Categories     Main Course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 chicken breasts, cooked & shredded or finely chopped ((about 3 cups))
1 tbsp oil
1/2 cup red onion, cut in a small dice
3 plump garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 10 ounce cans red mild enchilada sauce, divided
10-12 tortillas - flour (fajita size) (**see note if using corn tortillas)
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
pinch red pepper flakes
2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese, divided
6 green onions, chopped- white and light green parts only

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • In a large non-stick skillet saute the 1/2 cup diced onions and 3 chopped garlic cloves in the oil over medium heat. About 5 minutes until the onions are slightly translucent.
  • Add the 3 cups cooked chicken, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, pinch red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and 1/3 cup enchilada sauce. Stir to coat the chicken with all the seasonings and sauce.
  • Prepare a 9x13 glass baking dish by pouring the remaining 2/3 of the opened can of enchilada sauce to the bottom of the pan.
  • Now set up an assembly line for your enchiladas. Tortillas, chicken filling, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and the prepared pan.
  • Place a few spoonfuls of chicken down the center of one tortilla and top with a few pinches of cheese. Roll the tortilla over the filling and lay it, seam side down, in the prepared pan. Continue this process until all the tortillas and filling are used. You will have 10-12 enchiladas.
  • Top the rolled enchiladas with the remaining can of sauce, remaining cup of cheese and all the green onions.
  • Cover the pan with foil and place in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
  • Let the Chicken Enchiladas cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

ANGELA'S AWESOME ENCHILADAS



Angela's Awesome Enchiladas image

The secret is in the seasonings! I whipped these up on my own using stuff I had on hand. Shredding the chicken is the most time-consuming step, but it's worth it in the end. Give these babies a try! Serve with sour cream and a side of Spanish rice.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cut into chunks
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 ¼ cups sour cream
¼ teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
1 (1.25 ounce) package mild taco seasoning mix
1 bunch green onions, chopped, divided
1 cup water
1 teaspoon lime juice
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
5 (12 inch) flour tortillas
3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken pieces are no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Shred chicken by placing two forks back to back and pulling meat apart. Set the shredded chicken aside. Meanwhile, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chili powder in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, taco seasoning, half of the bunch of chopped green onion, and water. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the lime juice, onion powder, and garlic powder; simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir 1 cup of the soup mixture into the skillet with the chicken mixture. Spread the remaining soup mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the chicken filling before folding the tortillas, reserving half of the shredded cheese for topping the enchiladas. Fold tortillas over the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
  • Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Cover with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the reserved chopped green onions and the sliced olives on top of the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN ENCHILADA RECIPE YOU'LL EVER TRY...



The Absolute Best Chicken Enchilada Recipe You'll Ever Try... image

I came across this recipe about three years ago on TOH's website. It originally called for 10 flour tortillas (6 inches), but I found my alteration to the recipe to be much better. I have also substituted on occasion pintos for black beans, and used Pace Picante sauce instead of the salsa. This recipe has become a staple at my house.
