Equipment
- Baking Dish
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken Breast
- ½ cup Labneh
- 4 oz Green Chiles
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powoder
- ½ teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese divided
- 8 Tortillas Siete brand
- 15 oz Green Enchilada Sauce Siete brand
Instructions
- In a large bowl shred your chicken breasts. To the shredded chicken, add labneh, green chilis, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and ½ of the grated cheddar cheese. Mix to combine.
- Add a little oil to a medium pan and heat tortillas one at a time on medium heat for thirty seconds per side, or until tortillas are warm and pliable. Alternatively, you can pop the tortillas in the microwave for twenty seconds until they are warm. If you skip warming the tortillas, they will be more challenging to work with and may tear or break.
- Grease the bottom of a casserole dish with butter or olive oil and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Fill the warm tortillas with 2-3 tablespoons of the enchilada filling, roll it up tightly, and place seam side down in the bottom of the baking dish.
- Top them with the enchilada sauce, then add the remaining cheese.
- Bake the green chicken enchiladas at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling.

Nadia's Expert Tips And Notes
- Timesaving Hack: If you are in a pinch and don't have any leftover chicken in your fridge, you can grab a rotisserie chicken from the store. It's a great way to save time, while still putting a home-cooked meal on the table.
- Meal Prep Tip: If you are assembling the enchiladas in advance, wait to add the enchilada sauce until right before you are ready to bake! This will prevent the enchiladas from getting soggy.
- Baking Tip: Be sure not to overbake! This can lead to dry enchiladas.
- Warm Your Tortillas: Be sure to warm your tortillas before assembling. This will help prevent them from breaking or tearing as you roll them.
