Enchiladas

Recipe: Enchiladas
From: Longhornbride25


This is my favorite recipe for enchiladas, they are so delicious! And I use half and half and ff cream cheese to reduce the fat content. I also cover them with some red enchilada sauce along with the cream. You can also boil the chicken in broth instead of water for more flavor.

Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
2 T olive oil
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chili peppers, drained
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
2 cups shredded cheese, divided
1/2 cup water
8 (10 inch) tortillas
1 cup heavy cream

Directions:
1. Place the chicken into a saucepan, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the water, set aside to cool.
2. Preheat over to 375 degrees F.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green chilies, jalapeno and garlic. Cook and stir for a few minutes, until fragrant, then stir in the cream cheese and half of the shredded cheese. As the cheese begins to melt, gradually stir in the water. Chop or shred the chicken meat, stir into the skillet. Remove from heat.
4. Spoon the chicken mixture into tortillas and roll up. Place the rolls seam side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top, then pour the cream over all.
5. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated overn, or until the enchiladas are golden brown on the top.
6. Enjoy!
