The creamy (sometimes crunchy), thick, lip-smacking, nutty taste of home that is peanut butter will never be replaceable, but it’s always great to find new ways to use old classics.

After recreating all of these recipes, you’ll agree: There’s nothing peanut butter can’t do.

This recipe brings together two great inventions: the quesadilla and peanut butter. This is a fast and easy lunch you can throw together, and it’s just as decadent as a crepe you’d find at a restaurant.

This quesadilla really comes to life with a slight touch of cinnamon, which goes quite nicely with the fruit and peanut butter.

8. African Peanut Soup

This dish is a lighter take on a cultural staple. All of the intense flavors of this dish, from the sweet potatoes and hot chili peppers to the tomatoes and celery, are bolstered by the peanuts and peanut butter, making this a real powerhouse meal.

9. Crunchy Rainbow Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

10. Kale and Peanut Butter Fried Rice

This peanut butter-infused fried rice is totally unique, and the mix of flavors is to die for.

This recipe is reminiscent of Peanut Butter M&Ms but takes on the vision of a peanut butter cake pop (without the cake, of course). The taste of the velvety peanut butter inside, coated with semi-sweet chocolate and crunchy M&Ms, puts this recipe in the sweet tooth hall of fame.

19. Chocolate Peanut Butter Avocado Pudding

It looks like pudding, smells like pudding, and tastes like pudding, but there’s a catch. The avocado component of this pudding recipe makes this dish even creamier and healthier while never taking away the natural sweetness from the chocolate, peanut butter, or bananas. This dessert is rich and savory in every bite,

20. Peanut Butter Oreo Chocolate Bark

If you’re a fan of dipping your Oreos straight into the jar of peanut butter, this recipe was made for you. This no-bake dessert recipe has minimal ingredients, which is just fine because peanut butter and Oreos are already shining stars. This bark recipe is very easy and crumbly, but the taste makes it worth getting a little messy.

EASY CREAMY WHITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

One of my favorite Mexican meals (besides chimichangas) are enchiladas. Funny side note: did you know the word “chimichanga” is Spanish for thing-a-ma-jig? Ha! This recipe for white chicken enchiladas are no joke though! 😉

SUBSTITUTING TRADITIONAL RED SAUCE FOR WHITE SAUCE

I’m not crazy about the red sauce enchiladas. The red sauce can sometimes be so overwhelming in taste for me that I can’t really taste the other flavors in the dish. And sometimes my acid reflux disagrees with anything red. Enter the white sauce. Now this is up my alley. A light-tasting sour cream sauce that has a hint of heat from the green chiles. You can taste all the flavors in these creamy chicken enchiladas; the chicken, the tortillas and the creamy cheese. It is such a nice combination of flavors that go so well with a side of refried beans and rice.close

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas with White Sauce recipe from The Country Cook

WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR THIS RECIPE:
flour tortillas
shredded chicken
Monterey Jack cheese (mozzarella also works)
butter
flour
chicken broth
sour cream
diced green chiles
salt & pepper
Adobo seasoning

HOW TO MAKE WHITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH CREAM SAUCE:

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

TIPS FOR COOKING AND SHREDDING CHICKEN:

You can cook your chicken a couple of ways. You can roast a couple of chicken breasts in the oven. Just drizzle a bit of olive oil on them and season with salt and pepper and cook for about 35-45 minutes. Or you can boil your chicken until cooked. Or you could use a store bought rotisserie chicken. It just depends on how much time you have to prepare this and what flavor you want from your chicken. The roasted and rotisserie chicken are going to give you the most flavor. Once your chicken is cooked, you’ll want to shred it using two forks. Or if you have a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, put your chicken in the mixing bowl.

Turn mixer on and within a minute, your chicken will be perfectly shredded. Handy little trick that is.

If I am serving the seasoned crackers immediately I like to sprinkle them with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a little chopped fresh parsley for an extra special touch.

If packaging them up to gift, simply allow them to cool completely before packing in an airtight container.
