White Chicken Enchiladas

White Chicken Enchilidas


1 lb. of chicken breast cooked and cut into small pieces

Then add:

1 pkg. of light cream cheese

1 small can diced green chilies

sliced olives

Let that melt together then put a small helping into whole wheat tortillas (makes about 6-7). Place in a sprayed pan and top with 1 Large can of Green Enchilada sauce. Then spread shredded cheese over the top.

Cook on 375 for about 25 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce starts boiling!


This dish requires very few ingredients and taste great. I used fat-free cream cheese and it still was delicious. I also cooked the chicken with the green chillies in the crock pot, then added the cream cheese in the end. Perfect dish to serve with Spanish Rice, refried or black beans, and corn.

Healthy Warm Apple Crisp

June 19, 2007 — fitnesspro


2 cups peeled, cored and thinly sliced apples, such as Granny Smiths

2 tbsp sugar, or to taste (I just put a little brown sugar with the apples instead)

1/4 cup apple juice

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

2 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp ground cinnamon

pinch of nutmeg

oat topping ingredients:

1/2 cup walnuts or almonds, finely chopped (Roasted/Salted Almonds were delicious)

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

2 tbsp softened unsalted butter

Preheat the oven to 350. Coat an 8-inch square shallow baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, toss together the apples, sugar, apple juice, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Set aside.

Make the oatmeal topping: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, gently combine the walnuts or almonds, oats, brown sugar, flour, and butter at low speed.

Place the apple mixture in the dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the apples are cooked through, the juices are bubbling, and the topping is browned. Serve, hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Very tasty and a little more healthy than the usual apple cobbler =)

This recipe was okay. The meat was nice and tender. Michael did not like how thick it was. I think i will try a different recipe next time, something with a little more flavor.
