Philadelphia Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas Recipes

CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
• Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the chicken breasts in boiling water until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a cutting board to cool.
• Beat cream cheese, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Stir tomatoes, green onion, green chiles, cilantro, and lime juice into the cream cheese mixture. Add 1 cup Cheddar cheese and fold to integrate.
• Shred cooled chicken with a pair of forks into strands; stir into the cream cheese mixture. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla and fold tortilla around the filling; arrange into the prepared baking dish. Top tortillas with remaining Cheddar cheese and green enchilada sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, then spray with cooking spray.
• Combine salsa and cream cheese in a large pan over medium heat; cook and stir until cream cheese has melted and mixture is creamy and thoroughly combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Spoon chicken mixture into tortillas and roll into enchiladas. Place, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Top with enchilada sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Top with Mexican cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes more. Serve hot.

PHILADELPHIA CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Stir chicken, bell pepper, cream cheese, and 1/2 cup salsa in saucepan on low heat until cream cheese is melted.
• Spoon 1/3 cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up. Place seam side down in a lightly gresed 12X8 inch baking dish.
• Stir Velveeta ( I use Aldi brand)and 1/4 cup milk in saucepan on low heat until cheese is melted. Pour sauce over tortillas; cover with foil which has been lightly sprayed on the underside with non-stick spray.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Pour remaining salsa over the top.
• I serve with sour cream, extra salsa, and tortilla chips.
• The prep time is an estimate; if you keep precooked, chopped chicken on hand the prep time is next to nothing.
