Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas


I love to experiment with mexican and italian dishes. This is a recipe that a friend gave me that i tweaked to my family's liking. Instead of frying the tortillas, these are dipped in chicken broth. ;) you'll never miss the oil and the enchiladas are moist and flavorful. ;)

Steps


Preheat oven to 400.
Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add garlic and onion and cook until fragrant , about 30 seconds.
Add chiles , salt , and pepper.
Cook , stirring occasionally , 3 minutes.
Add 1 cup chicken broth and simmer until reduced by one-third , about 10 minutes.
Bring seasoned chicken broth and remaining chicken broth to a gentle simmer.
Working one at a time , very briefly dip tortillas into broth to barely soften.
Transfer each tortilla to a large baking sheet.
Do not overlap or tortillas will stick.
Divide 1 1 / 4 cups cheese equally among tortillas and top each with shredded chicken , dividing evenly.
Wrap tortilla around filling and transfer , seam-side down , to a 9- by 13-in.
Baking dish.
I can fit 9 into a casserole dish.
Pour chile sauce over enchiladas , add large spoonful of simmered chicken broth over sauce and top with remaining 3 / 4 cup cheese.
Bake until cheese is bubbling and browned approximately 15 minutes.
