Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Add chicken and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add tomatillos, serrano pepper, and garlic. Boil for 12 minutes.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place poblano peppers in a resealable plastic bag and add 1 tablespoon oil. Toss to coat. Transfer peppers to the hot skillet and roast until dark brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Return roasted peppers to the resealable bag and seal. Set aside to steam for 10 minutes. Take out peppers from the bag; remove and discard skins and stems.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer tomatillos, serrano peppers, garlic, and 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid to a blender. Add onion, cilantro, lime juice, roasted poblano peppers, salt, and pepper to the blender. Liquefy into a smooth sauce.
- Remove chicken from the water in the pot and shred using a fork.
- Heat 1/2 cup oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry tortillas in the hot oil until softened, about 5 seconds on each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Pour 1/2 the sauce from the blender into the bottom of a long glass baking pan. Roll a portion of chicken mixture and some shredded queso cheese on a tortilla, roll up, and place in the pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and queso cheese. Cover enchiladas with remaining sauce. Use a spoon to add crema in a zigzag design on top. Top everything with remaining queso cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese starts to brown, about 20 minutes.

SPICY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS VERDE
This is a recipe that was in USA weekend, Jan26-28th. That's the magazine that comes in the Sunday paper. I tried this, and we loved it. I cut the recipe in half, and it still made 8 enchiladas. And also, I used just simple salsa in place of the salsa verde that was called for.I had made a rotisserie chicken on Saturday, and had the two thighs leftover. It made plenty of chicken for the following recipe.I also used dried cilantro and guessed at the amount.I used low carb tortillas also.I chopped the onion fine and added it with the chicken.Serves 4, with two enchiladas each.

CARNITAS ENCHILADAS
If you are looking for a delicious way to repurpose leftover pork roast, do I have a recipe for you! Shred up your leftover pork and cook it with traditional carnitas seasonings, then wrap in a corn tortilla and bake in this delicious sauce! Top with Monterey Jack cheese, and garnish any way you like. We like it with a little shredded lettuce, salsa, slices of avocado, and some lime.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shredded pork, chopped onion, orange juice concentrate, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until onion is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Remove lid, increase heat to medium, and continue to cook until the liquid is mostly evaporated, about 10 minutes. Transfer everything to a plate and allow to cool slightly. Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Combine salsa verde and sour cream in a mixing bowl, stirring well. Spread about 1 cup of salsa verde mixture over the bottom of the prepared baking dish, reserving the rest.
- Add remaining cooking oil to the cleaned skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
- Gently warm each tortilla in the oil, about 2 minutes per side, making the tortillas flexible. Add more oil, if needed.
- Place a tortilla on a work surface and add 3 tablespoons of pork mixture and 1 tablespoon shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla gently around the filling, and place seam side down in the prepared dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- When all tortillas are rolled up and in the dish, pour the reserved salsa-sour cream mixture over the filled tortillas.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven; sprinkle on remaining cheese and allow to melt while the enchiladas cool, about 5 minutes.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH SALSA VERDE
Don't let the one-hour prep time on these enchiladas scare you. Use some leftover roast chicken, or buy a roast chicken at the market on the way home, and you'll save at least 20 minutes, making the dish a terrific weeknight feed, alongside a green salad. (At El Real Tex-Mex restaurant, in Houston, the great Tex-Mex scholar and restaurateur Robb Walsh serves his version with lightly smoked chicken, which if you can find or make is superb.) The salsa verde is dead simple to make and the rest is assembly - a task that grows markedly easier each time you do it.

Steps:
- Prepare the chicken: Place chicken parts in a large saucepan with onion, garlic and salt, and cover with water. Heat pan over high heat until liquid comes to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and let simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove chicken and let cool, reserving stock for another use. Using your fingers or two forks, shred meat from chicken and reserve, discarding skin and bones. (Alternatively, shred meat from leftover or store-bought roast chicken and set aside.)
- Meanwhile, heat oven to 375, and make the salsa verde: Combine tomatillos, onion, garlic, serranos and cilantro in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth, adding water as needed to thin it out a little. Season with salt to taste.
- Prepare the tortillas: In medium sauté pan set over medium-high heat, heat oil until it begins to shimmer. Using tongs or a wide spatula, place a tortilla in the hot fat; it should start to bubble immediately. Heat tortilla for about 10 seconds a side, until soft and lightly browned. Remove tortilla and set on a rack set over a baking pan, or just on a baking pan if you don't have a rack. Repeat with remaining tortillas, working quickly.
- Assemble the enchiladas: Use a ladle to put about 1/2 cup salsa verde in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it out a little. Roll a few tablespoons of shredded chicken into each tortilla with a teaspoon or so of salsa verde and place it seam-side down in the pan, nestling each one against the last. Ladle salsa verde over top of rolled tortillas and sprinkle with about half the crumbled cheese.
- Transfer to oven and bake until sauce bubbles and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Dot with crema, sprinkle with remaining cheese and, if using, chopped onion, then serve immediately.
