Servings: 6 enchiladas
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 lb chicken breasts skinless and boneless, cut into cubes
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 1/2 bell pepper chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup red enchilada sauce sugar-free
- 1/2 lb deli sliced chicken breast the bigger the slices, the better
Garnish
- Cilantro chopped
- Sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and get a baking dish out.
- Heat up the skillet to medium-high heat. Melt the butter, add in the chicken, and cook it until it's no longer pink. It will take around 7 minutes.
- Now, add the onion, bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Then, add in minced garlic, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the chicken with spices, then add in the cream cheese, chicken broth, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, parsley and oregano. Stir well and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Finally, stir in the heavy cream and take the skillet off the heat.
- Take the baking dish out and spoon some enchilada sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish.
- Now, take each chicken deli meat slice, place the chicken mixture we've just cooked up on one side of the deli meat, and roll it up as if it were a tortilla. Do it with all of the deli meats - around 8 will fit into the baking dish.
- Place each rolled deli meat on the baking dish right next to each other, filling up the baking dish.
- Cover with enchilada sauce and the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and sour cream.
