Friday Night Fiesta

Normally we go out on Friday night because I am sick of cooking all week long but this weekend we had to stay in and rest up for a big garage cleaning.  Wow that sounds pathetic.  I wanted to make something fun and really good so we wouldn't be depressed that we were on lock down.  So I went for an old stand by mom used to make us Chicken Enchiladas.  These always hit the spot and are a piece of cake to whip up.  I also like how they make enough for leftovers so you can just grab an enchilada and reheat it for lunch or dinner the next day.  I even have done them for a dinner party with margaritas and they were a smashing success.  They are great for entertaining because you can easily make a ton and they are so inexpensive.  I seriously thought twice about parting with this recipe but here goes I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Ingredients (this makes 10 enchiladas)

  • 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 10 flour tortilla shells
  • 1 package of low fat sour cream
  • 1 can green chiles
  • 1 can of jalapenos (if your family isn't a spicy one leave these out)
  • 1 bag of Mexican shredded cheese
Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream 
  • 1 bottle green taco sauce.  look for this is in the Mexican section and if they don't have by a jar of green enchilada sauce.  
Directions
  • Poach the chicken in water until it pulls apart into pieces.  I know that sounds random and you are thinking why not use chicken broth but for this recipe I use water.  It makes the chicken very white which I like and you are flavoring it with the peppers anyway. 
  • Mix the chicken in a bowl with cheese sour cream and peppers.
  • Roll mixture into shells and place seem side down in baking dish.
  • Cook on 350 for 30 mins or till golden brown
  • For the sauce mix the green taco/ enchilada sauce with sour cream and pour on top
  • I serve with guc and salsa as well
