INGREDIENTS

  • Spices

    • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Meat

    • 🍗 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • Liquid

    • ½ cup chicken broth
  • Cheese

    • 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • Canned goods

    • 2 (10 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce, divided
    • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
    • 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 ½ cup chopped onion
  • Other

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 16 corn tortillas

STEPS

1

Mix chili powder, salt, and cumin together in a bowl. Rub mixture all over chicken.

2

Pour chicken broth into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Add a rack to the bottom of the pot and place seasoned chicken on top. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.

3

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

4

Release the pressure using the natural-release method for 5 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure for 5 more minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

5

Stir 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, 1 can green enchilada sauce, green chilies, and onions together in a large mixing bowl to thoroughly blend.

6

Transfer cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred or chop into small pieces. Add chicken to the mixing bowl and stir until blended with cheese mixture.

7

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Soften tortillas, one at a time, by dipping into the hot oil for 2 to 3 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.

8

Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then roll up and place seam-side down into the prepared baking dish.

9

Combine remaining green enchilada sauce with red enchilada sauce in a bowl; pour over enchiladas in the baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Monterey Jack cheese over top.

10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
