Green Chicken-Enchilada Pies image

This dinner recipe gets its green coloring from mild green tomatillo salsa, which is widely available. Instead of using four small baking dishes, you can bake one pie in an eight-inch dish.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 pound, 6 ounces)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon safflower oil
1 jar (15 ounces) mild green tomatillo salsa (1 3/4 cups)
9 corn tortillas (5-inch), quartered
2 1/4 cups coarsely grated (on the large holes of a box grater) Monterey Jack
Cilantro sprigs, very thinly sliced radish, and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add oil and chicken; cook, flipping once, until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly; shred with two forks.
  • Divide 1/4 cup salsa among four 6-inch, 1 1/2-cup shallow baking dishes. Layer in 12 tortilla quarters, another 1/2 cup salsa, half of shredded chicken, and 3/4 cup cheese, dividing evenly among dishes. Repeat layering. Finish with remaining 12 tortilla quarters, followed by remaining salsa and cheese.
  • Place dishes on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bubbly and tops are golden brown in spots, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving, with accompaniments.

These pies were a little too spicy for my taste, so I added a dollop of sour cream to each one. It helped to mellow out the heat.

I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly. The chicken was tender and flavorful.

I made these pies with a tomatillo salsa instead of enchilada sauce. It gave them a nice fresh flavor.

I used leftover turkey instead of chicken in these pies and they were delicious! The turkey added a nice smoky flavor.

I made these pies in a muffin tin instead of a pie pan. It worked great and the pies were the perfect size for a quick snack or lunch.

I'm allergic to gluten, so I used corn tortillas to make these pies. They turned out great! The corn tortillas held up well in the oven and the flavor was still amazing.

I love that these pies can be made with whole wheat tortillas. It makes them a little healthier and they're still just as delicious.

These pies are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I sneak in some chopped spinach or zucchini into the filling and they never notice.

I've made these pies with both green and red enchilada sauce and they're both delicious. I prefer the green sauce because it's a little more mild.

These pies are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add a can of black beans or corn to the filling for extra flavor and texture.

I love that these pies can be made ahead of time and reheated later. It's perfect for busy weeknights. The flavor is also great, with a nice balance of spices.
