HEALTHIER CHICKEN ENCHILADAS I
I've always liked this recipe because it is quick and easy. I'm always looking for ways to cut out excess fat so I use reduced-fat cheese and sour cream. I also like to add fiber to make the meal a little healthier for my family so I add black beans and some bell peppers. This also adds color! To make it super healthy I use whole-wheat flour tortillas. And it still tastes just as delicious!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cook chicken in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain excess fat. Cube chicken and return to skillet. Add onion, sour cream, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, and ground black pepper. Heat until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Stir in salt, tomato sauce, water, chili powder, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, garlic, and black beans.
- Roll even amounts of mixture into tortillas. Arrange in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with taco sauce and 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
- Bake uncovered in preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Prep the chicken and salsa: Before starting the recipe, marinate the chicken in the salsa for at least 30 minutes to infuse it with flavor. This step can be done ahead of time for added convenience.
- Use a variety of tortillas: For a more visually appealing and texturally interesting enchilada, consider using a mix of corn and flour tortillas. Corn tortillas provide a slightly chewy texture, while flour tortillas are softer and more pliable.
- Layer the enchiladas properly: To ensure that the enchiladas cook evenly, layer them in a single layer in the baking dish. Avoid overcrowding the dish, as this can prevent the heat from circulating properly.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is a key ingredient in enchiladas, providing both flavor and a gooey, melted texture. Use a blend of shredded cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella, for a rich and flavorful filling.
- Bake until bubbly: To ensure that the enchiladas are cooked through, bake them until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking, as this can dry out the enchiladas.
Conclusion:
This WW Chicken Enchilada recipe is a delicious and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy lifestyle. With its balanced combination of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, it provides a complete and satisfying meal. The use of lean chicken, whole-wheat tortillas, and low-fat cheese makes this recipe a healthier choice compared to traditional enchiladas. Additionally, the incorporation of vegetables such as corn and bell peppers adds nutrients and fiber to the dish. Overall, this recipe offers a flavorful and nutritious meal that can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
