June 1, 2010 by Arena Blake 4 Comments

These are the *creamiest* enchiladas EVER. The Ro*Tel and green chilies add just a bit of kick to them. You will seriously get full after just eating one.
Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked, chopped boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp. butter
2 cans Ro*Tel (original or mild)
1 can chopped green chilies
1 small onion, chopped
12-20 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterrey jack and cheddar cheese
1 pint heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt butter in a skillet. Add onion, Ro*Tel and green chilies.

 Saute until onions are translucent, about five minutes.
Add in the chicken and stir well.
Spray baking dish with non-stick spray.
Spoon about 2-3 heaping teaspoons of chicken mixture down the center of a tortilla.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
Roll tortilla and place seam-side down in baking dish. Repeat until chicken mixture is used up.
Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top of the rolled enchiladas.
