Although the holidays made at home meals a bit more challenging this month, I still managed to introduce a few and this one…. A HUGE WINNER! Especially for this pregnant mama. I dont know if you can tell but this growing baby girl of mine loves creamy dinners. I mean who doesn’t? And trust me, I am not complaining one bit!

So with that, take a look below and remember if you want other recipes to try, be sure to sign up for my newsletter here where I always include one exclusive recipe for subscribers only. You won’t want to miss out!

What You’ll Need:

• 1 Rotisserie Chicken with meat off bone OR 2 boneless/skinless chicken breast (shredded)
• 7 oz sour cream
• 8 oz Monterey Jack Cheese
• 12 oz frozen peppers, onions (feel free to add in any other veggies or fresh veggies if you want)
• 7oz Diced Green Chiles
• 8 soft taco size flour tortillas
• 1.2-1 cups chicken broth (you don’t want it to be watery but you do want it to loosen up the sour cream)
• 2 tbsp chilli powder
• 2 tbsp cumin
• mined garlic 2 TBSP (I usually eyeball the amount I put in but you can play around with us depending on how much you love garlic)
• OPTIONAL: Cilantro to garnish. I hate cilantro so I passed on that part but you can totally add that in

What to Do:

• pre heat oven to 400
• on stovetop, sauté chicken, green chilis, frozen peppers, cumin and chili and I along with 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. If your chicken was being stored in the fridge before use and is cold, I like to use a little chicken broth to help it cook down and shred better.
• Add 2-4oz of Monterey Jack cheese to chicken once everything is combined.
• In soft tortillas, place desired amount of chicken mixture. You will want to roll these up so make sure the amount you place it doesn’t overflow. Once rolled up, put in 9×13 baking dish
• Mix together sour cream, remaining cheese, 1 tbsp garlic, chicken broth in separate bowl and then pour over rolled up tortillas
• Place in oven for 25 minutes
• Serve and eat your face off!

NUTRITION: Not putting it this time because I have no clue plus it all depends on how you want to make it. Bring down the carbs by omitting the rice or up the fat by using whole fat cheese. Its all up to you. Just remember, you are allowed to enjoy food and one decadent meal won’t ruin you 🙂 

Anyone else love anything creamy? Well if so, keep reading because this recipe was fast, simple, and oh so yummy!With another month of dinner rut rehab meals behind me, I  managed to make this new favorite for Kev and I. As for the kids, ehh they are picky AF so I tried but nope. One day hopefully but until then, Mac & cheese it is.

Have you heard the news over on instagram? This hungry and pregnant mama is sick and tired of eating the same old meals and taking on a little challenge. Each week, I am aiming to pick 2 dinner inspirations, have you all weigh in and vote, and then go from there to create a meal and share it with you.

But here is the thing: I am no chef and I am not one for following recipes. These could totally end up sucking but either way you’ll end up hearing about it. As the title says, its a “Dinner Rut Rehab.” Time to kick myself out of my comfort zone and try something new. I’m excited about it and I think you should be too because after a few recent successes, I have a feeling we might make magic.

So lets see, our first meal that was voted on by you all over on Instagram was this creamy chicken dish. This was the original recipe I used as inspiration. As you will see, it looks delicious. But I wanted to make a few things. For starters, I wanted to use my crock pot. Why? Because as a mom whose kids have a witching hour right around dinner time, having a meal sit and stay warm and be ready to serve the moment Kev walks in the door, is an automatic win. Secondly, I am currently having a mushroom and cream moment. Call it a pregnancy thing or not, but I wanted to add in some baby Bellas. And then lastly, I wanted to make this somewhat healthy but not skip out on the creamy. So I figured I would add in some feta cheese.

What You’ll Need:

• 2 Rotisserie Chickens- meat off bone OR 4 boneless/skinless chicken breast
• 1 8.5oz jar of Sundried Tomatoes- drain from oil
• 2 tbsp oregano
• 2 tbsp minced garlic (feel free to add more if you want)
• 1 Yellow Onion chopped
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms (I used baby Bella)
• 2 giant handfuls of fresh spinach but again you can add however much you want
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 1 cup feta cheese

What to Do:

• Separately on the stove, combine mushrooms, onion and garlic with a little olive oil and sauté until browned. This should take no more then 5 minutes
• Take sautéed veggies, and add to crockpot and combine with all other ingredients listed above.
• Set on low and let sit for 4-6 hours.
• If you used a rotisserie chicken, you can shred this pretty quickly. But if you use raw chicken breast, you will want to wait until cooked through and can be easily shredded.
• Whenever you are hungry, eat that food! And hey, if you want a little something extra, try this over some egg noodles. You won’t be disappointed.

Nutrition Facts: These were calculated using 4 chicken breasts instead of rotisserie but I’d imagine it would be very similar. I am also guessing that this can feed 6 to 8 people.

Anyway, I told you it is EASY! I am so excited to have found a new go-to meal for my family and can’t wait for you all to try it. Be sure to let me know if you do and if you aren’t already, be sure to follow me over on Instagram for more life adventures, yummy meals, and more!
