Method

  1. 1

    Boil the chicken breasts 5-10 minutes in slightly salted water until no longer pink.

  2. 2

    Let cool slightly, shred, and separate into 4 (1 cup) piles.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat olive oil in skillet and cook onion and garlic 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add enchilada sauce to the skillet, stir and heat for about 10-15 min.

  5. 5

    Add the cream cheese to the sauce and stir to melt completely. Do not boil; slow simmer is ok.

  6. 6

    Add a spoonful of sauce to the bottom of a 7×9 baking dish and spread to cover the bottom.

  7. 7

    Layout one tortilla and fill with 1 cup shredded chicken, 2 spoonfuls of sauce, a sprinkle of cheese (reserve some for topping), and roll by tucking in the sides first, then rolling forward as you continue to tuck the sides.

  8. 8

    Place the filled enchiladas seam side down in the dish; repeat to roll all 4.

  9. 9

    Pour remaining sauce over top of enchiladas, sprinkle with the rest of the cheese, and bake at 400 for 15-20 min until cheese is melted and browned a bit.

  10. 10

    Pour the 1/2 cup of heated queso cheese sauce all over the top of the enchiladas, and sprinkle with cilantro.
