RED CHICKEN ENCHILADA RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees . In a bowl, toss the chicken with 1/2 tbsp. oil. Stir in the bell pepper and corn; spread on a large, rimmed baking sheet greased with cooking spray. Roast until the chicken is cooked, about 15 minutes. Place the chicken and the vegetables in a bowl.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees . In a medium saucepan, whisk 1 tbsp. oil with the flour over medium heat until it bubbles, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the sauce and stock. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, whisking, until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Stir 1/3 cup sauce into the chicken mixture. Spread 1/2 cup sauce into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Working one at a time, dip tortillas in the remaining sauce, transfer to a plate, fill with the chicken mixture, roll up, and place, seam side down, in the baking dish. Top with the remaining sauce and the cheese. Bake until the sauce bubbles and the cheese melts, 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the cilantro.

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the onion, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the onions have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and sugar, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato sauce and water, bring to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Nestle the chicken into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the thickest part registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate; set aside to cool. Strain the sauce through a medium-mesh strainer into a medium bowl, pressing on the onions to extract as much liquid as possible. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
• Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred into bite-sized pieces. Toss together the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce, 1 cup of the cheddar, the jalapeños, and cilantro, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Stack the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on high until warm and pliable, 40 to 60 seconds. Spread the warm tortillas out over a clean work surface. Place 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla. Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling and lay them seam-side down in a 13 by 9-inch baking dish.
• Lightly spray the tops of the enchiladas with vegetable oil spray. Pour 1 cup of the remaining sauce over the enchiladas to coat them thoroughly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cheddar down the center of the enchiladas. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake until the enchiladas are heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove the foil and continue to bake until the cheese browns, about 5 minutes longer. Serve, passing the remaining 1 cup sauce and the lime wedges separately.
