  • Chicken Flautus

    A few weeks ago I got to spend the week with some of my favorite people.  We fished, cooked and hung out and it was AMAZING!  One of the dishes that my sweet friend Shannon made were these Chicken Flautus and they were so good I have to share them with you. It all started here… To make these flautus super special Shannon made her own version of Rotel that the chicken would eventually soak up.  Honestly I thought she was crazy to make her own and questioned why she wasn’t just using the favorite canned version but she assured me I would understand once I tasted it and she…
