Ingredients

Filling:

3 c. Water

1/4 tsp. Salt

Dash black pepper

1 onion, quartered

1 bay leaf

1 pound, skinless chicken pieces (I use thigh meat)

1 1/2 c. Mexican blend shredded cheese, divided

1/2 c. Chopped onion

1 green Chile, diced

Sauce:

2/3 c. Milk (I use 2/3 c. Cooled chicken broth with milk powder added)

1/4 c. Chopped fresh cilantro

1 egg

1/8 tsp. Salt

1 (11oz) can tomatillos, drained

1 (4.5oz) can diced green Chiles, undrained

Remaining ingredients:

8 (6") corn tortillas

2/3 c. Sour cream

Directions

To prepare filling, place the first 6 ingredients in a large pot; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes. Remove chicken from cooking liquid; saving liquid to use in softening tortillas, cool. Remove chicken from bones; shred with 2 forks. Discard bones.

Preheat oven to 375*

Combine chicken, 3/4 c. Of shredded cheese, chopped onion, and diced green Chile in a bowl, set aside.

To prepare sauce, place milk and next 5 ingredients (milk through Chiles) in a blender and blend until smooth.

To prepare tortillas, fill medium skillet with 1" of reserved chicken broth; bring to a simmer. Dip 1 tortillas in using tongs to soften. Spoon 1/2 c. Filling in center of tortilla, roll tightly and place in an 11"x7" baking dish. Repeat procedure with remaining tortillas and filling.

Pour sauce over enchiladas. Cover and bake at 375* for 20 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes, uncovered, until cheese melts. Top with sour cream.

Serve with shredded lettuce and Salsa Verde

Slightly different recipe then the one i use, but looks like it would taste the same which is excellent! love these enchiladas so much made them for X-mas dinner. no turkey at our house. pulled out the big guns - green chili enchiladas! btw, they freeze great so make plenty when you do go to the trouble.
