Crock pot chicken enchiladas
2011
This is the first time I’ve made enchiladas this way, and I think I’ll make them this way again they were so good! I started with 4 frozen chicken breasts (boneless and skinless), an enchilada sauce packet, mixed with a can of tomato sauce. Cook on low all day.
When I got home from work, I took the chicken out, it was super tender and shredded easily. Take a tortilla, fill it with the shredded chicken (for my 2, I weighed out 2 oz. of chicken each). Roll up and place seam side down in a 9×13 inch casserole dish.
I actually poured all the sauce leftover from the crock pot over the enchiladas and sprinkled with cheese. Bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees. YUM!!

Food find. Most of you know I love to save money at the grocery store and I frequently shop at Aldi Foods. Imagine my surprise when I saw that their brand “Millville” now makes Kashi look alike cereals for half the price of Kashi! This box was only $2.49.
It tastes exactly like Kashi and has the same nutritional info: 190 calories per serving and 8 grams of fiber.
Also, I’d like share a site that is relatively new to me, but I’ve been enjoying reading. Tiffany from The Gracious Pantry has lost 50 pounds so far and has a great blog about eating clean as well as great recipes. Tiffany you are a great inspiration to many!
What weekend plans do you have? It’s going to be another chilly weekend in Chicago. I had to drop my son Mark off at school today at 5:30 a.m to go on his 7th grade trip to Springfield – he’ll be gone until 9:30 tonight – I’m sure he’ll have a great day!

Springfield? Is he going to the land of the Simpsons?!?
Your enchiladas look good. I rarely make them but LOVE them so much – I always think of them as labor intensive, but your recipe sounds pretty simple – yay!
I’ve decided that Texas is home of cheap cereal, after having been in Oregon recently (and based on what you just wrote) – our Kashi GoLean Crunch is usually $2.78 – cheap, I know!
Thanks for the heads up on Tiffany’s blog – I’ll have to go check her out.

Hmmmm I ‘ve had enchiladas on the brain recently… this sounds like a super easy way to get them done! This might be a Sunday pick this week.
Cereal is outrageous where I live, usually around $3.99+ for a box. I buy some to keep on hand for when my nephew comes on Wednesdays and every time I do, I am so glad I don’t eat it.
Have a great weekend.

it probably IS kashi. We know ppl who work at aldi pretty high up the corporate ladder..and the private label stuff is usually made by a company that makes the higher priced stuff.
I need to try that enchilada recipe. sounds great!
Duuuuuude, those enchiladas look so good!! I also love my Aldi and buy most of my groceries there to save money. I saw that cereal but I just so rarely eat cereal that I’m still working on boxes that I bought months ago. I love they’re starting to sell healthier stuff-I was shocked to see they finally have light sour cream even! And whole wheat pasta. Woot!
Love this idea – the enchiladas look wonderful!!
