THE BEST chicken enchiladas!! So fast and easy! My sister gave me this recipe years ago and it has been a staple in out home ever since. I often make this for potlucks and it ALWAYS gets RAVE reviews. I get asked for the recipe every time! If you like your food spicy you can use hot chilies and hot green enchilada sauce. I have toddlers, so I have to make mine mild, but it's great spicy too. It is definately rich, but oh so worth it! Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (you can use 1/3 less fat if desired) |
2 (10 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce |
2 (4 ounce) cans mild chiles |
burrito-size flour tortilla |
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cube chicken and brown in deep skillet.
3. Add the chilies and cream cheese to the pan with the chicken. Cook until cheese is thoroughly melted.
4. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
5. Put a little of the green enchilada sauce on the bottom of the 9x13 pan. (about half of one can or so).
6. Spoon chicken mixture into tortilla's and roll them up like burritos. (you can close the ends or leave them open it doesn't matter much.) Place them in the 9x13 pan.
7. Pour the rest of the green enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas.
8. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
9. Bake for 35-45 min or until heated through.
10. Let sit 5-10 minutes before serving.
