How to Make Cream Cheese Green Chicken Enchilada's

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook chicken: Cook 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts until cooked through. Shred chicken.
  3. Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1 cup chopped green chiles (canned), 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1 tsp cumin. Mix well.
  4. Prepare tortillas: Lightly brush 12 corn tortillas with oil and warm them briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  5. Assemble enchiladas: Spread a thin layer of filling onto each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Pour sauce: Pour 2 cups of your favorite green enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish and serve: Garnish with extra cilantro and sour cream before serving. Enjoy!
