Cooking with the Kiddos....

So we have recently started letting the kids be involved in cooking when its safe and they are interested. I am still REAL nervous about letting them be near the stove and oven, and about letting them use sharp utensils.... BUT nevertheless we have been cooking.

I took some pictures of our latest adventure, They LOVE Mommies Chicken Enchiladas and decided they want to know whats in them and how to make them.

So here it goes.... Starting with the Recipe:
You will need:



1 to 1 1/2 Pounds of Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breast
One 10 3/4 Ounce Can of Cream of Mushroom Soup
8 ounces of Sour Cream
One small can of Green Chilies
One can of sliced Black Olives
12 Small Corn Tortillas
2 Cups of Mexi Blend Cheese

I Preheat the oven to 375 degrees,
Then I pre-cut the chicken up into 1 inch squares and cooked it up as well, then dumped it in the bowl for the kids. And we pre-cut the tortillas into 1 inch strips as well (you can cut them as small or large as you like as long as they are cut up it will work for the casserole style dish)

Then it was time for them to get to mix it all up:
Luckily it doesnt have to be mixed in any particular order so this is easy for them to do.





Mix it through real good, make sure the tortillas are covered in the gooey mixture, Now its time to pour it in the Casserole Dish (Or 13x9 Pan, whichever you have):



Spread it out evenly:



Top it with Cheese:



Voila, Its Ready for the Oven (375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until its bubbly):



Enjoying the fruits of our labors:
(Add Refried Beans and Mexican Rice to the side and you have a nice Mexican meal; You can also top it with chopped tomatoes in the last 5 minutes of cooking, that makes it real yummy too, We just didnt have any tomatoes this time)



Two thumbs up from the kiddos:



On to the next adventure!!!!
