Ingredients (serves 4):
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Tips:
- Use a rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor to the dish.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds before filling them to make them more pliable.
- Use a baking dish that is just the right size to fit the enchiladas snugly, so they don't fall apart while baking.
Cooking Process:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the shredded chicken, green chilies, and chicken broth to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream and cilantro.
5. Spread a spoonful of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
6. Pour any remaining chicken mixture over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
