VitaClay Rescues Dinner with Chicken Enchilada Delight!

Need an easy, delicious, fast idea for dinner as we begin another new school year and  get back to our lives “as usual?”

Casseroles are a breeze in VitaClay, and unlike conventional slow cookers, the texture and shape holds up really well. This chicken enchilada delight is great when made in clay: the tortillas don’t get soggy, and the ingredients stay layered and taste amazing! Plus, did you hear about our new and improved high-fired clay pots, that are super durable and strong?

Check it out! Keep in mind, all new VitaClay multi-cookers now come with these newly-designed clay pots, or you can order replacement pots on our website, all of which are now stronger, high-fired pots at the same great price!

Ingredients:

• 2 lb shredded chicken (leftovers from a roasted or rotisserie chicken work great)
• 14-16 oz enchilada sauce (make your own!)
• 1/4 c broth
• 20 oz cream of mushroom soup (did you know you can make this in VitaClay too?)
• 5-7 oz black olives, sliced
• 2 dozen corn tortillas (organic is best to avoid GMO corn)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• About 8 oz shredded cheese (might want to shred it yourself)

Directions:  

1. Cut the tortillas into wedges and set aside
2. Combine the soup, olives and onions in a mixing bowl and stir it up!
3. Add the broth to the bottom of the pot
4. Begin layering the clay pot with enchilada sauce on the bottom
5. Add tortillas, soup, chicken and cheese
6. Make a few more layers in that order, and top it all off with a lot of cheese
7. Cover it, close up the pot and set to “stew,” cooking for about 40 minutes to an hour
8. Served it up in shallow bowls and top with sour cream, guacamole and/or cilantro!
