Description

Delicious, creamy and totally fattening!! Everyone who tries these LOVES them and begs for the recipe!

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Rotisserie Chicken
  • ¼ cups Chicken Broth
  • 3 cups Shredded Mexican Cheese
  • 2 whole Poblano Peppers
  • 1 whole Small Onion
  • 3 cloves Chopped Or Minced Garlic
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 10 whole Tortillas

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.

Shred chicken apart and put into a medium bowl. Add chicken broth and 1 1/2 cups of cheese and mix together well.

Spoon mixture onto the center of each tortilla, roll up and place in baking dish. (For easier tortilla rolling, I heat up the tortillas a little bit before spooning the mixture)

Sauce:

Remove seeds from 2 medium pablano peppers. Chop both peppers very fine. Finely dice small onion. In a skillet, over medium heat, add 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Add and caramelize diced onion.

Add and sauté 2-3 cloves of crushed garlic. Add heavy cream, pablano peppers and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Heat and stir until cheese is completely melted. (For extra sauce, add more cream and cheese)

Spoon sauce evenly over enchiladas. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30min. Remove foil and bake an additional 5-10min.

Serve warm and enjoy!

* For picky eaters, omit onion and peppers. : )
** You can use 2-3 boiled boneless, skinless chicken breasts in place of the Rotisserie chicken, but you will want to season the boiling water with something. Also, I only use the white meat from the Rotisserie, but you can use both – it will just make more enchiladas, therefore you will need to increase the amount of sauce.

Good enchiladas! I also did not have Pablano and used canned green chiles from my pantry. I was impressed by how incredibly easy and fast they were to make. Even my picky one year old gobbled some up.

I really enjoy the rotisserie chicken in this recipe. I could not find Pablano Peppers at my store, so I used a can of diced Chiles that I had on hand. The sauce needed quite a bit of extra flavoring (IMHO) and I even added extra chicken broth to the sauce to make it go further. I also substituted 1/2 & 1/2 instead of heavy cream. I know I made a bunch of substitutions, but I needed to use what I had on hand! :0)

Overall, it was a good recipe but I think next time I will use a larger onion & more peppers (chiles in my case) in order to make more sauce, I like things saucy!!!
