Mexican Chicken Recipe (enchiladas)

Ingredients:

12 corn tortillas
3 cooked chicken breast halves, make sure no skin or bones,
then shred
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup of chopped green onions
1/2 cup of fresh chopped cilantro
3/4 cup minced onion
4 oz. chopped green chilies
12 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup of butter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
new vegetable oil for frying

Preparation:


Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Then heat 2-tablespoons of oil in a
frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the tortillas for 5 seconds, per side or until they are pliable. Fry them each individually and add your oil as necessary. Drain the oil from the tortillas onto paper towels & keep them warm after doing.

Next you divide the chicken, onion and 10 oz. of the cheese between the tortillas. Roll the tortillas up and put them in a greased baking pan, make sure the seam side is down. Melt your butter in a pan with medium heat & then add the four in with a whisk until it begins boiling. Add the chicken broth, stirring continuously.

Then add your chilies & sour cream. Stir it occasionally & don't let it come to a boil. Pour this over the enchiladas when it is hot and thick.
Bake the chicken enchiladas for 20 minutes then put the rest of your cheese on top and bake another 5-mins. Add the green onions & cilantro to garnish them. This is an excellent Mexican chicken recipe that everyone is sure to enjoy!
