CHEESY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS RECIPE | MYRECIPES



Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe | MyRecipes image

Trade the traditional enchilada sauce for a creamy, cheesy topping on this Mexican chicken casserole recipe. Your family will never know they're enjoying a lightened meal.

Provided by Kathy Kitchens Downie, RD

Yield 8 servings (serving size: 1 enchilada)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ½ cups chopped cooked chicken breast
2 cups (8 ounces) preshredded reduced-fat 4-cheese Mexican blend cheese
1 ⅔ cups plain low-fat yogurt
⅓ cup butter, melted
¼ cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed reduced-fat, reduced-sodium cream of chicken soup (such as Healthy Request), undiluted
1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 tablespoon canola oil
Cooking spray
½ cup (2 ounces) finely shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
¼ cup chopped green onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Combine first 9 ingredients in a large bowl. Remove 1 cup chicken mixture; set mixture aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working with 1 tortilla at a time, brush oil over both sides of tortilla. Add tortilla to pan; cook 5 seconds on each side or until toasted and soft. Remove from pan; arrange 1/2 cup chicken mixture down center of tortilla. Roll jelly-roll style; place filled tortilla, seam side down, in a 13 x 9–inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining 7 tortillas, remaining oil, and remaining chicken mixture. Spread reserved 1 cup chicken mixture evenly over enchiladas. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle evenly with cheddar cheese and green onions; bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
  • Wine note: Just as a crunchy green salad with mango will complement Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas, so too will a crisp, tropical fruit-filled California chardonnay, like Kali Hart Vineyard Chardonnay 2007 ($17). With its medium body and lively acidity, this white wine slices through creamy dairy products, like cheese and yogurt. A shot of citrus flavor and a nice bit of lingering sweetness also give it the ability to balance spicy chiles. —Jeffery Lindenmuth

CHEESY CHICKEN ENCHILADA SOUP – INSTANT POT RECIPES



Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup – Instant Pot Recipes image

Masa can be found in the international food section of most grocery stores, but if you can’t find it you can make a flour roux on the stove instead. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in 1⁄4 cup flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk the roux into the soup, then press the Sauté button and simmer until the soup thickens.

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium yellow onion (peeled and chopped)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 garlic cloves (peeled and minced)
1 small Jalapeno Pepper (seeded and minced)
1 can diced green tomatoes with green chilies (drained, 10 ounces)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
3 cups chicken broth
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts ( 6 ounces)
1/4 cup Water
3 tbsp masa
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
3 oz tortilla chips

  • Press the Sauté button on the Instant Pot® and heat oil. Add onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, tomatoes, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add broth and chicken to pot and stir well. Press the Cancel button, close lid, set steam release to Sealing, press the Soup button, and cook for the default time of 20 minutes.
  • When the timer beeps, quick-release the pressure and press the Cancel button. Open lid and transfer chicken to a cutting board. Shred meat with two forks and set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine water and masa, then whisk into soup. Press the Sauté button and cook, stirring constantly, until the soup has thickened, about 8 minutes. Press the Cancel button.
  • Once soup stops bubbling, stir in chicken, cheese, and sour cream and stir until the cheese is completely melted. Serve hot with tortilla chips for garnish.
