How to Make Chicken Enchiladas

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: To the skillet, add the cooked chicken, black beans, diced green chiles, chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, salt, and half a cup of enchilada sauce. Mix well until blended.

To Assemble the Enchiladas:

Step 3: Over the bottom of a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish, spread a half cup of enchilada sauce. Down the center of the tortilla and slightly to the side of the center, place a half cup of the chicken and bean mixture, then top with 1/3 cup of cheese.

Step 4: Tightly roll the tortilla up and place it, seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Do the same with the rest of the tortillas.

written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 20 mins | Total Time: 30 mins | Servings: 4

Experience the Italian dining experience right in the comfort of your home with this easy, delicious Italian Chicken Pasta in Creamy White Wine Parmesan Cheese Sauce!

Ingredients

Cooking chicken:

2 tbsp olive oil

4 thin boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 2 thick ones, halved horizontally and paper towel dried)

½ c. flour

2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

Pasta:

12 ounces of spaghetti

White Wine, Parmesan Sauce:

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 small yellow onion (or use ½ onion) chopped

4 tbsp butter

2 scallions, chopped

1 tbsp flour

1 c. heavy cream

½ c. Parmesan cheese, shredded

1 c. white wine

1 tsp Italian Seasoning

2 small tomatoes, diced

¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

½ tsp salt more to taste

How to make Italian Chicken Pasta in Creamy White Wine, Parmesan, Cheese Sauce

Step 1: Start by slicing the chicken breasts horizontally. Alternately, you simply use thin chicken breasts. Then, pat them dry using a paper towel.

Step 2: Place the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Mix well. Coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture using a fork or tongs. Press the chicken breasts into the flour mixture before flipping and coating the other side. Set aside.

Step 3: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet once the oil is hot and sear for about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until both sides are golden brown and the chicken is completely cooked, flipping once. Set the chicken aside when done.

Step 4: To make the sauce, place the butter, diced yellow onion, and minced garlic cloves in a pan. Cook for about 2 minutes over medium heat or until the onions and garlic are translucent. Then, add the chopped scallions and tomatoes. Add 1 tbsp flour and stir well until blended. Next, pour in the heavy cream and wine. Season with Italian Seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. Bring everything to a simmering point before adding a half cup of the shredded Parmesan cheese. Stir well using a whisk or wooden spoon until smooth.

Step 5: Following the package directions, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain when done, but do not rinse.

Step 6: To assemble: With the sauce in the skillet, add to the cooked pasta. Toss and cook for about 2 to 4 minutes over low heat. If needed, season with extra salt. Place the chicken back into the skillet over the pasta and heat for about 5 minutes.

Step 7: Enjoy the chicken over or next to the pasta. If desired, sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.

  • ½ c. flour
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Pasta:
  • 12 ounces of spaghetti
  • White Wine, Parmesan Sauce:
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion (or use ½ onion) chopped
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 c. heavy cream
  • ½ c. Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1 c. white wine
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 2 small tomatoes, diced
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ tsp salt more to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Start by slicing the chicken breasts horizontally. Alternately, you simply use thin chicken breasts. Then, pat them dry using a paper towel.

Step 2: Place the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Mix well. Coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture using a fork or tongs. Press the chicken breasts into the flour mixture before flipping and coating the other side. Set aside.

Step 3: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet once the oil is hot and sear for about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until both sides are golden brown and the chicken is completely cooked, flipping once. Set the chicken aside when done.

Step 4: To make the sauce, place the butter, diced yellow onion, and minced garlic cloves in a pan. Cook for about 2 minutes over medium heat or until the onions and garlic are translucent. Then, add the chopped scallions and tomatoes. Add 1 tbsp flour and stir well until blended. Next, pour in the heavy cream and wine. Season with Italian Seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. Bring everything to a simmering point before adding a half cup of the shredded Parmesan cheese. Stir well using a whisk or wooden spoon until smooth.

Step 5: Following the package directions, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain when done, but do not rinse.

Step 6: To assemble: With the sauce in the skillet, add to the cooked pasta. Toss and cook for about 2 to 4 minutes over low heat. If needed, season with extra salt. Place the chicken back into the skillet over the pasta and heat for about 5 minutes.

Step 7: Enjoy the chicken over or next to the pasta. If desired, sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.

How to make Spinach Ricotta Cannelloni

SAUCE:

Step 1: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and onion to the skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until translucent. Next, add the tomato, water, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

Step 2: Adjust the heat to medium and simmer everything for about 5 minutes. If desired, you can pour in a half cup of water and mix it into the sauce until smooth.

Step 3: Add the basil and dried herbs. Stir well and set the sauce aside.

FILLING:

Step 4: In a colander, place the spinach and press out as much liquid as you can. In a bowl, place the spinach along with the remaining filling ingredients. Mix well and adjust the salt and pepper according to taste.

TO ASSEMBLE & BAKE:

Step 5: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F. For this recipe, I used a 21 x 26 cm or 8.5 x 10.5-inches baking pan.

Step 6: On the base of the prepared baking pan, spread a little amount of the sauce.

Step 7: To a piping bag with a large nozzle, transfer the filling. Alternately, you can use a strong ziplock bag. You can also use a knife. Into the tubes, pipe the filling and place it in the baking dish. On top, pour the rest of the sauce, making sure to cover all the tubes. Tent with foil and place in the preheated oven. Bake for about 25 minutes. Uncover and scatter the cheese on top. Continue to bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Step 8: Serve the Spinach Ricotta Cannelloni garnished with more basil. Enjoy!

by Rebecca July 2, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 45 mins | Total Time: 55 mins | Yield: 6 people

This cracked-out quiche is super good and loaded with cheddar, bacon, and ranch. It is incredibly easy to make using only seven ingredients. You can even assemble this quiche in advance and freeze it unbaked for later. If you are looking for another great quick breakfast or dinner option, you have to give this cracked-out quiche a try.

This homemade cracked-out quiche is a staple at my house. We love to serve this with some grits and biscuits for breakfast or with a simple salad for dinner. We love this cheesy and packed with bacon quiche to the bone that this has become one of our go-to for an easy and fast meal option.

Ingredients

3 eggs

¾ c. cooked chopped bacon

1 (9”) deep-dish pie crust

1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

¼ c. milk

½ c. prepared light Ranch dressing

¼ c. heavy cream

HOW TO MAKE CRACKED-OUT QUICHE

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F.

Step 2: In the bottom of the pie crust, place the bacon and sprinkle with cheese.

Step 3: Beat the eggs, milk, cream, and Ranch dressing until combined. Pour this on top of the bacon and cheese. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes or until the middle of the quiche is set and turned lightly browned.

Step 4: Remove from the oven when done and let the quiche cool for at least 5 minutes.

Step 5: Slice and serve and enjoy!

Notes:

This quiche can be assembled and frozen unbaked. When ready to bake, thaw the quiche completely and bake as instructed.

For this recipe, I love to use Hidden Valley Ranch or Ken’s Ranch Dressing.

You can use turkey bacon. Note that 3/4 c cooked bacon is around 3/4 lb. Raw bacon.

Feel free to use low-fat milk.
