Yum....comfort food! And a great way to use that leftover chicken breast or two!

10 enchiladas (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 11x7" glass pyrex dish with cooking spray.

    Shred or cube the leftover chicken.
  3. 3
    In a large skillet, cook the onion and garlic in the canola oil until soft.
  4. 4
    Add the chicken, Rotel tomatoes and salt. Simmer approximately 10 minutes on medium-low heat.
  5. 5
    Combine half and half and bouillon - heat 30 seconds at a time in microware until bouillon cubes melts and can be fully mixed together. (Shouldn't need more than 1 minute). Set aside.

    After the 20 minutes cooking time, remove enchiladas from oven, cover completely with the cheeses, and bake for 5 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.

    Serve with some hot Spanish rice, and some fresh guacamole on the side!

We enjoyed this cheesy enchilada dish, In place of the Rotel tomatoes (cant get here) I used Italian tomatoes which had chili and garlic added..it worked fine. Loved the flavours of the 3 different cheeses. Thanks for sharing.

    Very mild and cheesey. I used some shredded chicken from the deli for a very easy meal. I also added in some chopped red & green peppers that I had in the fridge. Just before serving I sprinkled over a little chopped parsley. Thanks for posting
