Cooking for a picky eater can get frustrating. During the week is my time to experiment with a new recipe or two, and use ingredients that my husband doesn't eat (like cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, spicy foods, vegetables...ah, the list goes on).
This week I decided on Creamy Chicken Enchiladas from Recipegirl.com. Since it was just myself eating it for the week, I made half the recipe and baked it in a 8" x 8" pan. I used the full amounts for the sauce component as I was paranoid of it being too dry. Overall I thought it was delicious and a nice change from my standard enchiladas that I use a red sauce for. Next time I would add some sliced pickled jalapenos in with the chicken mixture for some extra heat.
