Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Chicken Enchiladas Suizas.
Step 1
Start by bringing a pot of lightly salted water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once boiling, carefully add the chicken breasts and cover the pot.
Step 3
Let them cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are fully cooked through.
Step 4
Afterward, drain the chicken and set it aside to cool before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
While the chicken cools, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 10x15 inch baking dish to ensure your enchiladas don’t stick.
Step 6
Next, grab a skillet and melt some butter over medium heat.
Step 7
Toss in the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper, sautéing them for about 5 to 8 minutes until they become tender and fragrant.
Step 8
Once they’re ready, transfer this colorful mixture to a large bowl.
Step 9
In that same bowl, combine the shredded chicken with Cheddar cheese, diced green chiles, green salsa, fresh cilantro, ground cumin, and chopped chipotle peppers.
Step 10
Don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then mix everything together until well combined.
Step 11
Now it’s time to assemble your enchiladas! Take a tortilla and place about 1/3 cup of the delicious chicken mixture along one edge.
Step 12
Roll it up tightly into a tube and place it seam-side down in your prepared baking dish.
Step 13
Repeat this rolling process until you’ve used up all the chicken mixture, creating a beautiful array of enchiladas.
Step 14
To finish, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top of your enchiladas, adding that melty goodness we all love.
Step 15
In a small bowl, whisk together some whipping cream and chicken broth until smooth, then pour this creamy mixture evenly over the enchiladas.
Step 16
Cover the dish with aluminum foil to keep all that moisture in.
Step 17
Pop the baking dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 30 minutes.
Step 18
After that, carefully remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is gloriously melted and bubbly.
Step 19
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once done, let your enchiladas cool for a few moments before serving.
Step 20
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s sure to impress family and friends alike!.
