Creamy Chicken Enchiladas Suizas
Ingredients
  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
  • 1 cup green salsa
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 12 (7 inch) flour tortillas
  • 10 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
1
Boil water in a large pot until it reaches a rolling boil, then add the chicken to the boiling liquid; cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 10x15 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
3
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper until they're tender but still crisp, about 5-8 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl and set aside.
4
Add the cooked chicken, shredded Cheddar cheese, diced green chile peppers, salsa, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, and chipotle peppers to the bowl with the vegetables. Mix well to combine.
5
Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then mix again until everything is fully incorporated.
6
To assemble the enchiladas, place about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture along one edge of a tortilla and roll it tightly into a tube. Place the rolled enchilada seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
7
Sprinkle Monterrey Jack cheese over the top of the enchiladas. In a small bowl, whisk together whipping cream and chicken broth until smooth. Pour the cream mixture over the enchiladas.
8
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes more.
