ckicken enchiladas......n id cook the chicken is the sauce but in the oven-taste alot better
enchiladas all the way
Chicken enchiladas - only instead of rolling them, try doing it lasagna style - layer of sauce; layer of tortillas; layer of chicken and cheese etc. Does she make sour cream enchiladas or with tomato and cumin based sauce?
CHICKEN ENCHILADAS!!!!
CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
4 whole chicken breasts
1 onion, chopped
1 large can mild red enchilada sauce
1 large can green chili sauce
1 lb grated cheese (Jack, Cheddar, sharp)
24-30 small corn tortillas
Poach chicken breasts with chopped onion until cooked, about 15 minutes. When cool, shred into small pieces and chop the cooked onion and place both into a bowl with the can of red enchilada sauce AND some of the poaching liquid. (You can do this the night before or have it ready to thaw from the freezer.)
Spread a ladle full of the green chili sauce on the bottom of a 3 quart tin foil casserole pan or a 6 quart Crock-pot. Cover with a layer of tortillas and a layer of chicken, followed by a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat until you have used all the ingredients and you end up with a final layer of cheese on the top.
Bake in a 325°F oven until bubbly... or in the Crock-pot on high for 1 hour and keep warm for the entire event.

hi nikki's wife
what about chilli enchiladas???
Best ever chilli con carne
Serves 6
Preparation time overnight
Cooking time over 2 hours
Ingredients
250g/9oz dried red kidney beans or 2x410g cans, drained
900g/2lb 4oz ripe tomatoes, skinned
900g/2lb 4oz braising steak
4 tbsp vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped
?-1 tsp hot chilli powder or cayenne pepper
1 rounded tbsp paprika
1 tbsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp dark muscovado sugar
3 garlic cloves, crushed
600ml/1 pint beef or chicken stock
salt and freshly ground black pepper
soured cream or crème fra?che, to serve
roughly chopped fresh coriander, to garnish
Method
1. If you're using dried beans, put them in a bowl, cover with plenty of cold water and leave them to soak for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
2. Drain the beans, tip into a pan and cover with fresh water. Bring to the boil and boil rapidly for 10 minutes. Drain and reserve. Roughly chop the tomatoes.
3. Cut meat into 1-2cm/?-?in cubes, discarding any excess fat. Pat dry on kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper. Heat half the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan or sauté pan until very hot. Fry half the meat, for about 10 minutes or until well browned. Drain with a slotted spoon and set aside. Repeat with the remaining oil and meat.
4. Add the onions to the pan with the chilli, paprika, cumin and sugar and fry very gently for 8-10 minutes until deep golden and caramelised. Return the meat to the pan with the garlic, tomatoes, stock and red kidney beans (if using canned beans, add for the last 30 minutes of cooking time). Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, on the lowest setting for 1?-1? hours until the meat is meltingly tender. Check the seasoning and serve with spoonfuls of soured cream or crème fra?che, and plenty of coriander.
First time I had these I fell in love with em!!
Instead of the cayenne pepper, I put a small can of jalepeno's in it.
Chicken Enchiladas...white Sauce..
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup flour
2 cups chicken stock (or canned broth)
8 ounces sour cream
8 ounces chopped green chilies, undrained
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups chopped cooked chicken breasts
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cups monterey jack cheese (or more)
8 flour tortillas
In medium saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, add chicken stock, heat and stir until thickened and bubbly.
Add sour cream, green chilies and cayenne. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, toss cooked chicken and chopped onion. To this bowl, add 3/4 cup sauce mixture from the saucepan. Stir well.
Fill each tortilla with scant 1/3 cup chicken mixture, roll up and place seamside down in oblong greased casserole.
Pour remaining sauce on top.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, covered.
Remove from oven, take off foil and sprinkle cheese over top.
Return to oven or just let it sit on the stovetop while you call everyone to the table. Either way, the cheese will melt.
