Yummy Chicken Enchiladas

This is a recipe that I got from a friend and adapted a little as the original recipe made more than my family of 5 can eat in one or even two meals.  It was easy to make though and very delicious.

Chicken Enchiladas
1 onion
1 lb of chicken (either roasted, poached or you may use chicken fajita strips)  I cut mine up into small pieces.
1 jar of Salsa Verde (16 oz. jar)
1 package of 8 inch flour tortillas
8 oz. of heavy whipping cream
finely shredded cheese - you will need a lot.  You can use Cheddar, Mexican or any favorite blend.

  1. Chop and saute the onions until soft.
  2. Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces.
  3. Mix the onion and salsa with the chicken in a large bowl.
  4. Place 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of a tortilla and sprinkle cheese on top.
  5. Roll up and place seam side down in a pan sprayed with Pam.
  6. Pour cream around sides and a bit on top of tortillas (until the cream is 1/2 way up the sides)
  7. Sprinkle the top of all of the enchiladas with cheese.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until heated through.
This can be made the day before if needed and it is actually better if the cream can soak in for approximately one hour prior to cooking.  Enjoy!
