Chicken Enchiladas With Green Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas (1 at a time) for 5 seconds on each side to soften and make them pliable. Add more oil to pan as needed. Drain between layers of paper towel and keep warm.
• Divide chicken, 10 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese, and onion among the 12 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture begins to boil. Slowly add broth, stirring with a whisk until thickened. Mix in the sour cream and chiles, heating thoroughly but do not boil, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture over the enchiladas.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and bake for 5 more minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.

Spread remaining chicken mixture over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture.
• Cover baking dish with aluminum foil; refrigerate at least 12 hours to overnight.
• Remove baking dish from refrigerator. Keep dish at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a pot with enough water to cover, boil the chicken 25 minutes, or until juices run clear. Drain, cool, and shred.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
• Fill each tortilla with equal amounts of chicken and cheese, reserving 1/4 cup cheese for topping. Roll tortillas to form enchiladas. Arrange enchiladas in the prepared baking dish. Cover with the enchilada sauce.
• Bake enchiladas 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Top with reserved cheese, and continue baking 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.

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.
• Place remaining chicken on top of that.
• Pour rest of the green sauce.
• Cover with cheese and season with Mexican seasoning.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes. Cheese should be bubbling and lightly browned.

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.

Steps:

• Make the tomatillo salsa: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the tomatillos are softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender. Add the lime juice and cilantro. Process until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
• For the enchiladas: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon a little of the tomatillo salsa in the bottom of the dish.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and cumin and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Combine the onion mixture, chicken, queso fresco, sour cream and 2 cups Monterey Jack in a large bowl.
• Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 1 minute to soften. Divide the chicken filling evenly among the tortillas and roll up, burrito-style. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Pour the remaining salsa on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 to 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly and the enchiladas are warmed through, 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with queso fresco, cilantro and red onion, if desired.

Steps:

• Place chicken pieces in large pot and cover with 1 1/2 quarts water.
• Add celery, onion,salt and pepper and cook until chicken is tender, about 40 minutes.
• Remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool. Strain stock and reduce further, if necessary, until 1 quart remains;reserve for sauce.
• For Sauce :.
• Combine all ingredients except butter and flour in large saucepan.
• Bring to boil over medium heat,stirring occasionally,and skimming foam off as it rises to the surface.
• Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is the consistancy of puree (about 1 hour) gently piercing tomatillos with a fork as they become soft.
• Strain sauce and return to pan.
• Combine butter and flour to form a paste;add to sauce and cook over medium heat until sauce returns to boil and thickens slightly.
• Set aside and keep hot.
• For filling :.
• Combine peppers, onion, tomatoes, and chilies in a large skillet.
• Place over medium heat and cook until soft, stirring constantly and moistening with chicken stock if necessary.
• Remove meat from cooled chicken and shred.
• Add chicken to filling and cook a few minutes more. Mix well and salt and pepper to taste.
• To assemble :.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• Lightly oil skillet and fry tortillas about 10 to 20 seconds on each side until soft.
• Roll each tortilla gently in paper towel to remove excess oil and keep pliable.
• Place about 1/4 cup filling in each tortilla, roll up and place seam side down in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish.
• Top each with a thin slice of cheese.
• Bake until heated through and cheese melts, about 20 minutes.
• Cover with hot green sauce, and top each enchilada with sour cream and olive slices.Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine chicken, 1/2 of the onion, peppercorns, salt, and bay leaf in a small pot. Cover with water and bring to a slow boil. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and shred meat with a fork. Discard broth or reserve for another use.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in remaining onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion to a bowl and mix in shredded chicken, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, and cotija cheese.
• Combine tomatillos, green chiles, cream, cilantro, serrano pepper, egg, and salt for sauce in a blender; blend until smooth.
• Stuff warmed tortillas with chicken mixture. Roll and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Pour all sauce over top. It may seem runny, but it will set up. Sprinkle remaining Monterey Jack on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 20 minutes.
