Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas with Green Sauce
Prep Time: 10 minutes || Cook Time: 20 minutes || Total: 30 Minutes
Servings: 6 || Yields:
Ingredients
- 4 bone in chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
- 1 1/2 cups Salsa Verde
- 12 6'' corn tortillas
- 3/4 cup part skim Ricotta cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican cheese blend
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Directions
- Place the chicken in a large deep skillet. Add enough water to cover and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer 15-20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin and bones and discard; shred the chicken.
- Spray a 13''X by 9'' baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Put the salsa in a large shallow bowl or pie plate. Dip both sides of 1 tortilla in the salsa. Top the tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the shredded chicken, 1 tablespoon of the ricotta and 1/2 tablespoon of the cheese.
- Fold two opposite sides of the tortilla over to enclose the filling. Place, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Pour any remaining salsa over the enchiladas and sprinkle evenly with the remaining cheese.
- Cover with plastic wrap and vent one corner. Microwave on high until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
