Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 green bell peppers
2 red bell peppers
2 yellow bell peppers
2 or 3 hot chiles, such as serrranos, jalapenos or the like
1 large onion, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon paprika
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups grated Monterey jack cheese
1 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
16 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup store-bought salsa
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Put on a baking sheet and bake until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then shred the meat with 2 forks.
  • Roast the bell peppers and chiles directly on a gas burner (or directly under the broiler) until the skin is mostly black. Throw the peppers and chiles into a plastic storage bag and seal it. Let them steam inside the bag for 30 minutes or so. Core and seed, then scrape off the black skin. Chop and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the chopped onions and jalapeno in the vegetable oil until the onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Throw in the shredded chicken, then stir in 1 cup of the chicken broth and 1 cup of the heavy cream. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the paprika and some salt and pepper, then add half of the chopped roasted peppers and chiles. Stir the mixture around and let it cook for a couple of minutes, then set it aside.
  • In a separate skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk it together to combine. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Then pour in the remaining 2 cups chicken broth, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1 1/2 cups of the grated cheese. Finally, stir in the sour cream and the rest of the chopped roasted peppers and chiles. If the sauce needs a little thinning, splash in as much broth as you need. Give the sauce a taste and add salt if it needs it (with all the cheese, it shouldn't need much).
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Wrap the tortillas in paper towels and microwave until very soft and pliable, about a minute.
  • Place a small amount of the chicken mixture and about a tablespoon of the grated cheese down the center of each tortilla. Fold over the edges and arrange them seam-side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Pour the sauce over the top. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup grated cheese and bake until bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream and salsa on top and a sprinkle of cilantro leaves.
