What’s Cooking Wednesday-Chicken Enchiladas

October 1, 2008 by Melissa 

So, you have 85 Gazillion calories to spend, and have no idea what do so with them? lol, no this is a great recipe, but I don’t make it that often because it so fattening. Mr. Mel asks for it every now and then, though.

I have done this with shrimp substituted for the chicken.

Chicken Enchiladas
Serves 8

3 cups cooked chicken meat, shredded or chopped into bite size pieces
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbs olive oil(you can subsitute spray or butter)
2 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 pint whipping cream
1 can chopped green chiles
chopped or sliced black olives(optional)
salt and pepper to taste
8 flour tortillas
2 cups grated cheddar jack cheese

Preheat oven 350.

Heat oil in nonstick skillet over med heat. Add onion, saute about 2-5 min, add garlic; saute another min. Drain green chilis and add to onions and garlic. Lower heat, then cut up cream cheese and add to skillet, constantly stirring to keep it from burning. Once melted, add chicken and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Take the mixture and place by spoonfuls into tortillas. Place rolled tortilla, seam side down, in a 13×9 pan. Once all tortillas are filled and placed in pan. Then, sprinkle cheese of them. Over that, pour the whipping cream and then sprinkle the olives.

Place in preheated oven and cook 20-30 minutes until cream thickens and cheese is melted.

If you have a recipe you would like to offer up, shoot me an email on my contact page.
