Same Few Ingredients - 3 great dishes!

Last week I had an obsession. It was Tomatillos, Green Chilies, Chicken, and Cream Cheese. I got to experimenting and came up with three amazing dishes using these 4 ingredients. The creations were green chicken enchiladas, soup and quiche. All of which were amazingly good! I have included a few pictures and the recipes. As usual, these recipes are so simple.

Green Chicken Enchiladas

4 Chicken Breasts (cut into bite size pieces)
1 Chopped Onion
1 Can Crushed Tomatillos
1 Small Can Chopped Green Chilies
8 oz Cream Cheese
Corn Tortillas
Grated Cheese
Fresh Cilantro
Green Onion

Brown the chicken and onion in a deep skillet with a small amount of olive oil. Add Tomatillos, Green Chilies, Salt and Pepper. Once bubbling hot, add cream cheese. Mix until melted and turn off heat. In casserole dish, put a small amount of juice from chicken mixture in bottom of dish. Start by layering tortillas, cheese and chicken mixture until all chicken has been used. Top with a final layer of tortilla and cheese. Then bake at 350° until cheese is brown and bubbly. Remove from oven and top with chopped cilantro and green onion.





Green Chicken Soup

4 Chicken Breasts (cut into bite size pieces)
1 Chopped Onion
1 Can Crushed Tomatillos
1 Small Can Chopped Green Chilies
8 oz Cream Cheese
2 Large Cans Chicken Broth
Grated Cheese
Fresh Cilantro
Green Onion

Brown the chicken and onion in a deep skillet with a small amount of olive oil. Add Tomatillos, Green Chilies, Salt and Pepper. Once bubbling hot, add cream cheese. Mix until melted. Add Chicken Broth and bring to a simmer. Serve with grated cheese, chopped cilantro and green onion. Great with Poppy's homemade sourdough bread.


Green Chicken Quiche

Take the left over soup and mix in the left over chopped cilantro, green onion and grated cheese. Add 3 eggs per cup of left over mix. Pour into pie crust and bake at 350° until firm and brown on top. As everyone knows, I don't eat many left overs so I love to create an entirely new meal from the left over ingredients from the night before.
