INGREDIENTS

  • Sauce

    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 🧅 ⅔ cup chopped Spanish onion
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
    • 1 cup chopped green chile peppers
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 🧂 ¾ teaspoon salt
    • 1 pinch ground cumin

  • Filling and Assembly

    • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
    • 1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese
    • 🌽 12 (8 inch) corn tortillas
    • 3 tablespoons canola oil
    • 🍗 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast meat
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • ¼ cup chopped green onion
    • 🍅 1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
    • ½ cup sliced green olives

STEPS

1

Make the salsa verde: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

2

Add flour and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, green chiles, garlic, salt, and cumin. Simmer until flavors blend, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.

3

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

4

Mix Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl.

5

Heat 1/4 inch canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry tortillas, one at a time, until blistering but still soft, about 10 to 20 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.

6

Dip both sides of each tortilla in salsa verde, then place onto a work surface. Fill with chicken and cheese mixture, and roll tightly. Place seam-side down into a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

7

Spoon salsa verde over the enchiladas, pour heavy cream on top, and sprinkle remaining cheese over enchiladas. Garnish with green onions.

8

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

9

Garnish with cherry tomatoes and green olives. Serve immediately with remaining salsa verde.
