Green Chicken-Enchilada Pies image

This dinner recipe gets its green coloring from mild green tomatillo salsa, which is widely available. Instead of using four small baking dishes, you can bake one pie in an eight-inch dish.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 pound, 6 ounces)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon safflower oil
1 jar (15 ounces) mild green tomatillo salsa (1 3/4 cups)
9 corn tortillas (5-inch), quartered
2 1/4 cups coarsely grated (on the large holes of a box grater) Monterey Jack
Cilantro sprigs, very thinly sliced radish, and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add oil and chicken; cook, flipping once, until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly; shred with two forks.
  • Divide 1/4 cup salsa among four 6-inch, 1 1/2-cup shallow baking dishes. Layer in 12 tortilla quarters, another 1/2 cup salsa, half of shredded chicken, and 3/4 cup cheese, dividing evenly among dishes. Repeat layering. Finish with remaining 12 tortilla quarters, followed by remaining salsa and cheese.
  • Place dishes on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bubbly and tops are golden brown in spots, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving, with accompaniments.

These enchilada pies are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the creamy green sauce and they don't even realize they're eating spinach.

These enchilada pies are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few cups of cooked chicken in the freezer and this is a great way to use it up.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more cheese to the filling. Other than that, it's perfect!
