Chicken Enchiladas With Green And Red Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH GREEN SAUCE AND LONG-GRAIN RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, add the sliced onion and minced garlic, saute for about 2 minutes. Then add the chicken slices and cook until chicken is a nice golden brown. Turn the heat up a touch and add the bell pepper slices and dried chili flakes. Once chicken is no longer pink remove from the heat and place the mixture into a bowl.
• In a small skillet add 1 cup oil. When oil is warm submerge a tortilla for 10 to 15 seconds or until soft. This will soften them and make rolling a lot easier. Drain on paper towels and repeat this process until all tortillas have been softened. Pour 1 cup of Green Sauce on bottom of the baking dish to cover. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, roll them up. Place seam side down on top of the sauce in the baking dish. Pour the remaining green sauce over them and spread the cheese mix evenly over the top. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve with long-grain rice.
• For the Green Sauce:
• Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until a nice salsa consistency is reached.
• For the Rice: Pour 3 cups of hot water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Rinse the rice well in a bowl under cold water and drain. This will remove surface starch and will be less sticky. Place the rinsed and drained rice into the saucepan, cover and cook until al dente, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add fresh cilantro and lime juice and serve.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH CREAMY GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper; place with garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine salsa and cream.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Once chicken is cool enough to handle, shred meat, discarding skin and bones. Peel and chop garlic. In a large bowl, combine chicken, garlic, and 1/2 cup salsa mixture.
• Stack tortillas flat, and wrap in damp paper towels; microwave on high for 1 minute to soften. Working with one tortilla at a time, dip in salsa mixture, lay flat, and fill with 1/3 cup chicken mixture. Roll up and arrange, seam side down, 8 enchiladas lengthwise and 4 crosswise in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with remaining salsa mixture, then cheese.
• Bake until cheese is browned and salsa is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes; let rest 10 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with cilantro, if desired.

EASY RED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Melt butter with olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and salt; cook and stir until onion starts to turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour, chile powder, cumin, chipotle powder, black pepper, oregano, cayenne, and cinnamon. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and mix until fully combined. Pour in chicken broth and whisk until smooth.
• Increase heat to high and bring sauce to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors come together, about 10 minutes. Taste and season as desired. Blend sauce with an immersion blender.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Lightly brush tortillas with oil. Heat a small cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Heat tortillas until flexible, about 30 seconds per side.
• Cover the bottom of the skillet with a scoop of enchilada sauce. Place a tortilla on top and add 1/2 of the chicken, 1/3 of the Jack cheese, and 1/2 the cilantro and green onions. Spoon on more sauce and repeat layers, finishing with sauce and the remaining cheese.

DELICIOUS CHICKEN ENCHILADAS (WITH GREEN SAUCE)

Steps:

• I HAVE TWO WAYS --
• **********The First way**********.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Shred chicken into a medium sized bowl (This is probably my least favorite thing to do).
• Add Mexican seasoning, salt and pepper, basil, and green chiles to shredded chicken.
• Place oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
• Place 3 tortillas on a paper towel, place in microwave for 20 sec.
• Immediately, start putting the chicken mixture into the tortilla, roll up, place in oil.
• Flip over when one side is light brown.
• Remove from skillet, tilt the rolled tortilla to drain excess oil onto paper towel, place in large pan.
• Repeat process until all the chicken is gone.
• Empty the entire Green Sauce on top of the rolled tortillas.
• Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover entire pan. (I like mine SUPER cheesy!).
• Lightly season with mexican seasoning.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes. Cheese should be bubbling and lightly browned.
• *******The Second Way*******.
• This method entirely omits the oil and frying.
• Grease the bottom of the baking pan with Pam.
• Place 8 corn tortillas on the bottom of the pan.
• Place half of the chicken mixture on top of that.
• Pour between 1/4 to 1/2 of the green sauce can onto the mixture.
• Place 8 more tortillas on top.
