Chicken Enchiladas Verdes
Hans Gissinger
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 400° F. Place the chicken in a medium saucepan, add enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes; transfer to a plate and let cool. When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken, discarding the skin and bones. Place the meat in a large bowl.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a blender, puree the salsa, cilantro, and ½ cup of the sour cream until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan and simmer until slightly thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the remaining ½ cup of sour cream.
Step 3
Add the corn, 1 cup of the Muenster, ½ cup of the sauce, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper to the chicken and toss to combine.
Step 4
Spread 1 cup of the remaining sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Roll up the chicken in the tortillas (about ½ cup each) and place seam-side down in the dish. Top with the remaining sauce and Muenster. Bake until bubbling and beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the package directions. Serve with the enchiladas, sour cream, and cilantro.

Made these last night - delish!
My substitutions: plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream; mixed mexican shredded cheese instead of muenster; used medium salsa
I also added in some green chilies to amp up the flavor as well as some black beans for variety. Oh, don't judge, but I used canned chicken (I had cans that needed to be used up).
Will def. make this again.

Made these for dinner tonight. Wow, they were good! All the sour cream makes them very rich (my wife added extra to hers).
1) The corn doesn't really add anything to the recipe. I'll leave it out next time.
2) The enchiladas don't have any heat whatsoever. Next time I will use medium salsa verde instead of mild.

I made this recipe using low fat sour cream and low fat cheese and it was still delicious!

I will not try this recipe until I can lower the calories and fat...969 calories is most of my day's worth! Perhaps lowering the fat in the sour cream, cheese etc. will make it worth the effort, but it is worth a try!

JEEZ,what calorie intake must the rest of the day be for this dish to total more than 1800-2000/day?! Anyway, I buy the publix pot roast that is in the butcher section that can just be heated up in the microwave prior and the gravy is then discarded. Shred the beef with a fork and can be substituted for the chicken! can combine with black beans and makes a great chicken alternative!

Absolutely delicious. I've made it for my family over and over again - the sauce is especially gorgeous.

Did not try it once I read the calories, fat and sodium contents. Any suggestions to lower these 3 factors, especially sodium?

I have made this recipe over and over again, and am just now posting about it! The sauce is extremely difficult to mess up, and the flavors blend together so perfectly. I am making it this morning and will refrigerate it so that after my excruciatingly busy day, it is ready to go (just double the baking time if you refrigerate). LOVE this recipe. Every adult and child in my home does, too!

Excellent, but I did it wrong. I completely forgot to cook the sauce and add the other 1/2 cup of sour cream. It was perfectly creamy and wonderful, though. I added a splash of lime juice to the sauce. I also used low fat sour cream. I served with rice and refried black beans. It got rave reviews from my family-no leftovers, the highest compliment.

This was a very good dish. I may cut back on the amount of Salsa Verde for my own taste. But it was a hit at my house and will be made again.
