Chicken Cilantro Enchiladas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• FILLING: Heat butter and oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chicken, garlic, jalapenos, and green onion. Sprinkle with cumin, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until heated thru.
• Add the cream cheese, stirring to incorporate until melted. Stir in sour cream, season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• ENCHILADAS: To each tortilla, place some of the chicken mixture, then sprinkle with some Mexican cheese blend (about 2 Tbsp inside each enchilada). Roll up and place seam side down into the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• To the skillet the chicken mixture was in (no need to wash the pan first), combine the enchilada sauce, picante sauce, and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer then pour over top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with cilantro followed with remaining shredded cheese. Bake for 40 minutes until heated thru.
• Let rest 5-10 minutes to set. Serve with a dollop of additional sour cream if desired.

Steps:

• Put it all filling ingredients in a skillet
• heat it till the cream cheese melts,
• fill the corn tortillas (you can use flour shells, but they tend to get a bit mushy.)
• If you want to stretch the recipe, add cooked rice to the chicken, and if you do, then use 2 pkg of cream cheese and 2 cans of chilies.
• Cilantro Pesto sauce.
• Puree the first three ingredients (it easiest in the food processor)
• slowly drizzle in oil with (if u pour it all in, it separates).
• In a bowl, mix cilantro pesto with broth and cream.
• pour sauce over enchiladas, I usually just pour it down the center of each row of shells -- if you put too much on, it becomes a bit soggy --
• add more when serving.
• Recipe makes more pesto sauce than what you will need so you can either use it for dressing or something else or freeze the extra.
• Top with grated parm cheese and bake for 30 minute at 350.

Steps:

• Sauté chicken, onion, garlic, and cilantro together until the onions are soft. Set aside.
• Combine the chicken broth and enchilada sauce. Set aside.
• For the filling, combine chicken mixture, 2 cups of cheese, green onions, and chopped cilantro and 1 cup enchilada/ broth mixture. Mix well.
• To assemble the enchiladas, warm tortillas and spoon 2-3 Tbsp of the chicken mixture into the tortilla. Roll tortilla and place seam side down into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.
• Spoon remaining enchilada/ broth sauce over the enchiladas and cover with remaining cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes.

Steps:

• Coat large saute pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken over medium heat, allow 7 minutes each side or until no longer pink. Sprinkle chicken with cumin, garlic powder and Mexican spices before turning. Remove chicken to a platter, allow to cool.
• Saute onion and garlic in chicken drippings until tender. Add corn and chiles. Stir well to combine. Add canned tomatoes, saute 1 minute.
• Pull chicken breasts apart by hand into shredded strips. Add shredded chicken to saute pan, combine with vegetables. Dust the mixture with flour to help set.
• Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them more pliable. Coat the bottom of 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans with a ladle of enchilada sauce. Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the collards and cumin and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl (reserve the skillet). Add the chicken, half the scallions and 3/4 cup cheese to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss.
• Wipe out the reserved skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Stir in the salsa, heavy cream and 1/2 cup water; reduce the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Dip the tortillas briefly in the sauce and lay on a baking sheet. Divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas and roll up.
• Remove 1/2 cup sauce from the skillet; arrange the enchiladas seam-side down in the skillet. Spoon the reserved sauce on top. Broil until the enchiladas are just crisp and lightly browning, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese and broil until bubbling, about 1 minute. Top with the remaining scallions, the avocado, cilantro and sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over a medium high heat, and then fry the tortillas 5 seconds per side until they are pliable. Do them individually and add more oil as required. Drain the tortillas on paper towels and keep them warm.
• Divide the chicken, onion (not green onion) and 10 oz of the cheese between the tortillas. Roll them up and place in a greased baking pan, seam side down. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until it begins to boil. Add the broth, stirring continuously.
• Add the chilies and sour cream. Stir occasionally and do not let the mixture boil. Pour this mixture over the enchiladas when hot and thick. Bake the Mexican chicken enchiladas for 20 minutes then top with the rest of the cheese and bake for a further 5 minutes. Use the green onions and cilantro to garnish them.
