So the other night, when Laura, Sergio, and I went to club it up, I had this lotion that I put on because I thought it smelled awesome. Like for reals good. It’s that kind of lotion you put on and instantly feel more attractive because you’re oozing smells of lust. That’s how I would explain it at least. So I squeezed on some of the lotion and instantly asked Sergio to tell me how good I smelled….he said I smelled like a stripper. WINNING. Not really.

Speaking of things that smell….my friend Jake got his stolen car back a couple days ago…I don’t think it smells ok in there. Wanna know why? This is why, please read Jake’s facebook status:

“well…3 weeks later, they found my truck. on top of that they got the guys who did it, along with 5 back packs full of meth, 2 hatchets, 1 sword, a bunch of stolen goods….and gay porn and lube.”

You can imagine what the comments were like to that status. I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s not that funny, it’s actually REALLY scary, but still. It’s kinda funny. He’s getting a new truck. They had to clean needles out of it. That’s even more scary. And not funny. Sorry Jake. I’m a bad friend.

I’ve come to a decision about something. Recently, I tried to back off the coffee and start drinking some tea. I don’t know why. I do dumb sh*t like this. I like caffeine. Like a lot. And I like the taste of coffee. Tea taste like dirty water. Seriously. Don’t write me telling me about tea that tastes good because the only tea that gets me going is tea that is filled with 1/3 cup of honey. So really, sugar water is what gets me going.  I’m easy to shop for.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe…my favorite so far!!! I made a couple of substitutions…I used tomatillos instead of green peppers and used some medium enchilada sauce, decreasing some of the tomato sauce, to give it a little extra kick. 🙂 Thank you so much!

    This recipe is incredible! I started following a Paleo diet about 10 days ago. This is the first recipe I’ve tried from your website… And it’s beyond awesome! I could eat this several times per week!

    Week 5 of Whole30. Just when I think I have tried everything… I stumble across this Enchilada Chicken Stew. It’s in the crock pot and I can’t wait for the smells to fill the house! Thank You!

    Trying to change over to paleo! Just made this, but cheated a little. Had some leftover plain shredded chicken in the fridge. So I sauteed the onions with garlic on the stove top,added shredded cooked chicken and then added the rest of the ingredients. Simmered till heated through. Was delicious and both of my boys went back for seconds!!! Will definitely try the crock pot version next time though.

    What kind of crock pot do you have? 8 hours on low left my chicken super dry and rubbery. Flavors were good otherwise. I have a Crock-Pot Countdown Touchscreen Digital Slow Cooker which runs 199º on low, 204.5º on high. Chicken breast is so hard for me to get right in a slow-cooker!

      i have a cuisinart but it doesn’t tell me what temperature it’s at. it shouldn’t leave it chewy if it has enough liquid

    I have this in my crockpot right now!!! So excited to eat it! Do you have the nutritional facts on it by any chance? ?

    1. juli says:

      nope

    I thought the honey mustard chicken and plantains dish was my favorite until I tried this one. OMG this was fantastic! I did use fresh jalapeños instead on green chiles.

    So excited to try this, looks delicious! Any tips on freezing/reheating? I don’t have a microwave, so would reheating it in the crock pot work? Thanks!

      For sure!
