Generous Potluck Enchiladas Verdes
- 9 large white flour tortillas
- 3 cups cooked white rice
- 3 cups cooked chicken, can mix dark and light meat (2 large double chicken breasts or one breast plus two leg-and-thigh)
- 2 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese
- 2 (28 ounce) cans mild green enchilada sauce
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 green pepper, sliced
- 1 mild red pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- Boil chicken. Save the broth and use it to cook 1-1/2 cups rice to make 3 cups total cooked rice. Shred chicken.
- In a large skillet, saute onions and peppers in oil until soft; set aside.
- In large bowl, mix rice, chicken, 1-1/2 cups of the cheese, and 1/2 cup of the green enchilada sauce (save the rest to pour over at the end).
- Use a large rectangular casserole dish, a minimum of 13 by 9 inches, or use two dishes. Barely coat bottom of casserole dish with enchilada sauce. Divide chicken rice mixture into 9 portions, and roll up one portion in each flour tortilla. Stack rolled tortillas close together in dish(es).
- Carefully pour enchilada sauce over rolled-up tortillas, separating them so that all the sauce penetrates between the tortillas to the bottom of the dish.
- Scatter sauteed onions and peppers over the casserole.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over casserole.
- Bake in a 375 degree oven for 40-50 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and casserole is heated through.
- Before serving, cut the enchiladas down the middle. They are large enough that one enchilada will feed two people (unless you've got a really hungry person!).
