Watch our Premier show all over again.....Sept. 2011

Welcome to the big premiere of Cooking for the Boys LIVE!
Since we are starting our show on Sept. 14th, three days after the 10 year anniversary of the attacks on the United States simply known as 9/11 and two days before the Mexican holiday of 16 de Septiembre, I have decided to go with a Southwest staple that embodies both countries.



Enjoy!
Green Chili Chicken
Enchiladas
Enjoy! You need a oven save dish for this casserole and please pre-boil your chicken if you are going to cook along with me.
I have included my recipe so you can follow along, work along side me or just watch and then make it yourself at your convenience.
Ingredients:
Corn Tortillas-- (I prefer yellow corn but it does not matter)
Chicken, (boiled, boned and skinned) or canned Chicken
Cream of Mushroom
Cream of Chicken
Cheese, (shredded mix, your choice)
Green Chilies, (can or fresh if you know how to skin them)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Preparation:
Pre-Heat Oven to 350 degrees
Boil Chicken and de-bone it (or use the frozen boneless,skinless chicken breasts for ease), cut it into small dice.
In a mixing bowl, add Chicken, Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Chicken and Green
Chili, mix together.
In an Oven safe dish, place a layer of Corn Tortillas (if they are not fresh then run them through hot water to make them pliable). Then add a layer of the Chicken and Sauce mix. Top that layer with Shredded Cheese.
Repeat the Process until dish is full or you are tired, which ever comes first..
Place the dish into the preheated oven. Since all ingredients are pre-cooked, you should only leave it in there for 15 – 20 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted.
Serve with your choice of sides……ENJOY
