Creamy Chicken Enchiladas
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 whole White Onion, Diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 3 whole Poblano Chilies (skinned And Seeded)
- 1 whole Jalapeno Pepper (skinned And Seeded)
- 1 whole Tomato, Peeled, Seeded, And Chopped (or One 6 Oz Can Diced, Unsalted Tomatoes)
- 1/2 teaspoons Cumin
- 3- 1/2 pounds Boneless Chicken Breast, Cut Into Large Cubes
- 1/2 cups Chicken Stock
- Salt To Taste
- 8 whole Large Flour Tortillas, Or More As Needed
- 1- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 cups Shredded Cheese (Chihuahua Or Monterey Jack, The Pre Shredded Mexican Four Cheese Blend Also Works Well)
- 1.
- Heat the butter on medium high heat.
- When it finishes bubbling, add the onion and garlic; saute until they begin to soften.
- 2.
- Next, add the poblano and jalapeno peppers, saute until they begin to release their juices (3-4 minutes).
- At this point the onion should be starting to take on a golden hue.
- 3.
- Add the tomato, cumin, chicken and chicken stock.
- Bring to a boil.
- Once the outside of the chicken has begun to cook (it will turn white), reduce to a simmer and cover for 1-2 hours.
- 4.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- 5.
- Take the chicken off the heat and shred with two forks.
- Season to taste.
- 6.
- Roll the tortillas out on a clean counter.
- Place about a third of a cup of the chicken mixture in a row in the middle and roll it up like a rug.
- Do not fold in the ends, you want the cream to be able to penetrate the enchiladas as they bake.
- 7.
- Pack the enchiladas tightly in a casserole tray and pour any extra chicken and sauce over the top, followed by the heavy whipping cream, and the cheese.
- 8.
- Bake until cheese is golden, about 15-20 minutes.
- Makes 8 enchiladas.
