Steps:
- Place chicken in a pot just large enough to hold chicken breast halves and add enough water to cover by 1-inch.
- Bring just to a simmer over medium-high heat where bubbles start forming around the edge of the pot. Reduce to medium-low to keep the temperature constant, about 170 to 180°F. Cook until the center of the meat reaches 160°F, about 15 to 18 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and let them cool in the refrigerator. Once cool, shred and reserve.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a large sauté pan heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add corn and sauté until cooked through or warmed for canned corn, stirring frequently. Add the diced chili's, and stir to combine. Add the shredded cooked chicken and 3 tablespoons sliced green onions, stir to combine. Reserve until ready to fill the enchiladas.
- In a blender, puree avocado, salsa verde, and sour cream until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a blender, puree pumpkin, garlic cloves, jalapeno, cumin, black pepper, salt, chicken broth, and water until smooth. Pour 1 cup of sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Lay tortillas on work surface; mound chicken mixture on half of each tortilla and dividing evenly, about ⅓ cup of filling. Roll up tortillas; place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour remaining sauce on top; sprinkle with cheese. Place dish on a baking sheet; bake until cheese is golden and sauce is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with 1 tablespoon green onions, cilantro, and cotija cheese. Serve with avocado cream topping.

Steps:
- Make the sauce by pulsing the jalapeno and garlic in a food processor or blender to mince, then adding the remaining sauce ingredients and processing to combine. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the onion and bell pepper. Season with a little salt and pepper and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the green chilies during the last minute.
- In a large bowl, combine the sauteed onions and peppers with the cooked, shredded chicken and 1/2 cup of the pepperjack cheese. Season with a little salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well.
- Warm the tortillas for 45 seconds in the microwave until warm and pliable, then fill each tortilla with chicken mixture and roll them up. Spread 1 cup of the pumpkin enchilada sauce in the bottom of a large rectangular baking dish, then place the rolled tortillas in the sauce, seam side down. Cover with the remaining sauce and cheese, then bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are hot.
- Sprinkle with the green onions, chopped cilantro, and avocado, and serve.

ENCHILADAS WITH PUMPKIN SAUCE
I found this recipe in the Star Tribune last weekend and thought I'd give it a try. The pumpkin sauce is very creamy and luscious- it would be great with pasta I think. I made a few changes- added a can of corn to the filling and added an additional 15 0z. can of pumpkin to the sauce after I realized the original recipe made a thinner sauce than I wanted (alternatively, I could have added less water, but it was too late). This is really great comfort food!
