Creamy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas

I love me some good Mexican food... mmm... but when I make chicken enchiladas at home, I don't want to mess with using flour or making a "roux" or any of that stuff! I just want to mix and make! {which is why I've always made beef enchiladas... so much easier!} But I found this recipe, and it is YUMMMMY!

Creamy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups cooked & shredded chicken
1 can cream of chicken soup {I used fat free}
1 cup sour cream {I used light}
1 can ROTEL
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
6 flour tortillas

INGREDIENTS:
[1] Mix chicken, soup, sour cream, and ROTEL.
[2] Fill each tortilla with 3 tbsp of mixture & a handful of cheddar cheese.
[3] Roll up tightly and put seam side down.
[4] Top tortillas with remaining mixture & mozzarella.
[5] Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes until cheesy & bubbly.

{I sprinkled mine with paprika and cayenne pepper for a little kick.
Next time I might add some cilantro for freshness..... YUMMY!}

Quick Balsamic Chicken

I am so on a balsamic kick right now. Ever since my hubby took me to Buca di Beppo for a date and they served that amazing bread with the best olive oil & balsamic vinegar ever...... yeah, can't get enough!

I found this chicken recipe online, made it, and used the chicken to top salad. Oh my goodness, I have a new favorite! And it couldn't be easier. Here goes:

[4] Enjoy! Kent sure did. :)
