Short on time? This recipe has some great tips for creating a memorable dish using a rotisserie chicken.

By Caroline Lubbers, Whipped, The Blog
Serves 5-6 people (more if they are kids)

1 cooked rotisserie chicken (from the deli of a store)
1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
3 cups salsa verde (I like Frontera Grill)
10 small flour tortillas (enchilada size, about 8 inches in diameter)
1/2 to 3/4 cup milk for dipping tortillas
Fresh Cilantro for garnish (optional)

For serving (optional)

Sour cream
Guacamole
Pickled jalapeños

1. Remove the meat from the chicken. Take skin off and cut chicken into bite-size pieces and put it in a bowl. Mix 1/2 cup shredded cheese and 1/2 cup salsa verde in with the chicken. Set aside.

2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

3. Pour 1/2 cup of salsa verde on the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan and spread it around. Pour the milk in a shallow dish for dipping the tortillas. One at a time, dip the tortillas into the milk covering completely for about 5 seconds. Then fill the tortilla with about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of chicken and cheese filling. Roll the tortilla and put it in the pan. Repeat until the pan is full and the filling is gone.

4. Cover the enchiladas with the remaining 1-1/2 cups salsa verde. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top. Bake in the oven for about 18-20 minutes until heated through and cheese is on top is melted.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
