Green Chile Chicken Stacked Enchiladas Food

GREEN CHILE STACKED ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Run 1 tortilla through the hot oil until softened, 2 to 3 seconds per side; transfer to a plate. Layer a dry tortilla on top of the cooked tortilla on the plate. Cook another tortilla in the hot oil and stack on the dry tortilla. Repeat process until all the tortillas are used.
• Cook and stir chicken and onion in the same skillet, adding more oil if needed, until chicken is 2/3 done, about 10 minutes. Add green chiles; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and onions are tender, 5 to 10 minutes more.
• Layer tortillas in a 9x13-inch baking dish; top with chicken mixture, enchilada sauce, Monterey Jack cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering until all ingredients are used, ending with sauce and cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool until set, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chiles, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken broth and simmer until reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes.
• Bring seasoned chicken broth and remaining chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Working one at a time, very briefly dip tortillas into broth to barely soften. Transfer each tortilla to a large baking sheet (you may need 2 or 3 sheets). Do not overlap or tortillas will stick.
• Divide 1 1/4 cups cheese equally among tortillas and top each with shredded chicken, dividing evenly. Wrap tortilla around filling and transfer, seam-side down, to a 9- by 13-in. baking dish. I can fit 9 into a casserole dish.
• Pour chile sauce over enchiladas, add large spoonful of simmered chicken broth (left over from tortillas) over sauce and top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake until cheese is bubbling and browned approximately 15 minutes. Serve with sour cream and spanish rice. Ole!
• Note: I buy a whole seasoned chicken and put in the crockpot and set for 10 hours. This cooks the chicken slow and makes it easy to shred and give these enchiladas more flavor.

Steps:

• Combined all sauce ingredients along with enough water (or milk) to fill the two cans of soup in a large sauce pan over medium heat. We are not frying the tortillas, so the extra moisture from either the water or milk is needed to soften them while baking.
• After sauce mixture has simmered for about 5 minutes, begin assembling in a large casserole dish. I start with a some of the sauce, then a layer of tortillas, a layer of sauce, then the shredded chicken, then cheese, then back to the tortillas.

• While the chilies are roasting bring a pot of water to boil. Remove the papery husks from the tomatillos. Wash well with a little soap and a lot of water to remove any residue. When the water comes to a boil, drop the tomatillos into the pot for 8-10 minutes, until they are soft. Remove the stems, and if desired the seed pods if they are hard.
• Once chilies are room temperature, remove stems, skins and seeds. The skins should just slip off as long as the chilies are still a little warm. Do not worry if a few seeds remain.
