Mexican Style Shredded Chicken and Jalapeno Dressing

April 19, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hi Everyone,

So happy that today is my last day of work!  I can’t wait for a 3 day weekend!!  Big plans for the upcoming weekend?  I do know, I would like to take a hike, do some shopping and hit up the Farmers Market on Saturday morning and maybe even treat myself to breakfast.  But than again, I do like making breakfast, it’s my favorite meal of the day!!!  So I may skip going out and create my own fun breakfast.

Tonight’s recipe is a GOOD one!!  I made this Tuesday night with anticipation on using the leftovers for dinner on Wednesday.  Mmmm, just look at this Mexican goodness.

I woke up Tuesday morning with the craving of Mexican food, which is not a surprise.   Mexican food is one kind of meal I can never ever get sick of.  Pass the chips and salsa please!  Oh and I’ll take a Skinny Margarita too!!


I put this all together using the good old crockpot.  It’s not spicy chicken, for those in my family that don’t care for the heat of a pepper (their crazy!).  But the dressing, oh the dressing is pure jalapeno heaven.  The dressing is going to make an appearance several times on my blog.  I think I am in love.  Can you be in love with salad dressing?  Because I think I am.  It is by far the best dressing I have ever made.  I can just taste it right now.

The dressing is made with half a jalapeno, garlic, onion, greek yogurt, mayonnaise and milk.  It is thick, creamy and just enough spice not to be over whelming.  It will go great on tacos, salads, veggies and maybe even dipping chips in it.  I can also see it on barbecue chicken and hamburgers.  If you love a creamy jalapeno dressing than you have to try this recipe.  It’s so mouth-watering good!!!

The shredded chicken is made with chicken of course, tomatoes, frozen peppers, diced chili’s, taco seasoning and chicken broth.  Since I have quite a bit left over I plan on topping it on pizza and maybe just maybe make them in Wonton Wrappers.  You can make this chicken spicy just by adding some jalapenos or spicy seasoning.  You could also add cheese into the dish.  I debated about it, but held off because I didn’t know if I would have leftovers to use.  You can always add cheese to it afterwards.

Ok, after looking at these pictures, I have to go make dinner.  I am hungry just thinking about shredded chicken and jalapeno dressing.  I think I may even scoop a few spoonfuls of dressing in my mouth.  Yah, it’s just that good!!  One thing I will tell you about it, is that it tastes refreshing and light, even though it’s creamy and thick.  Weird to have a combination like that!

So tonight I decided to bake my corn tortillas, add the chicken with some jalapenos and cheese and then bake it for 10 minutes on a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes until it’s crispy and the cheese has melted.  Than I’m going to top with Jalapeno Dressing.  Now the waiting game.  I hate waiting for dinner to cook when your hungry!!  Don’t you!!

Finally it’s done!  Here’s a picture of my left over dinner.  It’s so good and this one is spicy!!

Well time to go!  Have a Super Duper Thursday!!!!  Time for me to eat!!!!

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that.

I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.
🌼
Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.

I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Here are the sources for my tiered tray:

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off.

Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area.

What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces.

The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
