Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Enchiladas:

  • 2 15 oz. cans Green Chile Enchilada Sauce reduced to 2 cups
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp. poultry seasoning
  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Four Cheese Mexican Blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 8 Mission Carb Balance Whole Wheat Tortillas

Instructions

Stepwise Method:

  • Start by placing the boneless skinless chicken breasts in your slow cooker or Instant Pot. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle with poultry seasoning. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot to keep it moist.
  • In a large saucepan, pour the two cans of green chile enchilada sauce. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce reduces to about 2 cups, concentrating its flavor.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of the Four Cheese Mexican Blend cheese, and half of the reduced enchilada sauce. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto it. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Once all enchiladas are in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over them. Sprinkle the remaining cheese blend and mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Let the enchiladas cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

  • These enchiladas freeze well for up to 2 months; wrap tightly in foil or store in a freezer-safe container.
