These chicken enchiladas put a little zip into any menu. The rolled tortillas are filled with a hearty mixture of cheese, chicken and green chilies and then topped with a creamy sauce and more cheese. I sometimes use leftover turkey instead of chicken. —Karen Bourne, Magrath, Alberta
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2-1/2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried coriander
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, divided
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese
8 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in coriander and half of the chilies. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, Monterey Jack cheese and remaining chilies.
2. Spoon 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto each tortilla; roll up. Place seam side down in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Pour sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.
