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!!!!

Jennifer

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.

What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days.
