Easy White Chicken Enchilada Skillet

Years ago, when I was a child, one of my favorite places to eat was Chi Chi’s. Do you remember that Mexican chain restaurant? They would start you out with tortilla chips and fresh salsa.

I’ve been building my food blog for just a few short months and as I look back, I see that this was the very first recipe I posted! I was so nervous and frankly, SCARED that the blog wouldn’t work right, recipes wouldn’t print, or people wouldn’t like what I posted. I’ve grown since then […]
