GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.
• Add olive oil to a pot over medium heat. Add in onions and saute 4 minutes. Add in garlic and saute an additional 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour and stir well.
• Slowly add in chicken broth, stirring constantly, until a sauce forms. Add in diced green chile, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, and salt to taste. Blend, if desired
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add in chicken breasts and boil until cooked through, about 20 - 25 minutes.
• Remove chicken from the pot, shred with two forks, and transfer to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1 tsp ground cumin. Stir well.
• Warm tortillas up in the microwave for 30 - 60 seconds, until pliable. Add 2 - 3 tbsp of cooked chicken to the center of each tortilla, then top with 1 tbsp of cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Pour green chile sauce over the rolled enchiladas (I use about a cup, but you can adjust to your preferences). Top with remaining shredded cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 degrees, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH CREAMY GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas (1 at a time) for 5 seconds on each side to soften and make them pliable. Add more oil to pan as needed. Drain between layers of paper towel and keep warm.
• Divide chicken, 10 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese, and onion among the 12 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture begins to boil. Slowly add broth, stirring with a whisk until thickened. Mix in the sour cream and chiles, heating thoroughly but do not boil, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture over the enchiladas.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and bake for 5 more minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.

GREEN CHILI CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken liberally with taco seasoning.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken and saute until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and allow to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Add onion to the same skillet and saute until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add 1 can diced tomatoes with liquid, diced green chile peppers, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until sauce is smooth.
• Dice cooled chicken and transfer to a bowl. Drain remaining can of diced tomatoes; discard liquid and add tomatoes to the chicken.
• Place about 1/4 cup chicken mixture in the middle of a tortilla. Add 2 tablespoons shredded cheese, then roll tortilla up. Place seam-side down in a baking pan. Repeat to make remaining enchiladas.
• Cover enchiladas with sauce and spread remaining cheese over top. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

ROASTED GREEN CHILE-CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Make the salsa: Put the tomatillos, jalapenos, and onion in a saucepan with the vinegar and water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and poach until the tomatillos are soft, about 10 minutes. Drain. Put the vegetables in a blender, add the cumin, and puree. Add the cilantro, lime juice, and salt, and pulse to combine. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, place the poblano peppers directly over the flame on a gas stove and cook, turning with tongs, until the skin is charred and blackened. (Or, if you have an electric stove, put the chiles on a baking sheet and broil, turning with tongs, until the skin is blackened.) Skin the peppers; then seed, core, and dice them.
• Heat a 2-count of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in the cumin and cook 1 minute. Then sprinkle on the flour and cook, stirring, 1 more minute. Gradually pour in the stock, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer, stirring to make sure the flour doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan; the liquid will thicken. Fold in the chicken, diced peppers, and cilantro, and season well with salt and pepper.
• To assemble the dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Get your self a large baking dish. Dip a tortilla into the tomatilla salsa and put it on a cutting board. Put a big scoop of the chicken mixture in the center, sprinkle with a little of the cheese, and roll the tortilla like a cigar to enclose the filling. Use a spatula to place it seam side down in the baking dish. Continue to fill all of the tortillas and put them in the baking dish. Pour the remaining tomatilla salsa over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes until bubbly and cracked on top. Serve hot with the guacamole and sour cream.
• Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop out the flesh with a tablespoon into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving them somewhat chunky. Add the remaining ingredients, and fold everything together to gently mix. Lay a piece of plastic wrap right on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn't brown and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

1-HOUR CHICKEN GREEN CHILE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and add jalapenos, tomato, onions, garlic salt and pepper. Saute until softened, about 7-8 minutes. If the vegetables get too dry, add a few tablespoons of water.
• Add canned chicken with juices to the pot, breaking up the chicken into little pieces. Mix well and saute until almost dry, about 7-8 minutes. When done, set aside to cool.
• While chicken mixture is cooking, put green salsa, yogurt, water and garlic into a blender and blend on high until liquified. Set aside.
• Heat 1/2 cup oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Using tongs, slide in a tortilla until one side is coated with oil, then flip over and coat the other side. It should sizzle slightly and the tortilla may puff up a bit. Allow excess oil to drip from tortilla back into pan. Remove after a few seconds on each side to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Divide cheese in half and set 2 cups aside to top enchiladas.
• Using a spoon, divide chicken mixture into 10 small piles. Do the same with 2 cups of the cheese.
• To assemble enchiladas, have a 9x13 inch baking pan ready. Take a tortilla and spread 1 pile of chicken mixture in a line down the center. Sprinkle with 1 pile of cheese. Roll tightly and place in one end of the baking pan seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Pour green chile sauce over enchiladas, making sure they are all completely covered. Sprinkle evenly with remaining cheese and bake for 20 minutes.
• If you like a browned top, broil for a few minutes, keeping a close eye on them so as not to burn. Top with green onions and serve.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chiles, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken broth and simmer until reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes.
• Bring seasoned chicken broth and remaining chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Working one at a time, very briefly dip tortillas into broth to barely soften. Transfer each tortilla to a large baking sheet (you may need 2 or 3 sheets). Do not overlap or tortillas will stick.
• Divide 1 1/4 cups cheese equally among tortillas and top each with shredded chicken, dividing evenly. Wrap tortilla around filling and transfer, seam-side down, to a 9- by 13-in. baking dish. I can fit 9 into a casserole dish.
• Pour chile sauce over enchiladas, add large spoonful of simmered chicken broth (left over from tortillas) over sauce and top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake until cheese is bubbling and browned approximately 15 minutes. Serve with sour cream and spanish rice. Ole!
• Note: I buy a whole seasoned chicken and put in the crockpot and set for 10 hours. This cooks the chicken slow and makes it easy to shred and give these enchiladas more flavor.
