6 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Enchiladas
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 3 oz each), fat trimmed
4 medium (about 6-inch) whole-wheat flour tortillas
1/2 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 cup diced green chile (Anaheim chile, fresh or canned)
Calabacitas
1 tbsp plus 2 tsp canola oil

1 Roma tomato, diced

Steps:

  • For sauce, preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with oil. Place tomatoes, onion and garlic on baking sheet. Roast 15 minutes or until onion and garlic turn golden brown. While the vegetables are roasting, start preparing the enchiladas (see below). Remove vegetables from oven. Cool. Place in a blender along with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper and puree until smooth. Set aside.
  • For the enchiladas, combine paprika, cumin, and chili powder in a small bowl. Add oil and 2 tsp water and mix to form a paste. Pat all of spice paste on chicken. Grill or broil chicken 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Cool and slice each breast into long strips (about 3/4 inches wide and 4 inches long). Lay tortillas on a flat surface. Place 3 chicken strips, 2 tbsp cheese, and 2 tbsp green chile on each tortilla. Roll and place in a 9" x 13" baking pan. Cover with sauce. Reduce oven heat to 350°F. Cook enchiladas 15 to 20 minutes or until sauce is bubbly.
  • While the enchiladas are cooking, prepare the calabacitas. Increase oven heat to 425°F. Lightly coat a sheet pan with 1 tbsp oil. Lay zucchini and yellow squash on sheet pan and roast 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Lightly coat a sauté pan with 2 tsp oil. Add zucchini, squash, tomato, onion, and corn. Sauté over medium heat about 5 minutes. Add oregano, salt, and pepper. Serve with enchiladas.

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 small onion
1 teaspoon chopped garlic (1 clove)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup ketchup
4 ounces tomato paste
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
4 ounces jalapeno adobo sauce (available in some supermarkets and specialty food stores)
1 lemon, zest of, only
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 boneless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 small onion, diced
1 cup shiitake mushroom (cleaned, diced and sauteed in 1T butter until soft)
1 potato (diced and cooked in boiling salted water until tender)
2 chicken legs, poached in salt water, meat removed (discard bones)
salt & pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
4 corn tortillas
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces monterey jack cheese, grated
4 ounces sour cream

Steps:

  • To prepare sweet jalapeño sauce:.
  • In a sauce pot, sauté the onions and chopped garlic in olive oil until translucent, stirring. Add ketchup, tomato paste, orange juice, white wine vinegar and honey to mixture, and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and puree in a blender (take care to leave an opening in the lid to allow steam to escape). Return the sauce to the pot and keep warm and pour over chicken and enchiladas.
  • To prepare chicken breasts:.
  • Combine the lemon zest, cilantro, olive oil, pepper and salt in a mixing bowl, add the chicken, and toss to coat well. Marinate chicken for 1 hour at room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat a grill to the white coal stage. After one hour marinating, transfer chicken breasts to a cookie sheet lined with paper towel.
  • Transfer chicken to hot grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning once or twice, to cook the meat evenly. Reserve grilled chicken on the cookie sheet while making the enchiladas and sauce.
  • To prepare enchilada:.
  • Heat a sauté pan to medium. Add the olive oil, swirl to heat, then add the onions and sauté for one minute, stirring. Add the mushrooms and potatoes, sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes. Then add 1 cup of cooked meat from the chicken legs and sauté for another minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste and then add cilantro. (If you find the filling is a little dry, you can add some low-sodium chicken broth. Reserve over warm.
  • Brush both sides of each corn tortilla with olive oil and heat in a large sauté pan over warm until tortilla becomes pliable. Transfer tortilla to a cutting board, add a few tablespoons of filling to the center, and roll up like a cigar, to close.
  • Place enchilada on warm plate, and continue with remaining tortillas and filling until all the ingredients have been used. Slice grilled chicken breast with the grain, and arrange slices on top of enchiladas.
  • Top with sweet jalapeño sauce and serve with a little grated Monterey jack cheese over the top and sour cream on the side.

BACON-RANCH CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Bacon-Ranch Chicken Enchiladas image

Not authentically Mexican in the slightest, but holy buckets are they good! Great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken.

Provided by krimille

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup chopped yellow onion
½ leftover rotisserie chicken, chopped
¼ cup crumbled cooked bacon
2 tablespoons roasted garlic
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
2 tablespoons sour cream
15 (6 inch) corn tortillas, or more to taste
2 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
1 cup mild enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a 9x12-inch brownie pan with cooking spray.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, bacon, and roasted garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in green onions.
  • Mix ranch dressing and sour cream together in a small bowl. Remove chicken mixture from heat and stir just enough ranch mixture into the skillet to barely coat chicken.
  • Hold 1 tortilla and spoon 2 tablespoons chicken mixture across the middle. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend over chicken and roll tortilla up. Place filled tortilla, seam-side down, against the short end of the pan so it does not unroll. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling until pan is jammed full of enchiladas.
  • Pour enchilada sauce on top of filled tortillas to cover without drowning them. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend generously on top of everything.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly on top, about 15 minutes.

RANCH CHICKEN ENCHILADAS RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Ranch Chicken Enchiladas Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 package chicken taco seasoning
1 package ranch dry salad dressing
1/2 cup bottled ranch dressing
1/2 cup salsa
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can chicken broth
1 package tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook and shred the chicken. I cooked mine in the slow cooker with the ranch packet and taco seasoning packages in the chicken broth. The chicken just peeled apart. I cooked it on low for about 3 to 4 hours. Mix the 1/2 cup of ranch and 1/2 salsa in a bowl. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and spread a very thin layer of the mixture on the bottom. Start assembling the enchiladas by putting 2 tablespoons of the ranch and salsa mixture on the bottom of tortilla. Then put the shredded chicken on top of that. Sprinkle with cheese and roll it up. Line up the enchiladas in the 9x13 pan and sprinkle heavily with the cheddar cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and enchiladas are heated through. Drizzle the top with ranch and enjoy!

Tips:

  • To make the chicken enchiladas, you can use any type of cooked chicken, such as roasted, grilled, or boiled chicken.
  • If you don't have any enchilada sauce, you can make your own by simmering together a can of tomato sauce, a can of diced tomatoes, a tablespoon of chili powder, a teaspoon of cumin, and a teaspoon of salt.
  • To make the calabacitas, you can use any type of summer squash, such as zucchini, yellow squash, or pattypan squash.
  • If you don't have any Mexican crema, you can use sour cream instead.
  • To make the pico de gallo, you can use any type of fresh tomatoes, such as Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, or grape tomatoes.

Conclusion:

Canyon Ranch Grilled Chicken Enchiladas and Calabacitas is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The enchiladas are filled with tender chicken and a flavorful enchilada sauce, while the calabacitas are a light and refreshing side dish. This meal is sure to please everyone at your table.
