ingredients
- 4 lbs bone-in chicken breasts (about 5)
- 32 ounces mild salsa verde (two jars)
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 16 ounces frozen corn, thawed
- 1 lb muenster cheese or 1 lb monterey jack cheese, grated
- 8 (9 inch) flour tortillas
directions
- Place the chicken in a large pot, add enough water to cover, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer until cooked through, 25-35 minutes; remove from pot and let cool.
- Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred, discarding meat and bones.
- Meanwhile, in a blender puree the salsa, cilantro and 1 cup of the sour cream until smooth. Transfer the puree to a saucepan to simmer the sauce until thickened, 15-20 minutes. Stir in the remaining cup of sour cream.
- To the shredded chicken add the corn, 1 cup of the sauce, 1 cup of cheese and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
- Spread 1 cup of the remaining sauce in two 9x13" baking dishes. Roll the chicken mixture in the tortillas (about 1/2 cup per tortilla) and place seam side down in the dishes. Top each dish of enchiladas with 1 cup of the remaining sauce and cheese.
- Heat through in oven at 375F for 20-25 minutes.
