CHICKEN AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS
A little different version of a family favorite. Whenever we grill or smoke chicken I always request that my husband do a little extra, so that there is enough to make chicken enchiladas the next night.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine chicken breast with chicken broth, one quarter onion, a clove of garlic, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, and then boil for 20 minutes. Reserve broth, set chicken aside to cool, and discard onion and garlic. When cool enough to handle, shred chicken with your hands.
- Place tomatillos and serrano chiles in a pot with water, enough to cover them. Bring to boil, and continue boiling until tomatillos turn a different shade of green (from bright green to a dull, army green). Strain tomatillos and chiles, and place in a blender with another quarter piece of onion, 1 clove garlic, and a pinch of salt. Pour in reserved chicken broth, so that liquid just covers the veggies in the blender by about an inch. Blend all ingredients until they are completely pureed. Pour salsa in a medium saucepan, and bring to a low boil.
- Pour oil in a frying pan, and allow to get very hot. Slightly fry tortillas one by one in hot oil, setting each on a paper towel afterwards to soak some of the oil. Finally, dip slightly fried tortillas in low-boiling green salsa, until tortillas become soft again. Place on plates, 3 per person.
- Fill or top tortillas with shredded chicken, then extra green sauce. Top with crumbled cheese, chopped onion, and chopped cilantro.

- Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large, deep skillet of boiling water, cook the husked tomatillos and jalapeño over moderately high heat until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain the tomatillos and jalapeño, then transfer them to a blender and puree until the salsa verde is smooth.
- Wipe out the skillet and heat the 1/4 cup of olive oil in it. Add the salsa and bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon a few tablespoons of the salsa into each of two shallow 5-by-10-inch baking dishes.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1/4 inch of olive oil until shimmering. Using tongs, dip a tortilla in the hot oil until coated and cook over medium heat, turning once, until pliable, about 10 seconds. With the tongs, carefully lift the tortilla out of the oil and dip it into the hot salsa, making sure to coat both sides. Transfer the tortilla to a large plate. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, stacking them on the plate.
- Arrange 8 of the tortillas on a work surface and spoon the shredded chicken in the center of each one; season with salt and pepper. Roll the tortillas into loose cylinders and transfer them to one of the prepared baking dishes, seam sides down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, filling them with the shredded cheddar cheese. Spoon the remaining salsa verde over the enchiladas and sprinkle them with the crumbled queso fresco. Bake for about 30 minutes until the enchiladas are hot and the salsa is bubbling. Serve the enchiladas with the sour cream, lime wedges, cilantro, onion, tomatoes and additional queso fresco on the side.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease a 9x12 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the chicken thighs to one side of the pan. Add the tomatillos, jalapeno, onion, and garlic to the other side. Drizzle everything evenly with olive oil. Use hands to evenly coat chicken and vegetables with olive oil. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Flip and sprinkle with another 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast until the tomatillos, onion and jalapenos are roasted and caramelized and the chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. At the 20-minute mark, check to see if the chicken is done. If an instant read thermometer reads 165, the chicken is done. Pull the chicken off the sheet pan and set aside. Continue to roast until tomatillos are caramelized. Turn the oven down to 375 degrees.
- Halve the jalapeno and remove the seeds and stems. Remove the peel/skin from the onion and garlic. Transfer the tomatillos, onion, garlic, 1/2 the jalapeno, 1/2 teaspoon salt, lime juice, 1/4 cup of the chicken stock, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, garlic powder, and cilantro to a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and see if you want to add any more jalapeno. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away. If needed, add a little more chicken stock to get to desired sauce consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
