CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH CREAMY GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas (1 at a time) for 5 seconds on each side to soften and make them pliable. Add more oil to pan as needed. Drain between layers of paper towel and keep warm.
• Divide chicken, 10 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese, and onion among the 12 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture begins to boil. Slowly add broth, stirring with a whisk until thickened. Mix in the sour cream and chiles, heating thoroughly but do not boil, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture over the enchiladas.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and bake for 5 more minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chiles, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken broth and simmer until reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes.
• Bring seasoned chicken broth and remaining chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Working one at a time, very briefly dip tortillas into broth to barely soften. Transfer each tortilla to a large baking sheet (you may need 2 or 3 sheets). Do not overlap or tortillas will stick.
• Divide 1 1/4 cups cheese equally among tortillas and top each with shredded chicken, dividing evenly. Wrap tortilla around filling and transfer, seam-side down, to a 9- by 13-in. baking dish. I can fit 9 into a casserole dish.
• Pour chile sauce over enchiladas, add large spoonful of simmered chicken broth (left over from tortillas) over sauce and top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake until cheese is bubbling and browned approximately 15 minutes. Serve with sour cream and spanish rice. Ole!
• Note: I buy a whole seasoned chicken and put in the crockpot and set for 10 hours. This cooks the chicken slow and makes it easy to shred and give these enchiladas more flavor.

CHICKEN AND GREEN CHILI ENCHILADAS AND STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Core the stem and seeds, keeping the poblano peppers whole. Place poblano peppers on top rack of grill away from direct flame. Roast, turning frequently, while the skin blisters, but be careful it does not burn. When the skin evenly blisters and turns a light brownish color, remove and place in a tightly closed paper bag until ready to use (at least 10 min). They should be soft, but retain their shape. Next, take the boneless chicken thighs and coat with garlic powder, and grill on the cooler part of the flame, careful to turn them so that they are grilled but not charred. Cook until tender but slightly underdone. Remove from the grill and allow to cool. Place enough olive oil in a skillet to thinly coat the bottom. Cook the chopped onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, green chilis, & garlic powder (to taste) over low heat until caramelized. After the ingredients have begun to caramelize, reduce heat and add El Phoenix hot sauce. This should reduce to a mush. After the poblanos have cooled, remove the blistered skin (should be easy). What should remain is an easy to handle, but somewhat rigid pepper. Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes, and divide it into two piles, one slightly larger. Place a small amount of cheese, then 1/3 of the chicken from the smaller pile, some onion-tomato mix, and some cheese into each of the poblano peppers. Place chicken from the larger pile into a line in the center of the tortillas, with some of the onion-tomato mix, and some cheese. Roll them, leaving both ends open. Place in pan with peppers, leaving some space between the enchiladas. Set the enchiladas on their seams, so they do not unroll while baking. Pour the entire contents of the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and poblanos, allowing the sauce to completely cover them. Take the remaining cheese and sprinkle over the top of the entire mixture. Place in the preheated oven, and cook for 30 - 35 minutes or until done. Once finished, the meal should be hot, bubbling and roasted.

GREEN JALAPENO AND TOMATILLO CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat the cooking oil in a small frying pan. Slide the torillas thru with a spatula (one by one) quickly for about 2-3 secs on each side. What you are trying to accomplish with this is for the tortillas to become soft and pliable. Be careful not to harden them by leaving them too long in the oil. Place on a paper towel to drain.
• Open the can of tomatillos and drain. In a blender add the tomatillos and cleaned jalapeno. Blend for about 3 minute or until everything is thoroughly mixed. Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a medium pot, add the tomatillo mix and stir under medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add salt to taste. Turn stove off. Stir in ONLY 1/4 cup of the crema. Reserve 1/2 of this sauce and set aside.
• Open and drain can of jalapenos and mix with the shredded chicken. At this point, add the reserved tomatillo mixture to chicken and combine by mixing together.
• In a baking sheet, start making enchiladas by adding 2 table spoons of chicken mixture to middle of tortilla and roll. Do this with all the tortillas.Place all the enchiladas side by side in the baking pan.
• Pour the remaining tomatillo mixture on top of the enchiladas. Place enchiladas in oven and heat thru for about 5-7 minute.
• In a small ziploc bag, place the remaining CREMA. Make a medium-small opening at one corner, in order to squeeze cream thru corner.

GREEN CHILI CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare fillings by placing each of the following in individual bowls: cheese, chopped onions, chopped scallions and olives. Set aside.
• Spray bottoms of two 9x13 baking dishes (glass recommended) with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 can of sauce into each baking dish and spread evenly. Set aside. Note: For best results, shake cans of sauce before opening.
• In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil to the point where a piece of tortilla dipped in the oil sizzles. Note: For ease in assembling the enchiladas, best to place this skillet on the right front burner. Note: If you leave the tortilla in the oil too long, it will burn. The trick is to place it in the oil for only a moment and then flip it and remove it. If it bubbles up, use the tongs to deflate the bubbles. Some crispiness is desired.
• Place another skillet on the left front burner and fill it with 1/2 can of enchilada sauce. Note: The sauce in this skillet DOES NOT need to be heated.
• Using tongs, place one tortilla into the hot oil. Immediately flip it one time and then remove to the skillet containing the sauce. Drench each side of the cooked tortilla with sauce, then remove it to the baking dish. Note: 1 cup of oil should be enough but you can add more if needed. Be sure to test for correct degree of hotness again if you add oil.
• Once the cooked, drenched tortilla has been moved to the baking dish, use your fingers to lay it open. Fill it down the center with some chicken, cheese and onions. Once filled, roll up the sides toward the middle, then turn the filled enchilada over so that it rests seam-side down in the baking dish.
• Repeat steps 6 & 7 until you have filled each baking dish with enchiladas. Note: Each pan usually holds 5 but if you haven't filled them too full, you may be able to squeeze in 6.
• Once each baking dish has been filled with enchiladas, top each with the following in this order: 1/2 can enchilada sauce, remaining cheese (sprinkled down the middle of the enchiladas), chopped scallions and black olives.
• Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until heated through (watch that cheese doesn't burn). Dishes are done when sauce bubbles gently around the edges.
• Have a margarita with them and enjoy!

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH GREEN SAUCE AND LONG-GRAIN RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, add the sliced onion and minced garlic, saute for about 2 minutes. Then add the chicken slices and cook until chicken is a nice golden brown. Turn the heat up a touch and add the bell pepper slices and dried chili flakes. Once chicken is no longer pink remove from the heat and place the mixture into a bowl.
• In a small skillet add 1 cup oil. When oil is warm submerge a tortilla for 10 to 15 seconds or until soft. This will soften them and make rolling a lot easier. Drain on paper towels and repeat this process until all tortillas have been softened. Pour 1 cup of Green Sauce on bottom of the baking dish to cover. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, roll them up. Place seam side down on top of the sauce in the baking dish. Pour the remaining green sauce over them and spread the cheese mix evenly over the top. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve with long-grain rice.
• For the Green Sauce:
• Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until a nice salsa consistency is reached.
• For the Rice: Pour 3 cups of hot water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Rinse the rice well in a bowl under cold water and drain. This will remove surface starch and will be less sticky. Place the rinsed and drained rice into the saucepan, cover and cook until al dente, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add fresh cilantro and lime juice and serve.
