How to Make Enchiladas De Pollo Chicken Enchiladas
- **Prepare the Chicken Filling:** In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned on all sides.
- Add chopped onion, minced garlic, Rotel, and chili powder to the Dutch oven. Stir to combine.
- Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken from the cooking liquid and let cool slightly.
- Shred chicken with two forks, discarding bones and skin. Reserve the cooking liquid for another use (soup, etc.).
- **Prepare the Enchilada Sauce:** In a food processor, combine milk, softened cream cheese, chopped green chilies, sour cream, cilantro, and cayenne pepper.
- Process until completely smooth and creamy.
- **Assemble the Enchiladas:** Fill a medium skillet with 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer. Dip each tortilla in the hot water for a few seconds to soften (about 5-10 seconds per tortilla).
- **Fill and Roll:** Spoon 1/2 cup of the shredded chicken mixture into the center of each softened tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the combined Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese.
- Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-down in an 11x7-inch baking dish.
- **Bake:** Pour the prepared enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Cover the baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.
- **Cheese Topping:** Uncover the baking dish, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of the combined Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese over the enchiladas.
- Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- **Serve:** Garnish with sour cream and serve immediately. Enjoy!
