Had a hankering for some Mexican food, so we picked up some boneless, skinless chicken thighs at the store and Judy had a recipe for enchiladas.

I just took a photo of the recipe because you can see she has a lot of handwritten notes on it. I just thought it would be easier to do it this way instead of trying to re-write the whole recipe.

Here is the recipe.


I bought more chicken than we needed for this recipe, & plan on using the extra pieces for some chicken salad.


Cut up some celery, onions, & carrots & put them in a throwaway pan.


Added some homemade chicken broth that we had in the freezer.


In go the thighs.


Dusted them with a little fajita seasoning. And into the Lang running at 225.


They took about 4 hours to hit 170.


Chopped up some green onions, jalapenos, & garlic.


Strained the pan juice.


Make a roux with the butter & flour, then add the broth with the garlic, jalapenos, & green onion.


Next shred up the chicken.



We had some leftover rice so we added it to the cheese & chicken mix.


Rolled up the enchiladas.



And into a pan.


The sauce is almost ready.


Just add the sour cream.


Mix it up.


And pour it over the enchiladas with a little more cheese & some green onions.


Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes.


Let it rest for a few minutes, then try to find the enchiladas in all that cheesy goodness.


Got 2 out for me & added a little taco sauce to give it a kick!


We have a bunch leftover, so I guess it's enchiladas for dinner tonight too!

Thanks for looking guys!

Definitely point worthy. I love doing enchiladas with the leftovers from my chicken tacos. I think enchiladas probably evolved as a meal made with leftovers. I like to dice up some chipotle in adobo and add to the filling. Looks great!

I'm on a friggin' calorie counting program (not WW).  Doc says "lose weight or die' (my interpretation of a bunch of big words).  I could taste those enchiladas Al, and the thought of how they taste just filled me up!  Oh so point worthy.

Those look fantastic Al.
I was almost daydreaming about how they'd taste.

Enchiladas, there's more than one way to skin that cat.

Good lord Al. Those look fantastic!!

I can sure see why you just added a pic of Miss Judy's recipe--rewriting that would be a whole new post LOL.

Funny. I was thinking about how you'd find them in the sauce and then you pretty much said the same thing.

How much of the fat rendered down on the thighs. I hate chicken fat so just wondering how much trimming I should do.

POINTS FOR SURE!!!

Thanks Gary!

I didn't trim anything off of them, all the fat rendered out.

I just took them out of the package & put them in the pan.
