RED PEPPER SAUCE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Red Pepper Sauce Chicken Enchiladas image

The red pepper sauce on these chicken enchiladas really makes these stand out. Easily prepared and healthy! If I don't have leftover chicken, I use 3 chicken breasts (about 1.3 lbs). I throw the chicken in the microwave with 1 Tbl. water in a covered glass dish. Micro High 5 minutes, turning once. If more time is needed, I micro 50% power for 2 more minutes. I like to shred the chicken with my fingers, but if I'm in a pinch for time, I just chop it in small dices. Another hint is Azteca tortillas have 2.5 grams of fat--kind of a middle ground for tortillas, not fat free, but not full fat!

  • Mix milk and cream in a small bowl and soak the slices of bread in it until the bread has softened about 2-3 minutes. Add the milk and cream mix with the softened bread into a blender, along with the roasted Poblano strips, white onion, and roasted peanuts. Process until you have a very smooth and creamy sauce.
  • Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a medium-size frying pan and pour the sauce to cook. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, whisking occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. If you prefer your sauce less thick, add 1/3 cup of chicken broth and stir to dilute it. Once your sauce is ready, set aside while you fry the tortillas.
  • In a medium-size skillet, heat the rest of the oil over medium-high heat. Slightly fry the tortillas, one by one, just enough to soften and warm them. Have a plate covered with paper towels ready to place the tortillas after frying to absorb any excess oil.
  • To form the enchiladas, fill each tortilla with a couple of tablespoons of shredded chicken; roll up tightly, and place seam-side down on a plate (I like to serve 3 enchiladas per plate). Once the three tortillas are rolled, cover with a few tablespoons of the sauce. Top with the shredded lettuce, cheese and radishes.
