Ingredients

Filling:

3 C Water

1/4 tsp. Salt

8 Black Peppercorns

1 Onion, quartered

1 Bay Leaf

1 pound skinless, Chicken Breast halves

3/4 C (3 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided

3/4 C (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat extra-sharp Cheddar Cheese, divided

1/2 C chopped Onion

Sauce:

2/3 C 2% reduced-fat Milk

1/4 C chopped fresh cilantro (I omit this)

1/4 C Egg Substitute

1/8 tsp. Salt

1 (11-ounce) can Tomatillos, drained

1 (4.4-ounce) can chopped Green Chilies, undrained

Remaining Ingredients:

8 (6-inch) corn tortillas

2/3 C fat-free Sour Cream

Directions

To prepare filling, place first 6 ingredients in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes. Remove chicken from cooking liquid; cool. Remove chicken from bones; shred with 2 forks. Discard bones. Reserved broth for another use.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine chicken, 1/2 C each Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, and 1/2 C onion in a bowl; set aside.

To prepare sauce, place milk and next five ingredients (milk through chiles) in a food processor; process until smooth.

To prepare tortillas, fill a medium skillet with 1 inch of water; bring to a simmer. Dip 1 tortilla in water using tongs. Spoon 1/2 C filling in center of tortilla; roll tightly, and place in an 11 X 7-inch baking dish. Repeat procedure with remaining tortillas and filling.

Pour sauce over enchiladas. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with 1/4 C each Monterey Jack and cheddar. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheeses melt. Top with sour cream.

This looks great! But with all these lowfat ingredients ... I can see I'm going to have to corrupt you, my cooking friend! (That's a joke, BTW, I use lf & ff too, especially when it won't show, like in enchiladas!)
