Chicken Enchiladas Salsa Verde image

If you're pressed for time, use a store-bought green sauce (made from tomatillos) and shredded store-bought rotisserie chicken for a quicker version of this dish. These bubbling, subtle-tasting enchiladas are even better with a cool, crunchy salad on top.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups Green Sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus 2 teaspoons more for dressing the salad
12 corn tortillas, toasted, stacked, and wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to steam
4 cups shredded chicken (from a 3-pound poached chicken)
7 ounces queso fresco, crumbled, or shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3 to 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce, washed and dried
6 radishes, trimmed and sliced
1 teaspoon white vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat a saucepan to medium high and add a tablespoon of oil. Carefully pour in the green sauce and cook, stirring constantly to thicken up, about 3 minutes. One by one dip the tortillas in the sauce, place in an ungreased 9 x 13-inch baking dish, fill with some chicken, and roll up. Fit each enchilada snugly next to the other in the baking dish. Pour the remaining green sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the enchiladas are heated through.
  • Meanwhile, toss the lettuce and radishes with the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil, the vinegar, and salt and pepper. Layer the salad on top of the hot enchiladas and serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my enchiladas turned out dry and bland.

I'm not a big fan of salsa verde, but I really enjoyed these enchiladas. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and gooey.

The chicken enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

These enchiladas were easy to make and very delicious. I used store-bought salsa verde and they still turned out great.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The salsa verde is tangy and flavorful, and the chicken is moist and tender. I will definitely be making this again!
