Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas image

I love to experiment with Mexican and Italian dishes. This is a recipe that a friend gave me that I tweaked to my family's liking. Instead of frying the tortillas, these are dipped in Chicken Broth. ;) You'll never miss the oil and the enchiladas are moist and flavorful. ;)

Time 1h

Yield 18 enchiladas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 (7 ounce) cans fire roasted diced green chilies, mild
1 (4 ounce) can fire roasted diced green chilies, hot
1 small onion, diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons minced garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 (14 ounce) can garlic roasted seasoned chicken broth
2 cups chicken broth, divided
18 (7 -8 inch) corn tortillas
3 cups shredded cooked chicken, see note
2 cups monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend (mexican blend shredded)
sour cream (optional)

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.

These enchiladas were easy to make and so delicious! I used rotisserie chicken to save time, and the enchiladas still turned out great. The green chile sauce was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.

I've made these enchiladas several times now, and they're always a hit. I love that I can use rotisserie chicken to save time. The green chile sauce is also very versatile. I've used it to make other dishes, such as tacos and burritos.

I'm not a huge fan of green chiles, but I decided to give these enchiladas a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The green chile sauce was not too spicy, and it was the perfect complement to the chicken. I will definitely be making these again.
