Jessica Albas Chicken Enchiladas Recipe Epicuriouscom

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°.
• In a medium pot, boil stock, chicken, jalapeño and garlic 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• Strain chicken, run cold water over it and shred into a bowl.
• Mix in salsa and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine cheddar, 1/4 cup Monterey Jack, cilantro and olives; set aside.
• In a large pot over medium heat, combine enchilada sauces and add Mexican hot sauce and cayenne to taste.
• Stir until simmering.
• Set aside.
• Coat an 11" x 13" casserole pan with nonstick spray.
• Microwave tortillas 20 seconds.
• Place small handfuls of cheese mixture and chicken in center of each tortilla, roll up and place in pan, seam side down.
• Sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture.
• Ladle on sauce, then add remaining 1/4 cup Monterey Jack.
• Bake 20 minutes. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• One at a time, hold the tortillas over the stovetop burner (heated to medium heat) to brown slightly, about 30 seconds per side. Set the warmed tortillas aside.
• In a bowl, mix together the cumin, chili powder, Cajun spice, salt and pepper. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with the spice mix.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken on both sides until done in the middle and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate to cool, then shred finely with a fork.
• Throw the onions into the same skillet, stir them around and cook until deep golden brown and caramelized, 4 to 5 minutes; set them aside on a plate. Pour the enchilada sauce into the skillet and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to warm through.
• To assemble the enchiladas: Pour 2 cups of the sauce into a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish and leave the rest in the skillet. Dip a tortilla into the sauce in the skillet, then lay it on a baking sheet or plate. Sprinkle some cheese down the middle, followed by some chicken and finally, some of the caramelized onions. Roll it up tightly, then place it seam-side down in the casserole dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Pour the rest of the sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle on the rest of the cheese. Give it a final sprinkling of chili powder.
• Bake until hot and bubbly, 30 minutes. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
• Serve the enchiladas topped with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of diced tomatoes, a sprinkling of cilantro and a wedge of lime.

Steps:

• Sauté onion in olive oil until tender; add chicken, 1/4 cup enchilada sauce, cream cheese, and cumin; cook and stir until cream cheese is melted; stir in 1 cup of grated cheese then remove from heat.
• Divide chicken mixture among tortillas, placing an equal portion onto each; roll enchiladas up tightly and place seam side down in a 9x13" baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with no-stick cooking spray; top with remaining enchilada sauce and grated cheese.
• Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and enchiladas are heated through.
• NOTE: Two cups diced cooked chicken is equal to about one pound uncooked meat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking pan with Reynolds Wrap® 18-inch Wide Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil. Grease or spray foil to prevent sticking. Combine chicken and soup with half of sour cream, cheese and cilantro.
• Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla roll up. Place, seam sides down, in foil lined pan. Top with salsa and remaining cheese. Cover with foil.
• Bake 15 minutes remove foil. Continue baking 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with cilantro and sour cream.
