CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH SALSA VERDE
Don't let the one-hour prep time on these enchiladas scare you. Use some leftover roast chicken, or buy a roast chicken at the market on the way home, and you'll save at least 20 minutes, making the dish a terrific weeknight feed, alongside a green salad. (At El Real Tex-Mex restaurant, in Houston, the great Tex-Mex scholar and restaurateur Robb Walsh serves his version with lightly smoked chicken, which if you can find or make is superb.) The salsa verde is dead simple to make and the rest is assembly - a task that grows markedly easier each time you do it.

Steps:
- Prepare the chicken: Place chicken parts in a large saucepan with onion, garlic and salt, and cover with water. Heat pan over high heat until liquid comes to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and let simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove chicken and let cool, reserving stock for another use. Using your fingers or two forks, shred meat from chicken and reserve, discarding skin and bones. (Alternatively, shred meat from leftover or store-bought roast chicken and set aside.)
- Meanwhile, heat oven to 375, and make the salsa verde: Combine tomatillos, onion, garlic, serranos and cilantro in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth, adding water as needed to thin it out a little. Season with salt to taste.
- Prepare the tortillas: In medium sauté pan set over medium-high heat, heat oil until it begins to shimmer. Using tongs or a wide spatula, place a tortilla in the hot fat; it should start to bubble immediately. Heat tortilla for about 10 seconds a side, until soft and lightly browned. Remove tortilla and set on a rack set over a baking pan, or just on a baking pan if you don't have a rack. Repeat with remaining tortillas, working quickly.
- Assemble the enchiladas: Use a ladle to put about 1/2 cup salsa verde in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it out a little. Roll a few tablespoons of shredded chicken into each tortilla with a teaspoon or so of salsa verde and place it seam-side down in the pan, nestling each one against the last. Ladle salsa verde over top of rolled tortillas and sprinkle with about half the crumbled cheese.
- Transfer to oven and bake until sauce bubbles and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Dot with crema, sprinkle with remaining cheese and, if using, chopped onion, then serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- If the chicken breasts are super thick, I slice them in half, horizontally, to get breasts with a more even thickness, otherwise you can just pound them slightly to flatten out the thick end. Evening out the thickness of the meat means it will cook more evenly.
- Place the chicken breasts into the prepared pan.
- Stir together the sour cream and soup. Spread the sauce in an even layer over the top of the chicken breasts.
- Pour the contents of the stuffing box into a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin to crush the stuffing mix into fine crumbs.
- Once the stuffing is crushed, add the Parmesan cheese to the bag. Shake the bag so all the crumbs and herbs form the stuffing are combined with the Parmesan.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan/stuffing mixture over the sauce on your chicken. Use it all. It will seem like a thick layer, but trust me, it's perfect!
- Distribute the butter slices over the top of the crumbs.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. Internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees.

Steps:
- Combine chicken, green chiles and green chile salsa and mix well.
- Mix salt and heavy cream in a medium-sized bowl.
- Heat about 1/2 inch oil in a small skillet.
- Dip each tortilla into hot oil for about 5 seconds, just to soften.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Dip each fried tortilla into bowl containing cream and salt, coating each side.
- Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture.
- Roll and place in ungreased flat baking dish.
- Pour remaining cream over enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
Tips:
- Prep the chicken ahead of time: You can cook the chicken up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you're making the enchiladas.
- Use a variety of cheeses: A blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack, will give your enchiladas a gooey, flavorful filling.
- Don't overfill the tortillas: Overfilling the tortillas will make them difficult to roll and will also make them more likely to break apart.
- Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will typically take about 20 minutes.
- Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and pico de gallo.
Conclusion:
These Supreme Chicken Enchiladas are a delicious and easy meal that the whole family will love. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. With a little planning, you can have them on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these enchiladas a try.
