Chicken Enchiladas
- 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 cups Italian Salad Dressing (for The Marinade- Not Light)
- 1 pinch Salt To Taste
- 1 pinch Lemon Pepper To Taste
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
- 1 whole Sweet Red Bell Pepper, Chopped
- 1- 1/2 cup Frozen Corn
- 1 can 4 Oz. Mild Green Chilies
- 3 cups Fresh Chopped Spinach (heaping)
- 1 package 8 Oz. Light Or Fat-free Cream Cheese
- 1 package 16 Oz. Jalapeno Pepper Jack Cheese (or Regular Jack Or A Combo Of The Two)
- 1 package Flour Tortillas (I Use Medium Sized, 10-12 Count)
- 1 can 14 Oz. Can Mild Red Enchilada Sauce (preferably Hatch's Brand)
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
- Pour Italian dressing over chicken breasts and let marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
- Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and lemon pepper and grill until cooked through- about 7 minutes a side.
- Let stand about 10 minutes and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a large frying pan (one with a lid) over medium-high heat, add olive oil and onions and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add red pepper and cook for about 2 more minutes.
- Add frozen corn, chicken and green chilies and cook for about 2 more minutes.
- Add the spinach and cook until it just starts to wilt.
- Now for the cheese, this is where the heat of your enchiladas is decided: If you like spicy go with 16 ounces of pepper jack.
- For medium heat put in 8 ounces pepper jack and 8 ounces of jack cheese.
- For totally mild just use jack cheese.
- We love the half pepper jack option, so the kids will eat too.
- Stir in the cream cheese and jack cheese(s).
- Cover pan with a lid and remove from heat immediately.
- Set aside for several minutes while the cheeses melt.
- Remove lid and stir well to blend.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Fill tortillas with chicken mixture, roll and line up in casserole dish.
- Makes approximately 10 enchiladas depending on how full you stuff them and the size of your tortillas.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
- While enchiladas are cooking, heat enchilada sauce with brown sugar in a small saucepan.
- Remove enchiladas from oven at 15 minutes the tortillas should be getting a little crispy.
- Pour sauce over enchiladas and return to the oven for about 10 minutes or until cheeses are hot and bubbly.
- Enjoy!
