26 steps
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- 3 cups sodium-free chicken broth or 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 12 bunch cilantro (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, whole
- 1 small onion, halved
- green hot pepper sauce, to taste
- 12 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
- 1 bay leaf, dried
- 14 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 8 flour tortillas or 8 corn tortillas
- 1 (17 1/4 ounce) jar enchilada sauce (I use Pace) or 1 14 cups homemade enchilada sauce
- 16 ounces shredded cheese (cheddar and monterey jack are good, but any combination you like will work)
Directions
-
1Bring chicken broth to a boil.
-
2Add lime juice, halved onion, garlic cloves, cilantro, bay leaf, cinnamon, and hot pepper sauce.
-
3Add chicken breast.
-
4Boil for 10-15 minutes at medium heat, or until chicken is no longer pink.
-
5Remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool.
-
6Turn heat up on chicken broth and allow to reduce until one cup remains (about 20 minutes).
-
7While chicken broth is reducing, shred chicken breasts into a bowl and set aside.
-
8Remove cilantro and bay leaf from broth and discard.
-
9Remove onion and garlic from broth and cool until you can handle them.
-
10Chop finely and add to chicken.
-
11Mix flour into milk and add slurry to chicken broth, whisking constantly.
-
12Cook for a few minutes until thick and bubbly.
-
13Pour over chicken and onion mixture.
-
14Add 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce.
-
15Add 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.
-
16Allow to cool.
-
17While chicken mixture is cooling, heat enchilada sauce and add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
-
18Simmer for a few minutes, enough to heat through and for the cinnamon to blend in well.
-
19Microwave flour tortillas for 1 minute (or less, depending on your microwave) until just warmed.
-
20Remove enchilada sauce from heat.
-
21Place all 8 tortillas on your counter.
-
22Fill all 8 tortillas at the same time (this is to make sure each one gets the same amount of filling).
-
23Roll tortillas and place into a greased 9x13 pan.
-
24Top with enchilada sauce and cheese.
-
25Bake at 350 degrees Farenheit for 20- 30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
-
26Serve with sour cream to top.
