directions

  • In a medium stockpot combine the chicken, wine, broth, pepper, oregano only 2 teaspoons of the kosher salt, juice from 1 1/2 limes and water to cover the chicken fully. Bring to a boil, recue heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through and done.
  • Cool chicken for about 15 minutes and remove from the broth. Retain broth for future use if you would like. Cut or shred chicken into small pieces.
  • In a medium bowl mix together sour cream, half and half, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, juice from 1 lime and the lime zest.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch baking pan.
  • Heat a small amount of oil over medium heat to soften each tortilla in the hot oil. It should only take a few seconds a side. Pat off excess oil with a paper towel.
  • Fill each tortilla with 1/2 cup of chicken. Roll tortilla up and place into the prepared pan, with the open side of the tortilla facing down. Top with the lime/sour cream mixture. Cover with cheddar cheese and back for 20 to 25 minutes making sure cheese melts and enchiladas are heated through. Enjoy!

  1. These were a hit in my house. I made a few minor changes though. I used all chicken broth instead of the wine, and as far as the chicken goes, I added a little of the sour cream mixture to it, along with a little shredded cheddar and adobo sauce, so it wouldn't be too dry. I was able to make about ten enchiladas - and they were all gone... Thanks!
