Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
- 1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in green chilies, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
- Shred the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas and place seam-side down in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Pour any remaining chicken mixture over the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier enchilada, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
- You can use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.
- If you don’t have cream of chicken soup, you can substitute with cream of mushroom soup.
