A quick and easy fix when you are having a crowd over. I fixed this for a Super Bowl Party this year. I got it from William Sonoma and then made a few changes

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs chicken thighs
2 tablespoons salt
1 cup vegetable oil
15 tortillas
1 (30 ounce) jar chili verde starter
1 lb monterey jack cheese, schredded
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1 cup of crumbles queso anejo or 1 cup feta cheese

Steps:

  • Put the chicken thighs in a large pot, add water to cover and stir in the salt. Bring o a simmer over medium heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Drain the chicken. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones, discarding the skin and shredding the meat.
  • Pre-heat oven - 400℉ . Lightly grease a 9x13 roastingpan. WS had a pan for sale that was deeper then.
  • the dishes I had and that they recommended, but I couldn't see buying another pan.
  • In a saute' pan over a medium heat, warm the oil. Using tongs , quickly pass each tortilla through the hot oil until softened, 2-3 seconds. Drain on a paper towel-lines baking sheet.
  • Pour ½ cup of the chili verde into the prepared roasting pan and spread evenly. Place 3 tortillas on top. Top with 1 cup of chicken, 1 cup of jack cheese and ½ cup of chili verde starter. Repeat the layering 4 times, ending with a layer of tortillas. Top with the remaining ½ cup of chili verde starter and the remaining jack cheese.
  • Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Sprinkles the red onion, cilantro and queso anejo cheese on top. Serve warm.
  • NOW, WHEN I DID IT I CHEATED AND USED THE ROASTED CHICKEN FROM THE STORE.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my enchiladas didn't turn out very well. The chicken was tough and the sauce was too spicy.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I would add more spices next time.

The chicken in these enchiladas was a bit dry, but the green chile sauce was delicious.
