Sugar will keep indefinitely stored in a container in a cool, dry place.  Brown sugar dries out and hardens if exposed to air.  Add an apple slice to the container to return moisture to the sugar.

As long it is stored in a cool, dry place, cocoa powder can last up to 2 years.  If the cocoa seems lumpy, run it through a sifter before using.

Chicken Enchilada Tart

Written by Lisa on August 19, 2008 – 12:50 am -

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 cup frozen corn
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and cubed (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded colby monterey jack cheese
1 can enchilada sauce
1 can Pillsbury refrigerated pizza crust

Heat over to 400 degrees F. Spray 15×10x1 inch pan (I used a cookie sheet) with cooking spray.

In a skillet, heat vegetable oil. Add in the onion and cook 2-3 minutes. Add the corn and cook 3-4 minutes. Stir in chicken and remove from heat. Stir in the sour cream and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Let this cool for about 5 minutes.

Unroll the pizza crust dough into the pan. Starting at the center, press dough into a 10 inch square. Spread about 2 tbsp of the enchilada sauce over the dough. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the sauce to within 2 inches of the edge. Then drizzle about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce over the chicken mixture and sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese. Fold the edges of dough up over the filling and round the corners.

Bake about 20 - 25 minutes or until the crust is brown and filling is bubbly (I slightly overcooked mine — Even I mess up these easy to cook recipes sometimes! LOL) Let the tart stand for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining enchilada sauce.

To serve, top tart with chopped Roma tomatoes and shredded lettuce. Cut into wedges and serve with the warmed up enchilada sauce.
