1 c light cream


2 chicken bouillon cubes

2 4 oz. cans diced green chili's


1 clove garlic, crushed


1 16 oz. can tomato puree


2 c chopped cubed chicken


1/2 t salt


dash pepper


1/2 lb. shredded cheddar cheese


Make Red Chili Sauce. Keep warm. Heat oven to 350F.Heat 1/2 inch salad oil in small skillet until hot. Fry tortillas, one at a time, 15 seconds on each side. Do not allow them to become crisp. Drain. In small saucepan, heat cream with bouillon cubes. Make filling. In 2 T hot oil in large skillet, saute onion until tender- about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except cheese; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Dip each tortilla into cream mixture. Top each with a heaping tablespoon of filling; roll up. Place, seam side down, in greased 3 qt. shallow baking dish. Pour red chili sauce over tortillas; sprinkle with cheese. Bake uncovered 15 minutes. I like adding shredded lettuce with sliced black olives and diced tomatoes to the top after is cooked. This is great with ground beef as well. Use ground round and beef bouillon in place of the chicken. Enjoy.In search for some good recipes?

Creamy Chicken Pasta With Spinach And Tomatoes Recipe


Child Magazine





2 cups uncooked bow tie pasta


4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts


1 10 3/4 oz. can chicken broth


1 9 oz pkg. cream cheese (I used the light kind)


1 9 oz pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained


1 tsp. garlic, chopped


1 tsp. salt


1 tsp. pepper


15 cherry tomatoes, cut in half or 1 can petite diced tomatoes


1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, optional





In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil, then cook pasta according to the directions on box.





Slice chicken breasts into approximately 1'; cubes. In a large skillet, heat half the can of chicken broth and chicken cubes, turning pieces with a slotted spatula for 5 to 7 minutes until chicken is no longer pink.





Add cream cheese, spinach, remaining half can of chicken broth, garlic, salt and pepper. Heat for about 3 to 5 minutes, until cream cheese has melted. Add cherry tomato halves and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until tomatoes are soft.





Toss the drained pasta with chicken and vegetable mixture. If desired, sprinkle this dish with parmesan cheese, according to taste.











Chicken and Dumplings.








Put 8 pieces of chicken in a large stock pot. Add just enough water to cover. Bring to boil, turn back heat and simmer, covered for 45 minutes. When done, take chicken off bone. Set aside. To the chicken broth you just made in the pot, add 2 cans of chicken broth (or use boullion cubes) and 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, salt and pepper, little sage, grated onion and 2 small stalks of grated celery, and the chicken you took off the bone ( you might only need to use half of it, and use the rest in another meal like a casserole ). Bring slowly to a boil, stirring frequently, and when boiling, add frozen dumplings or flour tortillas(less expensive) cut into strips and like dumplings. Dont over stir them. Let them cook for 5 minutes. There should be enough leftovers for another meal too.

Well chicken tastes very exotic with ground jam and with a sprinkling of dandruff. As for tuna, add in a little washing-up liquid apple flavour is my favourite.

pasta with olives and tuna





1 pound spaghetti or other pasta


2 tablespoons olive oil


1 small onion, diced


2 cloves of garlic, minced


1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper


2 anchovies, minced (optional)


1/4 cup italian parsley, chopped


1 tablespoon tomato paste


2 6 ounce cans of tuna packed in oil, lightly drained


1/2 cup coarsely chopped kalamata olives


1 tablespoon capers


1 tomato chopped (optional)











1. Bring 4 quarts of well-salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain thoroughly, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Set the pasta aside in a warm place.


2. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pan. Add the onion and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until the onion is softened. Add the garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and anchovies and cook for another minute. Add about 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the parsley and tomato paste and stir to dissolve the tomato paste. Add another 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water. Cover and simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop, adding more pasta cooking water if it becomes too dry.


3. Remove the tuna from the can and break apart into bite-sized pieces. Add the tuna, olives, and capers to the sauce along with the pasta and enough of the pasta cooking water to allow the sauce to coat the noodles but without being too watery. Stir to reheat the pasta and coat it evenly in the sauce. Season with salt if necessary. Serve garnished with additional chopped parsley or cut tomatoes.
