INSTANT POT® CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Instant Pot® Chicken Enchiladas image

I created this recipe many years ago for my hubby who does not like the traditional sour cream sauce on his chicken enchiladas. It's been a hit with family and friends ever since. Now with our Instant Pot® it's been improved and made better than ever! For a different take on chicken enchiladas that will make everyone happy, give this one a try!

Time 1h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, or more to taste
½ cup chicken broth
3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
2 (10 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce, divided
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
½ cup chopped onion
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped, or more to taste
olive oil
16 corn tortillas, or more to taste
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Mix chili powder, salt, and cumin together in a bowl. Rub mixture over the chicken.
  • Pour chicken broth into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add a rack to the bottom of the pot and place seasoned chicken on top. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Combine 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, 1 can green enchilada sauce, green chiles, onions, and jalapenos in a large mixing bowl. Stir to thoroughly blend.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Transfer cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred or chop into small pieces. Add to the mixing bowl with the cheese mixture. Stir until chicken mixture is blended.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet. Soften tortillas 1 at a time by dipping into the hot oil for 2 to 3 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons chicken mixture onto a tortilla, roll up, and place seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and mixture.
  • Combine 1 can green enchilada sauce and red enchilada sauce in a bowl and pour over enchiladas in the baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

  • Set the Instant Pot to SAUTE and add the oil. Once hot and shimmering, add the chicken breasts in a single layer. Sear on each side for 2-3 minutes, just until brown (the chicken does not need to be cooked through). Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Turn the Instant Pot OFF. Splash the water into the pot and with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, scrape up any stuck-on bits of food. Return the chicken to the pot, then pour a generous ½ cup of enchilada sauce (that’s about half of a 10-ounce can) over the top of the chicken.
  • Lock the lid in place. Cook on manual (high) pressure for 8 minutes. As soon as the time is up, vent immediately. Carefully open the lid. Check the chicken for doneness. It should register 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer (if it is not done, reseal and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes as needed; I find that if the chicken is at 160 degrees F, covering it and letting it rest for a few minutes will bring it to temperature.) Remove the chicken to a plate. Turn the Instant Pot to saute and bring the cooking liquid to a simmer. Let simmer until the liquid thickens and reduces by roughly half, about 5 minutes, stirring periodically.

  • Hit “Sauté” on the Instant Pot and adjust so it’s on the “Less” or “Low” setting. Melt the butter and constantly whisk in the flour as it will bubble and thicken. This is called a “roux” (how fancy French of you)
  • Once the roux has become just LIGHTLY brown in color, add in the chicken broth and give it a stir. Then, add in the chicken thighs
  • Secure lid, hit “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” High Pressure for 8 minutes. Quick release when done and turn the Instant Pot off so the sauce cools down a bit for about 5 minutes (this is important so the sour cream won’t bunch up and curdle). Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Remove the chicken with tongs, place in a mixing bowl (with about 2 tbsp of the broth for moisture), let cool for about 5 minutes and shred using two forks (or be lazy and use a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer with the paddle attachment). Once the chicken is slightly cooled add 2 cups of the Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese. Mix together well
