Categories     Dinner

Total Time 55 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Cooking spray
1 10-ounce can mild red enchilada sauce (I used my homemade enchilada sauce)
1 ½ pounds 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
1 4-ounce can mild green chilis
1 cup reduced fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 large avocado (yield 6-ounces, cubed)
Chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cumin, oregano, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper.  Rub on both sides of each chicken piece.
  • Spray a small (8x6-ish) oval or rectangular baking dish with cooking spray and pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish.
  • Lay chicken, cut side up on a work surface. Top each piece, in the center, with about 2 teaspoons chilis and 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese.
  • Roll each one up and set them seam side down in the baking dish.  Top with remaining sauce, cheese and chilis.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.  Remove foil and continue to bake 10-15 minutes more, or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Top each chicken roll-up with a few avocado pieces and cilantro and serve.

Categories     Dinner

Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
½ onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 16-ounce jar enchilada sauce (I used my own, homemade)
1/4 cup sour cream (plus more for serving)
4 corn tortillas (torn into quarters)
4 cups shredded chicken ((from a 2½-pound rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed))
1 15-ounce can low sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
3 ounces shredded cheese (such as a Mexican cheese blend, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella (about 3/4 cup))
jalapeño peppers and chopped fresh cilantro (for serving (optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F.
  • Heat the oil in a 10-inch oven-safe (preferably cast- iron) skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onion, garlic, cumin, and salt and cook, stirring, until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the onion  mixture to a large bowl; set aside the hot skillet.
  • Add the enchilada sauce, sour cream, and 1/4 cup water to the onion mixture and stir to combine.
  • Fold in the tortillas, chicken, and beans until thoroughly coated.
  • Spoon the mixture into the reserved skillet and cook over medium heat until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese all over the top and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 5 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly, then top the enchiladas with sour cream, jalapeños, and cilantro (if desired) and serve directly from the skillet at the table.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS RECIPE | MYRECIPES
Chicken Enchiladas are the ultimate in family-favorite dishes. Chicken breasts are poached in a highly-flavored liquid; then the liquid does double duty as a sauce when mixed with salsa verde and whipping cream and spooned over the chicken-filled tortillas. Use the freshest tortillas you can find for this dish since older ones tend to dry out and crack even though they're moistened in the flavorful sauce. We love La Tortilla Factory brand. Look for their low-fat, lower-sodium tortillas.
