This is a recipe somebody shared with me and some other ladies on a forum website. The name is a mouthful, but when you take one bite of this, you'll know why. You can obviously lighten this up by using fat free or reduced fat cream cheese, cheese, and tortillas, but I don't recommend going full fat-free with the cream cheese and cheese, as they don't posess the same smooth melting qualities as a higher-fat ingredient.
Cream Cheese Green Chile Enchiladas
1 tbsp oil
1 lb chicken breasts, cubed
Mexican seasoning
1 tbsp garlic
1 block cream cheese, softened
1 can diced green chiles
8 tortilla shells, any size
1 can green enchilada sauce
shredded cheddar, pepperjack, or Mexican blend cheese
Combine oil and chicken in a medium bowl. Sprinkle liberally with Mexican seasoning blend, stirring to combine. Cover and chill for a couple of hours.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and saute until golden, about 1 minute. Add chicken cubes and saute until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add cream cheese and green chiles, and stir until cream cheese is melted.
Place a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto center of tortilla. (Depending on the size of the tortilla will determine how much filling you need.) Roll tortilla up and place seam-side down in a 13x9 casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray. Top with green enchililada sauce, then sprinkle liberally with cheese.
Bake in a 350 oven for 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and tortillas are heated through. Serve with sour cream and diced green onions as garnish.
