SHORTCUT CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Shortcut Chicken Enchiladas image

This dish whips store-bought rotisserie chicken, salsa and beans into a quick enchilada bake that is ready in less than an hour. It's a great use for that leftover half of a chicken, but if you have a whole chicken, you can easily double the recipe to make 8 to 12 servings.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 15-ounce can refried beans (about 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
12 ounces (3 cups) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 rotisserie chicken, meat shredded (about 2 1/4 cups), bones and skin discarded
Freshly ground black pepper
One 16-ounce jar medium-spicy tomato salsa
Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas
Sour cream and pickled jalapenos, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Stir together the beans, oregano and 1 cup cheese in a bowl. Add the chicken, season with pepper and stir until evenly combined.
  • Stir the salsa together with 1 cup water in a bowl, then transfer 1 cup to cover the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stack the tortillas, wrap them in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, about 15 seconds.
  • Arrange the tortillas on a workspace, then divide the chicken filling among the tortillas (about 1/4-cup filling per tortilla). Roll the tortillas up like a cigar, then transfer them to the baking dish seam-side down, positioning the rolls so that the dish is filled evenly. Press the rolls gently with your hands so they begin to soak the sauce up. Pour the remaining salsa mixture over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups cheese.
  • Bake the enchiladas until the cheese melts and the enchiladas are hot in the center, about 30 minutes. Serve hot with sour cream and pickled jalapenos.

POBLANO CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



Poblano Chicken Enchilada Casserole image

I've begun making my enchiladas casserole style, which saves a lot time, not to mention burned fingers. :) However, everyone still raves over my enchiladas, and this recipe recently earned a round of applause when I made them on a skiing holiday. The sauce is actually a modified Alfredo recipe and is also great over fajitas.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 corn tortillas, (6 inch)
1 chicken (3 to 4 pounds)
2 quarts homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, halved and cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 green or red bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch strips
Enchilada Sauce
Pepper and Tomato Salsa
Sour cream, (optional)
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 6 ounces)
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large pot, and pour chicken stock over it. Add enough water to cover if necessary. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until chicken is cooked through and very tender, about 1 hour. Transfer chicken to a bowl to cool, and reserve the stock to use for enchilada sauce if desired. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones, and shred; set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until the slices start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add peppers, and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and set aside.
  • When ready to assemble, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place enchilada sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When hot, dip tortillas into sauce, one at a time, to soften, and place side by side on two baking sheets. Divide the shredded chicken and pepper mixture among the tortillas. Place cheeses in a bowl, and toss to combine. Top each tortilla with 2 tablespoons grated cheese. Roll up tortillas, and place snugly seam side down in a 9-by-13-inch ovenproof baking dish. Top them with the remaining enchilada sauce and with the remaining grated cheese. Bake until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Serve with the salsa, sour cream, or both if desired.
