Time 50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
8 green onions, chopped
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup lime juice
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
10 large flour tortillas
1 (15 ounce) can green enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
  • Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the chicken breasts in boiling water until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a cutting board to cool.
  • Beat cream cheese, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Stir tomatoes, green onion, green chiles, cilantro, and lime juice into the cream cheese mixture. Add 1 cup Cheddar cheese and fold to integrate.
  • Shred cooled chicken with a pair of forks into strands; stir into the cream cheese mixture. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla and fold tortilla around the filling; arrange into the prepared baking dish. Top tortillas with remaining Cheddar cheese and green enchilada sauce.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
