Como fazer 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).
