THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN ENCHILADA RECIPE YOU'LL EVER TRY...



The Absolute Best Chicken Enchilada Recipe You'll Ever Try... image

I came across this recipe about three years ago on TOH's website. It originally called for 10 flour tortillas (6 inches), but I found my alteration to the recipe to be much better. I have also substituted on occasion pintos for black beans, and used Pace Picante sauce instead of the salsa. This recipe has become a staple at my house.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes with chiles, drained
2 scallions, light green and white parts only, finely chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded, deveined, and finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
Pinch salt
1 rotisserie chicken, meat removed and shredded (skin and bones discarded)
2 cups grated Cheddar
1 cup sour cream
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 (8-inch) flour tortillas

  • To prepare the salsa: Combine the tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Add a healthy pinch of salt and set aside at room temperature until ready to cook the enchiladas.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

'EASIEST EVER' CHICKEN MOLE ENCHILADAS



'Easiest Ever' Chicken Mole Enchiladas image

In Mexico, rich mole poblano is a celebratory dish, often made for special occasions, which takes about 4 days. The sauce in this recipe is a streamlined version that packs in deep and delicious flavor and is easy to make ahead and freeze, so even weekdays can be festive.

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
5 dried pasilla or anocho chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 1/2 cups hot water
2 (6-inch) corn tortillas, or handful regular tortilla chips
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 medium onions, chopped
Kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 3/4 cups chicken stock
One 3.1-ounce disk Mexican chocolate, chopped, (recommended: Ibarra*)
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, as needed
Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed
1/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup queso fresco or mild Feta

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a baking sheet, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool, then shred into small bite-sized pieces.
  • For the mole: Reconstitute the dried chiles by soaking them in 1 1/2 cups hot water for 15 minutes. Then drain and set aside. Toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until dry, crisp and golden. Tear into pieces and set aside. In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, season with a little salt and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to a blender with the chiles, tortillas, peanut butter and oregano. Pour the chicken stock over and blend until very smooth. Then transfer the sauce to a medium saute pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in the chocolate. Season the mole with salt and pepper. Reserve 1 cup of mole for garnishing the enchiladas, the rest will be used for dipping the tortillas.
  • To assemble the enchiladas: Fill a medium saute pan half way with oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, dip 1 tortilla at a time and fry just until soft and heated through, a few seconds. Lift out, let the excess oil drip off and then dip the fried tortilla directly into the warm mole (which should be right next to the pan for easy dipping) and transfer to a plate. Working quickly, put 1/3 cup of the shredded chicken in the center, being careful not to over fill. Roll the tortilla like a cigar to enclose the filling and place in a serving dish seam- side down. Continue to fill all of the tortillas and place them side-by- side. Pour the reserved mole over the top. (This recipe can be tightly wrapped and frozen for 3 weeks at this stage. To reheat: Preheat oven to 350degrees F, unwrap and bake until sauce is bubbly and enchiladas are heated through, about 20 to 25 minutes.) To serve, drizzle with a little sour cream and sprinkle with queso.

BEST CHICKEN ENCHILADAS VERDE EVER



BEST Chicken Enchiladas Verde EVER image

Found this on YouTube a few years back. It was done by a chef. I can't find it on there anymore & keep misplacing my written recipe. Figured I'd load it here for safe keeping. Although there are several similar recipes here I didn't find any quite like this one. It's great tasting & if you're in a hurry you can use a roasted chicken from the store! Prep time includes 1 hour to cook chicken if needed. If you get the precooked from the store it only takes me about 15 minutes to shred, mix & roll
