    Recipe Introduction


    I haven't made this yet, but I am kind of questioning just 2 chicken breasts for 3 different dinners. I will probably add more chicken just to be sure. Maybe they meant 2 whole chickens?? Recipe states 2 to 4 servings as written.

    List of Ingredients




    2 large chicken breasts (or equivalent)
    1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapenos (or Green Chilies)
    1 (7 3/4 ounce) can el pato jalapeno salsa
    1 (3 3/4 ounce) can el pato tomato sauce
    1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
    1 (16 ounce) can black beans with jalapenos and lime juice
    1 (8 ounce) package neufchatel cheese
    1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
    1 (16 ounce) can enchilada sauce
    tortillas

    Recipe



    Sunday: Cooking the Chicken
    In a big, oval crock-pot layer chicken and canned tomatoes.
    Add 1-cup water.
    Set crock-pot to low, cover and cook for 5 hours till tender.
    Remove from crock-pot, cover and refrigerate.

    Monday: Eat leftovers from Sunday or go out to dinner!

    Monday Night/Tuesday: Chicken Chili.
    Shred the chicken breasts using two forks (get help, it will go faster with more hands).
    In your very same big, oval crock-pot place all of the shredded chicken. Open and dump in the following: all of the El Pato (2 cans) and all of the green chilies (1 can, more if you like spicy, less if you don't). Stir.
    Cover, turn crock-pot to low and go to work.
    Come home from work (approximately 8 hours later).
    In a small saucepan, heat the black beans.
    Microwave tortillas wrapped in moistened paper towels.
    Serve a large scoop of chicken, a scoop of black beans and a tortilla or two on each plate.
    Cover and refrigerate leftover chicken and beans.

    Wednesday: Smothered Burritos.
    In a medium saucepan warm leftover chicken and beans. Add 1 package Neufchatel cheese, stirring until melted.
    Pour salsa into mixture.
    Spray a 14x9 inch-baking pan with cooking spray.
    One at a time, fill 4 tortillas each with a quarter of the chicken mixture, roll and place in baking pan.
    Smother with enchilada sauce. Top with shredded cheese if you like.
    Bake @ 350 for 1/2 hour or until bubbly.
