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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
