Warm Up with Pasta e Fagioli
It is not hard to make, but you do have to chop a lot. You could cut this time down by buying already chopped vegetables, but that would cost more. Depends on how much time you have.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
I did not put the onions in this batch, since my stomach doesn't like them. You can change up the cheeses to suit what you like, these make a great combo.
I divided the chicken mixture among 6 flour tortillas, that is all I had on hand. I placed them in the dish with the seam side down.
Next I made the roux.
I added the sour cream and green chilies to the roux and poured it over the tortillas. Added the remaining cheese and baked it at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Yummy!

1 lb shredded chicken breast(can used a roasted chicken)

3. Roll enchiladas and place seam-side down in 9x13" baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
4. Melt butter in a medium saucepan; stir in flour to make a roux; stir and cook until bubbly; gradually whisk in chicken broth then bring to boiling, stirring frequently.
5. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and green chiles; pour sauce evenly over enchiladas.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

Operation Smile and Campus Book Rentals
As you may already know I am a retired college professor and between my husband and I we have 6 college graduates and several grandchildren who are nearing college age. As a parent and professor I was constantly reminded of the huge cost that students incur when buying their text books. If any of you are parents or even students, I’m sure you can relate. Well, for a nominal advertising fee I have been asked to endorse a program being offered by CampusBookRentals and I have agreed. This post was written by me and all opinions are 100% mine.
While they have an excellent web site and there are great advantages to renting from them;
-save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
-free shipping both ways,
-can highlight in the textbooks,
-flexible renting periods,
I want to focus on two items of note. The first and very important is that they partner with Operation Smile.
