×

Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- to taste
- to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 7-10 minutes per side. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Once cool, shred the chicken using two forks or chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, half of the shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro. Mix well.
- Spread a thin layer of green enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Take each tortilla, fill it with the chicken mixture, and roll it up. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining green enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
