White Chicken Enchiladas

The other day I decided to make white chicken enchiladas.

The dish is Amy's favorite that I make; and she was very excited at the prospect even though I was quite sure I got lucky the first time and hadn't made it since.

Have you ever noticed a Pinterest recipe disappearing? It's as if the pin magically links to some other web page. Of course I found this horrifying, as I realized not only was I making a dish I'd only cooked once before, but now I was making it without a recipe.

Thankfully, Pinterest is a magical place. I swiftly found another recipe and proceeded to cook. Find the recipe here.

The next time I make it, I'll use the grill. Maybe even both of them.

I think I could cook the chicken better on the grill by cooking it in a cast iron skillet on the secondary cooking grid for 20 minutes and then shredding it in the pan with the cheese.

I used a little Paprika and Adobo seasoning when frying the tenders up.

I got it! I'll smoke a whole chicken and pull all the meat! That way there will be leftover pulled chicken I can use for chicken salad sandwiches, chicken salads, and even pulled chicken BBQ.

The last step was rolling the enchiladas and pouring the sauce over them. If I smoked a chicken, I could adjust my temperature after taking the chicken off to be shredded. Then I could make my sauce, roll the enchiladas, and load them into my big cast iron skillet to bake on the grill. I'll give it a shot and share my findings.

Have a great weekend!

SMOKING TIPS

#1 

Make sure you have enough charcoal. Fill your firebox all the way to where the firebox meets the fire ring.

 

#2

Make sure you leave the dome up and the bottom vent open until the fire is going good.

 

#3

A remote meat thermometer is your friend. I use a Maverick myself and it tracks the heat of whatever I'm cooking and my grill temperature, with an alarm to let me know if the fire gets too hot and when the meat is finished.
