Chicken Enchiladas
Ready In: 1 hr 45 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 4 cups cold water
- 2 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorn
- 5 garlic cloves, crushed
- 12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
- 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 jalapeno pepper, halved
- 1⁄2 medium onion, cut into wedges
- 1 (7 ounce) can salsa verde
- 1⁄4 cup whipping cream
- 1 cup tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1⁄4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 12 corn tortillas (6 inches each)
- cooking spray
- 1 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1/4 cup)
Directions
- Combine first 9 ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook 8 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from pan using a slotted spoon; let stand 10 minutes. Shred the chicken and set aside. Drain cooking liquid through a sieve over a bowl; reserve cooking liquid.
- Combine reserved cooking liquid and salsa verde in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until reduced to 1 1/2 cups (about 30 minutes). Reduce heat to low; stir in whipping cream. Place pan over low heat.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken in a medium bowl. Add tomato and next 5 ingredients (through cream cheese) to chicken; toss. Dip each tortilla in sauce mixture for 10 seconds. Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 chicken mixture; roll up. Arrange filled tortillas, seam side down, in an 11 x 7 inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon sauce over tortillas; top evenly with cheddar cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
