Ingredients
  

  • 8 flour tortillas (8") warmed, or 12-16 corn tortillas
  • 1 lb. cooked chicken (~2 breast or 2.5 cups chopped/shredded)
  • 1 can mild green chiles (7oz., drained)
  • 4 oz. cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 3-4 cups shredded cheese of your choice
  • to taste Salt & pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced onion (optional add-in)
  • 1 batch homemade Salsa Verde
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Start by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add your homemade Salsa Verde along with the chicken broth. Allow it to simmer gently.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, drained green chiles, cream cheese, and half of your chosen shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Take each warmed tortilla and place a generous scoop of filling down the center. Roll it up tightly and place seam-side down in your baking dish.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the top of your assembled enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese over everything. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 minutes.
  5. Once baked, let your enchiladas cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
