Recipe Ingredients

2 cups cooked, chopped chicken breast
1 tbsp butter
2 cans Ro*Tel tomatoes
1 small can chopped green chilies
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups shredded Monterrey jack and cheddar cheese
1 pint heavy whipping cream
12-20 flour tortillas
Cherry tomatoes and green onions to garnish

Directions

In a skillet, heat the butter until melted. Add the onions, Ro*Tel and green chilies and saute until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the chicken to the mixture and stir well.

Coat a baking dish with non-stick spray. Spoon the chicken mixture in the center of a tortilla. Top with shredded cheese and roll.

Place the tortilla seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat until the chicken mixture is used up. Sprinkle the top of the tortillas with the remaining shredded cheese.

Drizzle heavy whipping cream on top of the tortillas and cheese.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until tops of enchiladas are golden brown.

Garnish with cherry tomatoes and green onions.
