Taste Test Tuesday: Sun Oven Chicken Enchilada

This recipe was one I threw together with what I had on hand.  The sun oven does a great job of taking chicken from the freezer to ready to eat moist cooked chicken that can be eaten as is or put back into the sun oven in a casserole like this or any other dish.


I recently became aware that sun ovens are coming on sale again.  See below for some of the sites I regularly check out--for great recipes and ideas!


http://www.dealstomeals.blogspot.com/  this site is actually running a giveaway for a sun oven right now--yeah!  But besides the give away, this site has great recipes.  Also, if you live out west, dealstomeals is a great way to save money on groceries and stock up on food storage.  I have tried many of the recipes, and they are delicious.

http://everydayfoodstorage.net/blog   see the Sept 9th post for details on the current sun oven sale.  Otherwise this is a great website for delicious recipes using food storage items. 

http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/products-we-recommend/global-sun-ovens/     this site also sells the sun oven and for September shipping is free!

http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/emergency-preparedness/emergency-preparedness-product-of-the-day/  I am sharing this link just because if you are interested in preparedness products they are highlighting one each day this month--and one of them--a stove in a can--has a code you can use to get 50% off the price.  

You can also make your own stove cans out of empty #10 cans, which I think I will show for this weeks Saturday School, but should you decide you want to buy one instead, the above mentioned is a great deal.

The sun oven is a great emergency preparedness item.  No fuel is necessary, just the sun.  I would include other alternative cooking methods/fuels as part of a complete emergency preparedness plan though because it isn't always sunny as we all know.  There are many different methods, decide as a family what will work best for you.  Think of how you will need to store the fuel and the stove/oven--some fuels should only be stored away from living spaces.  Also consider whether you want to be able to cook indoors or not.  Have fun and practice using what methods you have chosen during non-stressful situations.
