cheese, grated

In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Stir in flour, cook for 1 minute and whisk in chicken broth. Continue stirring until smooth and thickened-- about 2-3 minutes.

Stir chipotle chili powder, salt, oregano, green chilies and black olives into the sauce and place chicken breasts into pan. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover and cook about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Remove chicken from pan, leaving the heat on low, and place chicken on a plate to shred into bite-sized pieces.

Stir sour cream into the sauce and return chicken to the pan along with the tortillas. Stir until combined and top with grated cheese. Cover pan and cook for 5-8 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
