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.

ANGELA'S AWESOME ENCHILADAS



Angela's Awesome Enchiladas image

The secret is in the seasonings! I whipped these up on my own using stuff I had on hand. Shredding the chicken is the most time-consuming step, but it's worth it in the end. Give these babies a try! Serve with sour cream and a side of Spanish rice.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cut into chunks
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 ¼ cups sour cream
¼ teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
1 (1.25 ounce) package mild taco seasoning mix
1 bunch green onions, chopped, divided
1 cup water
1 teaspoon lime juice
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
5 (12 inch) flour tortillas
3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken pieces are no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Shred chicken by placing two forks back to back and pulling meat apart. Set the shredded chicken aside. Meanwhile, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chili powder in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, taco seasoning, half of the bunch of chopped green onion, and water. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the lime juice, onion powder, and garlic powder; simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir 1 cup of the soup mixture into the skillet with the chicken mixture. Spread the remaining soup mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the chicken filling before folding the tortillas, reserving half of the shredded cheese for topping the enchiladas. Fold tortillas over the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
  • Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Cover with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the reserved chopped green onions and the sliced olives on top of the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 pieces
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups brown rice, cooked
2 (10 ounce) cans red enchilada sauce, medium heat
8 ounces low-fat cream cheese, softened
4 ounces low-fat sour cream
4 1/2 ounces diced green chili peppers, drained
16 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 cups shredded low-fat monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and chicken for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Continue to sauté until chicken is thoroughly cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the cilantro, then gently fold in the rice and black beans.
  • In a sauce pan over low-medium heat, stir together 1-10 oz. can of enchilada sauce, the cream cheese, sour cream and chili peppers. Remove from heat when fully incorporated. Add sauce to chicken mixture.
  • Spray the bottom of a 10x13 baking dish. Place 6 tortillas on the bottom of the pan, overlapping them to make a solid row of tortillas.
  • Spoon half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle on ¾ cup cheese. Layer again with 6 tortillas, the rest of the chicken mixture, followed by ¾ cup cheese. Cover casserole with 4 tortillas, the second 10 oz. can of enchilada sauce and then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese over the top.
  • Cover with aluminum foil (I spray the inside cover so the cheese doesn't stick) and bake for 45 minutes in a preheated 375 degree F oven. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until nicely browned on top.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To make the chicken filling, you can use either cooked or raw chicken. If using cooked chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces. If using raw chicken, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through.
  • To make the enchilada sauce, you can use either store-bought or homemade sauce. If using homemade sauce, simmer the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • To assemble the enchiladas, spread some of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Dip each tortilla in the sauce, then fill it with some of the chicken filling, cheese, and any other desired toppings. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Once all of the enchiladas are assembled, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle with more cheese and bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
