Twisted A1 Cherry Chicken Enchiladas A1 Food

WALNUT CRUSTED CHERRY CHICKEN #A1

Steps:

• Bring a propane grill to 450 degrees.
• Add the first seven ingredients to a food processor and pulsate until walnuts are coarse. Rub oil and the seasoning blend on all sides of the chicken including under the skin. Lower the heat of the grill to 425 and grill the chicken until an internal temperature of 165 degrees is reached or until juices run clear. Remove and cover to keep warm.
• While the chicken cooks, cover cherries in water and boil for 8 minutes. Strain the cherries, reserving half of the water plus 3 tablespoons of the cherry water. If the cherries have pits remove them now. Add the cherries and the water back to the pan, reserving the 3 tablespoons of cherry water for later. Add the sugar, A.1., mustard, agave, fig jelly, and jalapeno jelly to the cherries and bring to a rapid boil for 5 minutes. To the same food processor used prior, add the reserved cherry water and the cherry mixture. Pulsate until well blended.
• Pour the cherry sauce over the chicken, top with a mint sprig and serve.
• Note: The chicken and sauce pair well with mashed potatoes, quinoa or a kale salad.

TWISTED A.1. CHERRY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS #A1

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Liberally coat a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.
• Place oil in medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Add cherries, 1/2 cup onion, and chili powder to pan with oil. Cook, stirring constantly, until onions have softened and cherries have begun to release their juices, approximately 2-3 minutes. Turn heat down to medium-low. Pour enchilada sauce into pan with cherry mixture, stirring to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce begins to simmer. Sprinkle chocolate in pan with sauce, stirring until chocolate melts and sauce is uniform. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together shredded chicken and A.1 sauce. Add remaining 1/2 cup onion, salt, pepper, garlic, sour cream, cream cheese, 1 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese to bowl. Stir vigorously until combined.
• Pour 1/4 cup enchilada sauce on bottom of prepared pan to coat. Place several tablespoons chicken mixture in the center of one corn tortilla, rolling around filling and placing in pan, seam-side down. Repeat until all 16 tortillas have been filled and rolled, and pan is full. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas, covering evenly.
• Sprinkle enchiladas with remaining cheeses. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil and place in oven for 35-40 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle tomatoes over enchiladas. Return to oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly. Remove from heat and let sit 10 minutes before serving. Serves 8.

SIMPLE PERFECT ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the canola oil and flour. Whisk together and allow to bubble for 1 minute. Pour in the red sauce, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
• While the sauce is simmering, brown the ground beef with the onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the fat, add the salt and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, heat some canola oil. Lightly fry the tortillas just until soft. Do not crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all the tortillas have been fried.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Next, one at a time, dip each tortilla into the sauce. Set the sauce-soaked tortilla on a plate. Place on some of the meat mixture, chilies, green onions and black olives. Top with a generous portion of grated Cheddar. Roll up the tortilla to contain the filling inside.
• Place the tortilla seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and pour the remaining sauce over the top. End with a generous sprinkling of cheese and any other bits of chiles, green onions or olives you have left over from the filling.
• Bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes, or until bubbly. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in your largest pan, then fry the onions, peppers, chopped chilli and coriander stalks with half the garlic for 10 mins until soft. Stir in 2 tsp ground coriander and 2 tsp cumin seeds, then fry for 1 min more. Meanwhile, in another frying pan, fry the chicken in the remaining oil, in batches, until browned - add it to the pan of veg as it is done.
• Stir the beans, sweetcorn, coriander leaves and 150ml of the passata into the veg and chicken. In a bowl, mix the rest of the passata with the other crushed garlic clove, the remaining spices and the sugar, then set aside.
• To assemble, lay the tortillas onto a board and divide the chicken mixture between them, folding over the ends and rolling up to seal. Divide the passata sauce into the dishes you are using, then top with the enchiladas. Dot over the soured cream, sprinkle with grated cheese and scatter with the sliced chilli.
• Cool and freeze (see freezing tips, below) or, if eating straight away, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, then bake for 30 mins, scattering with more coriander leaves to serve, if you like.
