Dairy & Gluten Free Green Enchiladas

 

 

Ingredients:

• 2 Chicken Breasts
• 1/2 Medium Yellow Onion, diced
• 2 Zucchinis, shredded
• 12 to 16 Corn Tortillas
• 1/3 Cup Broth (vegetable or meat)
• 1/2 Bunch of Fresh Cilantro, chopped
• 2 1/2 to 3 Cups Green Enchilada Sauce (see homemade green enchilada sauce recipe below)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Cook Chicken:
   • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
   • In a braiser or Dutch oven, add 1/3 cup broth and two chicken breasts. Close the lid and bake for 25 minutes. Shred the chicken with two forks and set aside.
2. Saute Onions and Zucchini:
   • In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, sauté the diced onions and shredded zucchini until the onions are lightly golden brown (about 3 to 5 minutes). Add them to the shredded chicken bowl.
3. Mix Chicken and Veggies with Sauce:
   • Add 3/4 cup of green sauce to the chicken and veggie mixture. Mix well to combine.
4. Assemble Enchiladas:
   • Spread 1/2 cup of green sauce evenly on the bottom of a 13×9 casserole dish.
   • Heat 1/4 cup of green enchiladas sauce in a small pan over low heat. Dip each tortilla in the sauce, ensuring both sides are coated and softened.
   • Fill each tortilla with a handful of the chicken-veggie mixture, fold them, and place them face down in the casserole dish. Repeat until the dish is full.
5. Bake:
   • Top the enchiladas with the remaining green sauce.
   • Bake for 25 minutes at 375°F.
6. Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
