Pablano Chicken Casserole

chicken Pablano chicken

My husband and I love this recipe.  I’m pretty sure it’s in the  top 3 list for my husband.  It’s also nice for those watching your carbs as it is very low carb.  I use a pretty hot homemade tomatillo enchilada sauce so I have to say it is a spicy dish.  We LOVE spicy food! Once again this recipe is very easy – the most time consuming part is peeling the peppers but once you get a hang of it, it’s simple.  ALSO I always double the recipe and freeze one for a later date. 



These are pablano peppers!


Ingredients clip_image001
  • 4 Pablano chili (right with the other peppers in the store)
  • 4 chicken breast
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 10 Oz Green Enchilada Sauce (if you prefer red that’s OK too)
  • 2 Cups Cheddar Cheese

Directions clip_image001[1]

Roast the Pablano chili on grill or under broiler until black on all sides, allow to cool and peel off black skin & remove stems.

Preheat oven to 400

In a large skillet heat oil over med-high and brown chicken breast on both sides. remove chicken and set aside. Add onion (sliced) to pan and brown, return chicken to pan with onions, season with pepper and chicken bullion. In the pan barely cover the chicken with water and boil until water is evaporated,(maybe 10-15 min, the chicken will be completely cooked by that time) then take out the chicken and chop the chicken into cubes,put back in the pan and add 1/2 cup of cheese - mix all together.

Lightly oil 9x13 glass baking dish

Slice open chilies and lay them flat in the dish and fill with chicken mixture. Next drizzle (pour) enchilada sauce over it and top with remaining cheese. Cover with foil and bake until bubbly and cheese is melted about 20 min. uncover and bake additional 10 min. allow to cool slightly slice and serve.

Make Large Canvas Wall Art Out of An Old Map

Image
One of my favorite things about thrift store decorating is finding something unexpected and giving it a new life. When I came across an old vintage map, I immediately saw the potential for unique wall art. Instead of leaving it tucked away, I cut it into sections and mounted it onto canvases to create a custom piece full of character and history. If you love decorating with vintage finds and creating budget-friendly home decor, this simple DIY project might inspire your next thrift store makeover. I had previously picked up an old slightly laminated MAP from the same thrift store for a few dollars. I began to wonder what I could do with my map???? Tick tock, tick tock, my creative juices were coming……. Ah Ha!  My son needed something on his wall in his room and since that is where I put the globe how about matching wall art!  I went to Michaels and picked up a bunch of canvases at 40% off.  I traced around the canvas and cut out each rectangle.  The ov...

Pottery Barn Knockoff–Distressed Clock Decor

Image
Ahhhhhh Pottery Barn.  The gorgeous pictures, the GIANT price tags.  If only we could re-create for less everything we see in that magazine.  Well today’s post will give that a try  – Pottery Barn for under $10.00.  Yep, that’s right, this next project cost me around 6 bucks.  When I was at the thrift store I spotted this lonely round board.  It was almost 2 feet around, insanely heavy and covered in laminate but I thought hummmm……this has some CLOCK potential!  So I bought it for a whopping $1.50. Here is the lovely BEFORE picture: And here is the AFTER: Now how I got there.  :-) First I distressed the plastic and wood by sawing the edges, hammering the center, and quickly sanding the entire circle.  I didn’t spend a lot of time doing this because I had another idea to help with the distressing which you’ll see in the next few steps. Next step was to figure out the best way for me to put on the Roman Numer...
