Late to the Party (as usual)

You probably already know this.

I've known it for a long time.

But I've never tried it.

I don't often make things with shredded chicken.

But tonight we are having the missionaries

over for dinner again.
One of our favorites is leaving tomorrow

to go back to Idaho.

We invited them over and asked them

what they wanted...

And he requested chicken enchilladas.

I've never made those before.

Obviously, I've never SPELLED that before.

LOL

But I have seen a THM recipe around

for about a year that everybody raves about.

So I said sure, and pulled out my

trusty iPad.

(It's on her blog)

I knew it would take quite a while to 

cook the chicken,

shred the chicken,

make the sauce,

assemble the enchiladas,

and then bake the thing.

So I did everything except bake them

yesterday.

I used my Pressure Cooker (my old one,

I haven't opened my new one yet...)

and did up a big package of 

skinless, boneless chicken breasts.

It was fast,

easy,

and they were SUPER tender!

(Bonus!  I got about a quart of chicken broth!)

Then I put them in my

regular mix master

(since I don't have a KitchenAid)

(which has been my excuse for not trying this sooner...)

(Yup, that's Rod in the background.)

(And we still have the giant map on the wall

showing all the places the guys made deliveries)

We could take it down since nobody

is driving anymore,

but honestly the missionaries get a kick

out of pointing out where they live.

Anyhow.

Back to the chicken.

I stuck it all in the bowl

and turned it on.

It literally took less than 30 seconds.

I let it run longer because it was FUN!

But it was done earlier.

Seriously!

This would have taken me forever

with 2 forks.

Well, to be perfectly honest,

I wouldn't have done it.

Which is why I never make recipes

with shredded chicken.

Shredding sounds like a pain in the neck.

But this is EASY!

And FAST!

And FUN!

Took longer to wash my bowl

than it did to shred my chicken!

(But I had to wash my bowl, cuz I used

it again to make a yummy THM friendly

chocolate cake...)

TRY IT!

YOU WILL LIKE IT!

(unless you've already been doing it for years

and you are sitting there snickering at my silliness...)
