Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (skin and bones discarded)
1/2 cup jarred red enchilada sauce
1/4 cup sliced and drained pickled jalapenos, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
Kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
Two 8-ounce tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
3 ounces pepper Jack cheese, cut in half (about 5 slices)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Salsa, for serving
Sour cream, thinned with water, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Stir together the chicken, enchilada sauce, pickled jalapenos, chili powder, cumin, garlic, scallion whites and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Coat the back of a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate unto 16 triangles. Put a 5-inch ramekin in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the triangles in a ring around the ramekin so the short sides of the dough are touching the ramekin, overlapping slightly, and the pointed ends are facing outward (it should look like a giant sun).
  • Spoon the chicken mixture over the short ends of the triangles closest to the ramekin. Sprinkle Mexican blend cheese on top of the chicken. Then top with the pepper Jack slices. Remove the ramekin. Take hold of the pointed end of one of the triangles and fold it up and over the filling, tucking the tip under the bottom edge of dough to secure (the dough will not cover the filling completely). Repeat with the remaining triangles (there will be some gaps where you can see the chicken mixture).
  • Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Brush the dough with butter and sprinkle on the scallion greens. Let cool for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to slide the ring off the baking sheet onto a platter. Serve with salsa drizzled with thinned sour cream.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Chicken Enchiladas image

This Mexican recipe came to The Times in 2002 by way of Amanda Hesser. It is a simply prepared casserole of shredded chicken rolled in corn tortillas underneath a mild, seed-speckled tomatillo sauce. Crumbled queso añejo, a sharp white cheese, is sprinkled over the top before it is baked until the cheese melts and the entire dish is heated through. You could serve it with rice and a medley of steamed beets, cauliflower and carrots, as a cook in Mexico might, but a crisp green salad would be welcome, too. (After reading several comments from readers who felt the sauce needed to be doubled, we retested the recipe and agreed. We've updated the amounts accordingly.)

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Sea salt
4 skinless, boneless chicken-breast halves
2 pounds tomatillos, papery skin removed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large white onions, peeled, 1 chopped, the other sliced into rings
2 tablespoons minced jalapeño
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
12 corn tortillas
8 ounces queso añejo or cotija, crumbled
Mexican crema or crème fraîche for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a pan of salted water to a simmer and poach the chicken over low heat until just cooked through, about 9 minutes. Remove to a bowl. Let cool. With your fingers, finely shred the chicken. Lightly season with salt, toss to mix and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Cut the tomatillos in half. Heat the oil in a skillet large enough to fit the tomatillos in 1 layer. When the oil shimmers, add the chopped onion and jalapeño and sauté until the onion is softened at the edges. Add the tomatillos, season with salt and continue cooking until wilted. Turn off the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Pour the tomatillos into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Add the cilantro. Adjust the seasoning. Pour the sauce into a shallow bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2-quart baking dish and spread a little sauce on the bottom. Working with 1 tortilla at a time, soften each in a dry, hot skillet for about 8 seconds per side, then coat lightly with sauce. Lay each tortilla on a plate and sprinkle about 1/3 cup of shredded chicken in the middle and roll into a cylinder. Repeat, lining up tortillas tightly in the dish.
  • Spread the rest of the sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with queso añejo. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 10 minutes longer, until the queso añejo is melted. Dollop with crema, garnish with onion rings and serve with additional crema.

Not only is this recipe delicious, but it's truly creative! I can't wait for the next time I need to take a dish to a party - This will be a real winner. Pair it with a salad for a filling dinner, or slice it up and serve it as a finger food for your next party.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN ENCHILADA RECIPE YOU'LL EVER TRY...



The Absolute Best Chicken Enchilada Recipe You'll Ever Try... image

I came across this recipe about three years ago on TOH's website. It originally called for 10 flour tortillas (6 inches), but I found my alteration to the recipe to be much better. I have also substituted on occasion pintos for black beans, and used Pace Picante sauce instead of the salsa. This recipe has become a staple at my house.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce, divided
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1 1/2 cups salsa
2 cups shredded chicken

  • When baking the enchilada ring, cover it with foil for the first 30 minutes to prevent the top from getting too brown.
  • Serve the enchilada ring with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can also bake the enchilada ring in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
