I have printed this recipe and i'm going to try. It sounds wonderful. Thanks
ReplyDeleteDiana, It is really good, we loved it.
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by.
hey there....I can truly say that you can shave about 30% off your grocery budget if you will follow this amazing advice...this is what I teach my clients as well of course I learned it at the Kitchen Table with my MOM, it is funny because often times without knowing it we will fix the same meal on the same day...:)
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing!!!! I'm gonna have to try it sometime.
ReplyDeleteLove you...Brenda
Yum! I still haven't tried your green chili/orange juice combo...I seem to lean toward lemon, rosemary, and thyme with the occasional addition of dijon mustard. I'll have to give this a go. Just bought a bunch of hatch chilis to roast and freeze. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Slightly Indulgent Tuesdays!
The menu reminds me of all the ones you created while I was living at home. Each night always a beautiful meal. Wish more of it had rubbed off me. :)
ReplyDeleteLove you,
Brenda
Yum - I'm definitely going to have to try something like this. Hatch chiles are in abundance right now!
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, Just found your blog. I am somewhat of a dingleberry in the kitchen. So, I am wondering where you can buy a can of hatch chillis? Thanks, Tracy
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy,
ReplyDeleteLook in the Mexican Food Section of your Grocery Store. If you can't find the Hatch brand where you live, Old El Paso, or any other brand that carries Green Chili Enchilada Sauce will be fine.
If you can't find it at all, just let me know and I will tell you how to make it with green chilies.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hello Miss Helen, I'm going to the store to buy the ingredients for the Green Chili Enchilada dinner and get it going in the crock pot. My husband comes home from business travel this evening and I want to do something special for him and he LOVES chicken thighs!
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous and Husband loving Chicken Thighs:
ReplyDeleteHope your evening is everything you hope it will be! Let me know how your dinner turns out.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Miz Helen. it's Laurie (anonymous person with husband that loves chicken thighs). I am very excited that my Green Chili Enchilada dinner was a big hit! While rice is the obvious side for this dish, my kids prefer potatoes so I made some mashed potatoes to go with it. The sauce was actually pretty good with it. The only thing I did wrong was I used thighs with skin on which made the sauce a little greasy. I took the skin off for presentation and serving. My husband commented that he would love it if I made this every week!
ReplyDeleteWell at another closer look the photo of your dish looks like the thighs have skin-on....guess I got it right after all!
