Green Enchilada Tostadas

Here is dinner tonight! It's delicious!

4 chicken breasts
2 small cans green enchilada sauce
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 - 1 C sour cream (I used 1 C)
corn tortillas (or tostadas)
2-3 T veggie oil (if frying your tortillas)
Toppings: Cheddar cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro

Place the chicken in your crock pot (can place frozen in, add time for cooking). Pour enchilada sauce on top. Add the onion and cover. Cook on high for 4 hours or until chicken is cooked thru and fork tender. Turn crockpot to warm, then stir in the sour cream.
If you don't use tostadas, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Fry tortillas one by one until they are crisy. Drain on paper towel. To serve, place chicken mixture on crispy tortilla then add your favorite toppings.
The chicken is kindof runny, so I a put refried beans on teh tostadas first so they wouldnt become soggy. VERY delicous....8 out of 8 thumbs up in our house!
8 - 4 oz servings

4 oz chicken = 188 calories, 2.5 g fat, 10.1 g carbs, 0.7 g fiber, 3.5 g sugar, 29.6 g protein. (this does not include the tostada or toppings)

Crock Pot Chinese Cashew Chicken

So this is what we are eating for dinner tonight. I have sampled it already and I can't imagine it tasting better! YUM! I doubled it and it made quite a bit! Filled my crock pot up. Here is the single recipe:

4 C cooked diced chicken
2 C celery
2 cans 97% fat free cream of mushroom soup
1 C chopped green onions
1 stick margarine
2 T soy sauce
8 oz sliced mushrooms, drained
2 C whole cashews
hot cooked rice

Combine chicken, soups, celery, onions, mushrooms, butter & soy sauce in crock pot. Mix well. Cook on LOW 4-6 hours or HIGH 2-3 hours.
Stir in cashews just before serving. Serve over rice.

I am actually not going to put the cashews in. I will sprinkle on after serving. That way I can control how much I get. They are MEGA numbers! Serves 8

1 serving (about 1 C minus cashews): 262 calories, 8.6 g fat, 7.3 g carbs, 1.5 g fiber, 0.6 g sugar, 37.3 g protein

3 T cashews: 148.1 calories, 12 g fat (mostly mono...so good one), 8.4 g carbs, 0.8 g fiber, 1.3 g sugar, 3.9 g protein

Happy Eating!
