GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.
• Add olive oil to a pot over medium heat. Add in onions and saute 4 minutes. Add in garlic and saute an additional 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour and stir well.
• Slowly add in chicken broth, stirring constantly, until a sauce forms. Add in diced green chile, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, and salt to taste. Blend, if desired
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add in chicken breasts and boil until cooked through, about 20 - 25 minutes.
• Remove chicken from the pot, shred with two forks, and transfer to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1 tsp ground cumin. Stir well.
• Warm tortillas up in the microwave for 30 - 60 seconds, until pliable. Add 2 - 3 tbsp of cooked chicken to the center of each tortilla, then top with 1 tbsp of cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Pour green chile sauce over the rolled enchiladas (I use about a cup, but you can adjust to your preferences). Top with remaining shredded cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 degrees, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

1-HOUR CHICKEN GREEN CHILE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and add jalapenos, tomato, onions, garlic salt and pepper. Saute until softened, about 7-8 minutes. If the vegetables get too dry, add a few tablespoons of water.
• Add canned chicken with juices to the pot, breaking up the chicken into little pieces. Mix well and saute until almost dry, about 7-8 minutes. When done, set aside to cool.
• While chicken mixture is cooking, put green salsa, yogurt, water and garlic into a blender and blend on high until liquified. Set aside.
• Heat 1/2 cup oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Using tongs, slide in a tortilla until one side is coated with oil, then flip over and coat the other side. It should sizzle slightly and the tortilla may puff up a bit. Allow excess oil to drip from tortilla back into pan. Remove after a few seconds on each side to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Divide cheese in half and set 2 cups aside to top enchiladas.
• Using a spoon, divide chicken mixture into 10 small piles. Do the same with 2 cups of the cheese.
• To assemble enchiladas, have a 9x13 inch baking pan ready. Take a tortilla and spread 1 pile of chicken mixture in a line down the center. Sprinkle with 1 pile of cheese. Roll tightly and place in one end of the baking pan seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Pour green chile sauce over enchiladas, making sure they are all completely covered. Sprinkle evenly with remaining cheese and bake for 20 minutes.
• If you like a browned top, broil for a few minutes, keeping a close eye on them so as not to burn. Top with green onions and serve.
