BLOG: Do You Pinterest?

Do you Pinterest?

I do.

Initially, I really didn't see what the appeal was, but then as I followed more and more people, I saw amazing things... amazing recipes! Even though I've been pinning recipes for months, it wasn't until this weekend that I actually tried a recipe that I had pinned.

The results? Delicious! The kind of delicious where your husband states that he could eat it that for dinner every single week! 

So...enjoy this recipe that I pinned, and adapted to make Weight Watchers friendly. using less cheese and sour cream and a little more sauce.

Chicken Enchilada Pasta
Makes 10 servings (about 1.5 cups each) at 8 Points+ each

3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken (how easy is that?) Costco = $5!
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
1 medium onion, diced
1 pepper diced, I used an orange one
4 oz can of diced green chilies
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
2 - 10 oz cans of green enchilada sauce - I used market pantry brand from Target
1 - 10 oz can of red enchilada sauce - again market pantry brand
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1 pound cooked penne pasta 

Toppings - all optional and not included in the Points+ value:
Avocado diced
Green Onions
Black Olives
Tomatoes
More Cheese
Sour Cream

In a really big skillet, heat the olive oil. Over medium heat add onions and cook 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper and cook another 3-5 minutes. 

Add chicken, green chilies, cumin, chili powder, salt, and enchilada sauces. Let sauce simmer for about 8-10 minutes.  

Add cheese and stir until melted. 

Add pasta and stir to combine (this is where you are going to wish you listened to me when I said REALLY BIG skillet)! 

Put on your plate and top with whatever toppings your heart desires... I did green onions, a tiny sprinkle of more cheese and a tablespoon of light sour cream. 

This recipe makes a ton so have some friends over, and eat up!
