Chicken Enchiladas with Heavy Cream and Green Chiles
- 6 cups Cooked And Shredded Chicken Breasts Or Chicken Meat Of Your Choice
- 1 can (7 Oz. Can) Green Chilies
- 1 can (large 12 Oz. Can) Green Chile Sauce, Divided
- 1 whole Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Red Chili Flakes
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/2 cups Corn Oil
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 teaspoon Chicken Bouillon
- 8 ounces, weight Jack Cheese
- 1 package Corn Tortillas (12)
- This recipe requires many steps and may be off-putting to some, but the flavor is well worth it to me.
- I think its the heavy whipping cream that brings me to my knees and maybe the jack cheese, too.
- Good tongs are essential, also.
- The day before, I cook the chicken, so its ready to go.
- I slow simmer it for a couple of hours, in some chicken stock if I have it (if not, water) and some spices (garlic, red chili flakes, cumin) then shred when done and put it in the fridge with a bit of the stock water to keep it moist.
- The day of, saute onion and garlic until soft in a skillet with a bit of oil.
- Add cooked chicken, green chilies and 1/4 cup of green chili sauce.
- Then add some salt, red chili flakes and cumin accordingly, to taste.
- Heat through.
- In another small skillet, heat oil for tortillas.
- In a medium-sized sauce pan over low and slow heat, heat the heavy whipping cream and chicken bouillon, stirring occasionally.
- Fry tortillas in oil for just a few seconds to soften.
- Let oil drip off a bit, and then dunk the tortilla into the sauce pan with the cream.
- Let them enjoy each other for a second or two.
- Then place some chicken in the tortilla and roll up.
- Place in a baking dish that has about 1/2 cup each of green chili sauce and the cream mixture poured into the bottom.
- When done with the enchiladas, pour the remaining cream sauce and green chili sauce over the enchiladas.
- Top with Jack cheese and bake for 45 minutes in a 350-degree oven.
- Serve with pico de gallo and avocado.
- Also, maybe a salad or rice and beans.
- Enjoy ...
