WHITE CHICKEN OR TURKEY ENCHILADAS



White Chicken or Turkey Enchiladas image

I first made these for my family while I was in my teens. They are so different and delicious, that I have made them now for three decades. It's a great way to use leftover chicken or, particularly, turkey.

Provided by Debbie R.

Categories     Poultry

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cooked chicken breasts (or equivalent turkey)
8 ounces low-fat cream cheese
1 cup half & half light cream (or use cream)
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
salt and pepper
4 ounces butter
6 -12 corn tortillas
8 ounces gruyere cheese
cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Section meat and mix lightly with cream cheese.
  • Form into logs about 1 inch in diameter and a little shorter than the diameter of your corn tortillas.
  • Stir salt, pepper, vinegar and chili powder into cream. If everyone you're serving like heat, add cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Melt butter. Coat both sides of a tortilla generously, then put a chicken/cheese log in the middle of a tortilla and roll up. Lay enchilada in pan (seam side down). Repeat for all tortillas and logs.
  • Cover enchiladas with cream mixture and slices of Gruyere.
  • Bake at 375 degrees until lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Note that cooking time is only approximate.
  • Using evaporated skim milk in place of the cream does not work well. If doubled, add 1 cup milk to cream rather than using 2 cups of cream.

CHICKEN OR TURKEY ENCHILADAS



Chicken or Turkey Enchiladas image

This is a take on a recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, January 1997. The original recipe calls for turkey, which we use occasionally, but we love to have this at other times throughout the year with chicken.

Provided by Paula

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 enchiladas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup onion, chopped
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened (Neufchatel)
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 cups cooked turkey breast or 4 cups cooked chicken breasts, shredded
12 (7 -8 inch) flour tortillas
nonstick spray coating
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can low-sodium condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (8 ounce) carton light sour cream
1 cup 2% low-fat milk
2 -4 tablespoons pickled jalapeno peppers, finely minced (May substitute 1-4 oz can diced green chilies, if you prefer it more mild)
1/2 cup Mexican blend cheese (I use Sargento brand)
1/4 cup cilantro (optional) or 1/4 cup parsley, minced (optional)
1/4 cup tomatoes, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup sweet red pepper, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan cook onion, covered, in a small amount of water over medium heat until tender; drain.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, the 1 tablespoons.
  • water, cumin, pepper, and salt.
  • Stir in the cooked onion and chicken.
  • Wrap the tortillas in foil.
  • Heat in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until softened (if using a microwave, wrap the tortillas in a microwave-safe paper towel and micro-cook on high for 30 to 60 seconds until softened).
  • Meanwhile, spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick coating.
  • For each enchilada, spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto one tortilla; roll up.
  • Place the tortilla, seam side down, in the baking dish.
  • Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas.
  • For the sauce, in a medium mixing bowl combine soup, sour cream, milk, and jalapeno peppers; pour mixture over the enchiladas.
  • Bake covered, in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes or until heated through.
  • Sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Bake the enchiladas, uncovered, for 4 to 5 minutes more until the cheese is melted.
  • Garnish with cilantro, parsley, tomatoes, and sweet peppers if desired.
  • NOTE: Usually I don't have chicken prepared in advance, so I use 4 chicken breast halves and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and cumin.
  • I either saute these or grill them until no longer pink.
  • I shred the meat and proceed as usual with the recipe.
  • The time to make does not include this step.
