One Pan Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada Skillet

I often cook a whole chicken in the crockpot and give the dogs the broth (over several days). However, it's sometimes a challenge to use up the chicken meat and I have plenty stored up for winter stews. So, I simply typed "chicken" in the Pinterest search bar and found this awesome recipe. It's the herbs and spices that make this one such a delight. I didn't have green chiles or black olives, but I did have Rotel and since we don't eat black olives anyway, it was perfect. I also had 3 large flour tortillas that I cut up (instead of corn) and cooked some rice to add. The boys added fiesta cheese and Frank's Hot sauce to their bowls and gave it 2 thumbs up. :)

One Pot-Stove-Top Chicken and Rice

We spoil our animals and a prime example is our dogs. I have been making them up chicken or beef broth jars weekly. I put a whole chicken, or roast or whatever in a crockpot and fill it full of water and a few seasonings. Then put the broth in pint size mason jars and each dog gets a half a pint at breakfast and dinner which, one crockpot lasts about a week. Then I have shredded chicken or beef depending on the week. In another blog, I have a recipe for chicken salad, made especially good with the armenian cucumbers from our garden which has now become a staple in our fridge. This past week, I found the following recipe which took almost no effort to make because I used (already cooked) shredded chicken rather than the thighs; I also added onions and mushrooms.
