Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, or more to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- 2 (10 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce, divided
- 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped, or more to taste
- olive oil
- 16 corn tortillas, or more to taste
- 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
Instructions
1
Combine chili powder, salt, and cumin in a bowl to create a blend of spices. Coat the chicken evenly with this spice mixture.
2
Place the chicken broth into a pressure cooker, ensuring it's compatible with your model (such as Instant Pot). Add a rack to the bottom of the pot and position the seasoned chicken on top. Close and secure the lid. Set the pressure cooker to high according to its manufacturer's guidelines; set a 5-minute timer. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build up.
3
In parallel, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
4
Release the pressure using the natural-release method, allowing it to dissipate for 5 minutes, followed by a quick release, taking about 5 more minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
5
While waiting for the pressure to release, blend together 2 cups of Monterey Jack cheese, 1 can of green enchilada sauce, green chiles, onions, and jalapeƱos in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
6
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred or chop it into small pieces. Add this shredded chicken to the mixing bowl and stir until fully incorporated with the cheese mixture.
7
Heat some olive oil in a skillet. Soften tortillas one by one, by briefly dipping them into the hot oil for 2-3 seconds on each side. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
8
Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then roll up and place seam-side down into the prepared baking dish.
9
Combine any remaining green enchilada sauce with red enchilada sauce in a bowl; pour this sauce over the enchiladas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
