Chicken Enchiladas with Sour Cream White Sauce

by Rebecca August 14, 2020
written by Rebecca

Enchiladas are one of my weaknesses. They are so easy to make and the ingredients are pretty straightforward. Cheeses, butter, tortillas, chilies, and meat are all you need to whip this up. Enchiladas are a sure-fire, always a hit during game nights and gatherings.

Lately, I have been obsessing about these chicken enchiladas with sour cream white sauce. It is so freaking delicious, I just can’t help myself but to indulge. It’s creamy, savory with a little bit of spice.

Ingredients

10 small soft flour tortillas (you can use corn but I like flour with chicken)

3 tablespoons flour

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup sour cream

2 1/2 cups shredded and cooked chicken (we like to use rotisserie chicken)

3 cups Monterey Jack cheese – shredded

3 tablespoons butter

4oz can diced green chilies (I like medium – they are not spicy at all)

How to make Chicken Enchiladas with Sour Cream White Sauce

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

Step 2: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with a cup of cheese.

Step 3: Then, fill the tortillas with the chicken-and-cheese mixture. Roll the filled tortillas and put them in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.

Step 4: In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 5: Add in the flour into the melted butter and whisk for a minute over medium heat.

Step 6: Pour in the broth, whisk, and continue cooking until thick and the mixture bubbles up.

Step 7: Now, remove the broth from the heat and stir in the sour cream and chilies. Make sure that before adding in the sour cream that the mixture is not too hot or the sour cream will curdle.

Step 8: Then, pour the mixture on top of the enchiladas and top with the rest of the cheese.

Step 9: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 23 minutes. Then, broil for at least 3 minutes to brown the cheese.

Crispy Southern Fried Pork Chops

by Rebecca August 14, 2020
written by Rebecca

Serves: 4-5 | Prep: 15 Min | Cook: 15 Min

My ultimate comfort food! Crispy, seasoned chops that are fried to perfection! Pair it with mashed potatoes, veggies, and gravy for a complete meal.

This simple recipe is a winner. A timeless Southern fried pork chops that are undeniably crispy and delicious! My kids love these chops and they prefer to put spoonfuls of creamy gravy on top. Try it and I am sure you’ll love it too!

Ingredients

1 1/2 to 2 lb boneless pork chops, thin sliced

1 cup milk

1 large egg

1 cup self-rising flour

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 1/2 teaspoons chicken-flavored base

3/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste

oil for frying (I use canola)

How to Make Crispy Southern Fried Pork Chops

Step 1: To start, remove the chops from the package, then, wash and pat them dry.

Step 2: Put the washed pork chops on a cutting board and pound both sides using a meat mallet.

Step 3: Place the egg and milk in a bowl. Using a fork, mix them well.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, chicken-flavored base, and seasonings.

Step 5: Place the pork chops into the flour mixture to dredge, then, dip into the milk-and-egg mixture before rolling in flour mixture.

Step 6: In a heavy skillet or cast-iron chicken fryer, heat about an inch of oil. Once hot, add in the pork chops making sure to not overcrowd the pan. You can cook at least 2 or 3 pieces of chops at the same time.

Step 7: Fry the chops for at least 3 to 5 minutes on each side until the golden and the juices run clear.

Step 8: Repeat the same process with the remaining pork chops.

Step 9: Transfer the cooked pork chops onto a serving plate and serve hot with your side of choice.

NOTE:

If you are looking for a chicken-flavored base, you can get it from most grocery stores in the soup/bullion side. This base is like a moist powder.

written by Rebecca

I will always have a nostalgic feeling whenever I make this pie. This goes way back. I remembered my grandmother, she’s fond of making pie and one of her favorites is this Buttermilk Pie.

This precious pie will always have a special place in my heart. It’s my favorite! I love the silky texture and perfectly sweet taste it has. This is a breeze to make and is made of a few simple pantry ingredients from sugar, butter, eggs, and flour. And magically the filling transforms into a custard when baking without a fuss! This pie is sincerely amazing and heavenly.

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups sugar

1 stick unsalted butter, room temp

3 large eggs

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

pinch of salt

1 cup buttermilk

How to Make Buttermilk Pie

Step 3: For the rest of the mixture, pour them into an ungreased custard cup.

Step 4: Place inside the oven and bake at 300 degrees for an hour an 10 minutes.

Coconut Topped / Cream Cheese Sheet Cake

by Rebecca August 13, 2020
written by Rebecca

Serves: 24 squares | Prep: 15 Min | Cook: 40 Min

This is a lovely cake that you can make in a breeze. Super moist, incredibly light, and freaking delicious! The perfect summer dessert with cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)

6 oz cream cheese, softened

6 eggs

2 1/4 cups sugar

1 – 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or for more of a coconut flavor, add coconut extract

2 1/4 cups cake flour

1/8 cup coconut milk or coconut cream – optional

FOR THE FROSTING: (I DOUBLE THE RECIPE)

1/4 cup butter, softened

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 teaspoon vanilla or coconut extract is good as well

1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

1/2 cup coconut- for toasting and sprinkling on top of the frosting

How to Make Coconut Topped / Cream Cheese Sheet Cake

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

Step 2: Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. You are welcome to use a sheet cake pan if you prefer a thicker cake.

Step 3: In a bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugar.

Step 4: One at a time, beat in the eggs, then, the vanilla and flour. At this point, you can add milk if using. Beat thoroughly.

Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread.

Step 6: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Step 7: Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool on a cooling rack. Don’t fret because the cake will fall when cooling, that’s is perfectly normal. The cake should be thick as a sheet cake and it’ll not be just like a regular cake.

Step 8: To make the frosting, beat the butter, cheese, and sugar. Mix until well combined.

Step 9: At this point, toast the coconut in a lightly sprayed skillet. Make sure to keep tossing until golden. Or place it on a baking sheet, toast in the oven while frequently turning to ensure the coconut will not burn.

Step 10: Now, gently remove the cake from the pan and slice it into 24 squares once cooled. Top the cake with frosting and coconut. Do this while the cake is still in the pan. Enjoy!

NOTE:

I like thick frosting but if you want a frosting that is not very thick, add several tablespoons of milk, cream, or coconut milk.

Try putting the cake in the freezer as it comes out of the oven. This will make it moister but I’ve read that it is most true with cakes in general.

Two days ago, I was looking for a new and easy recipe that I can try for my best friend’s birthday and this one just got my attention instantly!

The flavors in this Chicken Salad Sandwich will blow your minds out! Growing up, I always bring a sandwich in school. It is pretty much what I always eat as a kid. I know that this really simple but I just feel proud that I was able to make it from scratch!  The creaminess of the sauce and the chicken are the best thing about this recipe. Be very generous with the chicken if you want a full-packed sandwich! I only listed 1 can but feel free to add more. This serves 2ito 3 people so if you are making for at least 10, just add more of the ingredients. I can’t wait for you to try it. Just follow these steps and you are in for a treat. Enjoy!
