What's for Dinner and School Lunch Week of 11/10
My middle son is at a school trip all week. My older son and my preschooler have one day off from school this week… I have a moms dinner one night and a friends birthday party another night….so this is a wacky week again, but here we go!
Dinner for 2 adults (most nights), 2 kids (since one is on a class trip). Most recipes are gluten free.
Monday
Easy chicken enchiladas: roast green tomatillos and some onion and them blend thoroughly to make the tomatillo sauce. While roasting, boil the chicken and, when it is full cooked, remove from water and shred. mix shredded chicken with 1/3 of the tomatillo sauce and place inside of corn torillas, rolling them up like a flute. place them tightly rolled up (make sure tortillas are warm to avoid breaking) one next to the the in an oven safe pyrex. Depending on the size of your pyrex you might fit 6-8. top with more tomatillo sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese and place in oven until cheese is melted.
