Provided by Danelle

Total Time 35 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
6-8 cups fresh baby spinach
4 cups cooked, shredded chicken
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons lime juice
10-12 small flour or corn tortillas
Fresh chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place cooked, shredded chicken in a large bowl.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic until soft, 3-5 minutes. Add spinach and saute a few minutes more until wilted. Stir spinach mixture into chicken, along with 1/2 cup of the cheese.
  • To the same skillet, melt the butter. Stir in the flour. Whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cumin and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook until broth is thickened, then stir in the green chiles, sour cream and lime juice. Stir 1 cup of the sauce to the chicken and spinach mixture.
  • Spread about 1/3 cup of the sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan. Divide the chicken mixture between the tortillas and roll up tightly. Place seam side down in the pan.
  • Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Cover with foil and bake for about 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 10-15 minutes more, or until cheese is bubbly and enchiladas are golden brown. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, if desired.

Make and share this Spinach Chicken Enchiladas recipe from Food.com.

Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 (8 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/3-1/2 cup chopped onion
1/8-1/4 teaspoon tony chasers creole seasoning (use with caution, salty)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (to taste)
1/4 cup chicken broth or 1/4 cup water
8 ounces shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend (Low Fat works fine)
1 (16 ounce) jar Mexican crema (Found in refrigerated section at Walmart between the Cottage Cheese and Cream Cheese)
8 -10 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Over Med to Med/Low heat add broth and onion to a sauce pan or skillet. Simmer covered until onions start to become translucent.
  • Add Shredded Chicken, Drained Spinach, Creole Seasoning, Cumin and Garlic Powder. Stir & Simmer until all ingredients are heated through (most of broth should be evaporated) Drain any remaining liquid and let cool to manageable temperature.
  • In the meantime preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Soften Tortillas by your preferred method. I wrap them (fanned out like cards in a circle) in a damp towel and microwave approximately 1 minute.
  • When Chicken/Spinach mixture has cooled, mix in 1/2 - 2/3 of shredded cheese.
  • In a 15x10x2 glass casserole Lightly sprayed with Pam or canola oil spray I assemble the Enchiladas (I just eyeball how much mix per tortilla). Load up the tortillas and roll one at a time. Finishing seam side down. I like to keep them from touching each other before adding sauce.
  • Spoon enough Crema Mexicana over each Enchilada to cover, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Cover with foil and bake in preheated over at 425°F for 10-12 minutes. Remove foil and if desired (should be hot and bubbly) Broil for 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve topped with sliced jalapeños or your favorite salsa. Goes great with Spanish rice or refried beans.
  • Enjoy!
