CREAMY POBLANO CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
Have you never done enchiladas before? No problem. These Poblano sour cream chicken enchiladas are so simple to make and so good!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 12 corn tortillas, warmed
- 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 8 ounces shredded pepper jack cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 poblano peppers, seeds and stems removed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
First, in a large saucepan, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add garlic and peppers and cook in butter until softened, about 10 minutes.
Then, add 2 tablespoons of butter and, once it is melted, sprinkle the flour over the top of the peppers and garlic. Stir and cook the flour for about a minute. This will create a thick paste that coats the vegetables.
Add the chicken broth and stir until there are no more bouquets of flour. Using an immersion blender (see note), puree the mixture until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Add the milk and stir. Keep the sauce on low heat (do not let it boil) and stir until it thickens. You know it's ready when you can pass the spatula or spoon to the bottom of the pan and see the pan before the sauce comes back on.
Add the chopped cilantro and salt, stir and turn off the burner.
Preheat the oven to 375 ° F. While the oven is preheating, assemble the enchiladas. Coat the bottom of a 9 × 13 ″ baking dish with a light layer of sauce. Place grated chicken on a tortilla, roll it up and place it in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and chicken.
Pour the sauce over the top of the tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the grated cheese in an even layer on top.
Bake the enchiladas uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling. Squeeze the lime juice over the top of the enchiladas and garnish with coriander before serving. Happy Cooking Time.
