Chicken Enchiladas La Victoria Green Ench Sauce Recipes

DELICIOUS CHICKEN ENCHILADAS (WITH GREEN SAUCE)

Steps:

• I HAVE TWO WAYS --
• **********The First way**********.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Shred chicken into a medium sized bowl (This is probably my least favorite thing to do).
• Add Mexican seasoning, salt and pepper, basil, and green chiles to shredded chicken.
• Place oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
• Place 3 tortillas on a paper towel, place in microwave for 20 sec.
• Immediately, start putting the chicken mixture into the tortilla, roll up, place in oil.
• Flip over when one side is light brown.
• Remove from skillet, tilt the rolled tortilla to drain excess oil onto paper towel, place in large pan.
• Repeat process until all the chicken is gone.
• Empty the entire Green Sauce on top of the rolled tortillas.
• Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover entire pan. (I like mine SUPER cheesy!).
• Lightly season with mexican seasoning.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes. Cheese should be bubbling and lightly browned.
• *******The Second Way*******.
• This method entirely omits the oil and frying.
• Grease the bottom of the baking pan with Pam.
• Place 8 corn tortillas on the bottom of the pan.
• Place half of the chicken mixture on top of that.
• Pour between 1/4 to 1/2 of the green sauce can onto the mixture.
• Place 8 more tortillas on top.
• Place remaining chicken on top of that.
• Pour rest of the green sauce.
• Cover with cheese and season with Mexican seasoning.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes. Cheese should be bubbling and lightly browned.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH GREEN CHILE SAUCE (SALSA VERDE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Combine chicken, onion mixture, cheese blend, cream cheese, salsa verde, olives, cilantro, and jalapenos in a large bowl for the filling. Mix well.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, then chicken broth. Cook until sauce starts to thicken, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in sour cream and salsa verde; cook until heated through. Spread a spoonful of sauce over the bottoms of two 9x11-inch casserole dishes.
• Wrap a tortilla in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds. Fill with the chicken mixture, roll up, and place seam-side down into a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas until each dish holds 8 enchiladas.
• Spoon remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH CREAMY GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas (1 at a time) for 5 seconds on each side to soften and make them pliable. Add more oil to pan as needed. Drain between layers of paper towel and keep warm.
• Divide chicken, 10 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese, and onion among the 12 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture begins to boil. Slowly add broth, stirring with a whisk until thickened. Mix in the sour cream and chiles, heating thoroughly but do not boil, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture over the enchiladas.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and bake for 5 more minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.
