Seriously Good Chicken Enchiladas Food

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Coat large saute pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken over medium heat, allow 7 minutes each side or until no longer pink. Sprinkle chicken with cumin, garlic powder and Mexican spices before turning. Remove chicken to a platter, allow to cool.
• Saute onion and garlic in chicken drippings until tender. Add corn and chiles. Stir well to combine. Add canned tomatoes, saute 1 minute.
• Pull chicken breasts apart by hand into shredded strips. Add shredded chicken to saute pan, combine with vegetables. Dust the mixture with flour to help set.
• Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them more pliable. Coat the bottom of 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans with a ladle of enchilada sauce. Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans.

SERIOUSLY GOOD CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Arrange an oven rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Spread 3/4 cup of enchilada sauce down the center of a 13×9-inch baking dish, and then set aside.
• Add 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce, shredded chicken, and 1 1/4 cups of the cheese to a bowl, and then toss until the chicken and cheese are well coated.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and then place six tortillas on the baking sheet so that they are laying flat and barely touching each other. Lightly spray or rub both sides of the tortillas with oil. Bake the tortillas until they just start to crisp up, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the baked tortillas to a plate lined with paper towel, and then repeat with the remaining six tortillas.
• Add 3/4 cup of enchilada sauce to a low sided, wide bowl and then quickly dip each baked tortilla into the sauce just to coat.
• Divide the chicken and cheese mixture between the tortillas, adding about 1/3 cup of filling to each. Roll the tortillas up and place them seam-side-down into the baking dish with sauce. The enchiladas will be nestled pretty close to each other.
• Spoon the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas and then finish with the remaining cheese scattered down the middle.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil or cover with parchment paper by tucking the sides and corners down around the enchiladas.
• Bake, covered, for 15 minutes. Uncover, and then bake another 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling on top.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN ENCHILADA RECIPE YOU'LL EVER TRY...

Steps:

• Spoon 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into a greased 13" x 9" baking dish. In a large saucepan, cook and stir the cream cheese and salsa over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until blended. Stir in the chicken, beans, and chilies.
• Place about 6 tablespoons of chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place the enchiladas seam side down over sauce. Top with remaining enchilada sauce; sprinkle with cheese.
• Cover and bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until cheese has melted and the enchilidas are heated through. Serve with lettuce, tomato, sour cream and olives if desired.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in your largest pan, then fry the onions, peppers, chopped chilli and coriander stalks with half the garlic for 10 mins until soft. Stir in 2 tsp ground coriander and 2 tsp cumin seeds, then fry for 1 min more. Meanwhile, in another frying pan, fry the chicken in the remaining oil, in batches, until browned - add it to the pan of veg as it is done.
• Stir the beans, sweetcorn, coriander leaves and 150ml of the passata into the veg and chicken. In a bowl, mix the rest of the passata with the other crushed garlic clove, the remaining spices and the sugar, then set aside.
• To assemble, lay the tortillas onto a board and divide the chicken mixture between them, folding over the ends and rolling up to seal. Divide the passata sauce into the dishes you are using, then top with the enchiladas. Dot over the soured cream, sprinkle with grated cheese and scatter with the sliced chilli.
• Cool and freeze (see freezing tips, below) or, if eating straight away, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, then bake for 30 mins, scattering with more coriander leaves to serve, if you like.

PERFECT CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat 2tbsp oil in a large skillet. Saute onions, garlic, green chilles, and mushrooms for 4-5 minutes on medium-high heat.
• Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add chicken and can of enchilada sauce. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes. Again, the consistency of the dish depends on how long you let the sauce thicken/evaporate.
• Mix in all of the spices (more or less, depending on your taste). Blend in the sour cream and the cream of chicken until fully mixed. Remove from heat.
• Spoon mixture evenly into tortillas and roll them up. Place them seam-side down in an oil-coated 13x9-inch pan. Pour leftover mixture evenly over the enchiladas.
• Mix the milk and 4-cheese blend in a small bowl. Pour evenly over the enchiladas and sprinkle the cheddar cheese over it.
• Bake for 350°F for 35-45 minutes.
