It’s getting to be that time of the year when you need to make dinner but you want to beat the heat. Today’s recipe is one that I created with that in mind. Your kitchen won’t heat up more just because you are fixin’ dinner and this recipe would work great for a picnic in the park too. This recipe all begins with a can of Swanson’s chunk chicken. With no need to cook the chicken, not only do you get the benefits of a cool house but it also makes this a cinch to whip together.
The recipe is a fusion a chicken salad and chicken enchiladas. You get those flavors you find in a chicken enchilada with the convenience of a chilled chicken salad. I incorporated a can of black beans but if you would prefer, you can always use another can of chicken in it’s place.
