directions

  • Pound the chicken breasts until very thin. If using large chicken breasts, cut them in half. Meanwhile, heat about 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken in hot oil just to brown the outside well; transfer to a greased 9x13" baking pan. You'll need to cook the chicken in batches, adding a little more oil for each batch.
  • In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of oil. Add the peppers and onions and cook until just tender, adding the garlic during the last minute or so; season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove the peppers from the skillet to a bowl.
  • Put the enchilada sauce and cream cheese in the same skillet over low heat. Whisk until the cream cheese is blended into the sauce. Add 4 ounces of the cheddar cheese; cook and stir until the cheese has melted. Pour the sauce over the chicken and top with the pepper mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 4 ounces of cheddar cheese over the top. Bake at 350º for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Makes 6-8 servings.
