Cómo preparar Best Easiest Low Fat Chicken Verde Enchiladas
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook chicken breasts: In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add chicken breasts, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Shred chicken and set aside.
- Make the verde sauce: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatillos, poblano peppers, jalapeño, cilantro, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until tomatillos are tender. Blend until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender (in batches if necessary).
- Assemble the enchiladas: Lightly coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil. Spread about 1 cup of the verde sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Fill each corn tortilla with shredded chicken and a small amount of cheese. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining verde sauce over the enchiladas, ensuring they are mostly covered.
- Top with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro and a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional).
