2 chicken breasts, cooked & shredded or finely chopped ((about 3 cups))
1 tbsp oil
1/2 cup red onion, cut in a small dice
3 plump garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 10 ounce cans red mild enchilada sauce, divided
10-12 tortillas - flour (fajita size) (**see note if using corn tortillas)
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
pinch red pepper flakes
2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese, divided
6 green onions, chopped- white and light green parts only

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • In a large non-stick skillet saute the 1/2 cup diced onions and 3 chopped garlic cloves in the oil over medium heat. About 5 minutes until the onions are slightly translucent.
  • Add the 3 cups cooked chicken, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, pinch red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and 1/3 cup enchilada sauce. Stir to coat the chicken with all the seasonings and sauce.

  • Now set up an assembly line for your enchiladas. Tortillas, chicken filling, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and the prepared pan.
  • Place a few spoonfuls of chicken down the center of one tortilla and top with a few pinches of cheese. Roll the tortilla over the filling and lay it, seam side down, in the prepared pan. Continue this process until all the tortillas and filling are used. You will have 10-12 enchiladas.
  • Top the rolled enchiladas with the remaining can of sauce, remaining cup of cheese and all the green onions.
  • Cover the pan with foil and place in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
  • Let the Chicken Enchiladas cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
½ (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers, drained
24 flour tortillas
2 (10.75 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
2 cups half and half
1 cup chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 11x15-inch baking dish.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove from the pan, drain, and shred with two forks. Place the shredded chicken into a bowl and mix with 8 ounces of Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and canned green chilies.

  • In a bowl, whisk together the soup, half-and-half, chicken broth, and about 1/3 of the 2nd package of shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese. Pour the sauce over the enchiladas, sprinkle remaining Colby-Monterey Jack cheese over the casserole, and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and the cheese topping is melted and beginning to brown, about 25 minutes.

ULTIMATE CREAMY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Ultimate Creamy Chicken Enchiladas image

This is like a creamy, cheesy, full-of-flavor-in-every-bite dish. The chicken is tender and moist and the tortillas are soft. The enchilada sauce is tangy and pungent and complements the creamy, rich filling so well. This is also great for entertaining because it can be fully assembled ahead of time or even frozen and cooked later. Serve with toppings such as salsa, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and jalapenos.

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ¼ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 teaspoons chili powder, divided
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin, divided
12 (6 inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 medium poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese
4 ounces sour cream
4 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, divided
1 cup refried beans
1 (15 ounce) can red enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Place chicken on a large sheet of foil and season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Seal the foil around the chicken and place the packet on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender and no longer pink in the center, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Shred cooked chicken and set aside. Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • While chicken cooks, prepare tortillas. Spread both sides of each tortilla lightly with butter. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast each tortilla, about 10 seconds on each side, and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, poblano pepper, and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add remaining salt, chili powder, and cumin and cook, stirring frequently, until veggies are very tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in tomatoes and cream cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, until cheese has melted. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and 2 cups Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend.
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon refried beans, if using, in the center of a tortilla. Add about 1/4 cup chicken filling and roll up to seal. Repeat with remaining beans and filling. Pour 1/4 cup sauce in the bottom of 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange enchiladas in a single layer over the sauce. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top and spread to evenly coat. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving with desired toppings.
