Chicken Enchiladas With Creamy Green Sauce Recipe

	Elle / All my dishes 2 years, 6 months ago These are delicious and so easy. If you don't feel like cooking the chicken on the same night, do it a day ahead, or even use a store bought precooked chicken and use that. That would shave a lot of prep time. Feel free to use mild salsa instead of medium. From Everyday Food.... More Prep:60m Cook:40m Servings:6	Elle

Ingredients

3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves

Coarse salt and ground pepper

5 garlic cloves, unpeeled

2 jars (16 ounces each) medium green salsa

3/4 cup heavy cream (I use half and half instead, because I always have it on hand.)

12 corn tortillas (6-inch)

2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, coarsely shredded

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 450.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Put chicken and garlic cloves on a rimmed baking sheet.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine salsa and cream.

Reduce oven to 350 degrees.

When the chicken is cool enough, shred meat, getting rid of skin and bones.

Peel and chop garlic.

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, garlic, and 1/2 cup salsa mixture.

Stack the tortillas, and wrap in damp paper towels.

Microwave on high for 1 minute.

Taking one tortilla at a time, dip in the salsa mixture, lay flat, and fill with 1/3 cup chicken mixture.

Roll up each tortilla and arrange, seam side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

Top with remaining salsa mixture, then cheese.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until cheese is nicely browned.

Let the enchiladas sit for 10 minutes before serving, and sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.

I made this last night and my family licked their plates! I used a few more garlic cloves, being Sicilian we love garlic and served it with mexican rice and refried beans [homeade of course!] with a little cheese grated on the top of the beans. For an appetizer, I served refried beans and salsa with homeade tortilla chips! Mmmmm This was soooo yummy! If I could give it 10 stars, I would! Regina [Trtlduv89rh@yahoo.com]
