I used to make this dish a lot with the Sam's Club brand chicken because the cans came with the recipe. I have since lost the copy of the recipe but I conjured up my own version tonight and I think I got it spot on! Easy, cheap, and delicious...my kind of meal :-)
1 can chicken
1 4oz can green chilis, chopped
1 cup (approximate) of salsa verde or verde enchilada sauce
5-7 tortillas (depends on how stuffed you like your enchiladas!)
1 cup (approximate) heavy cream
2 cups (approximate) shredded cheese (I like monterey jack but you can use your favorite Mexican blend!)
Preheat oven to 350. Grease the bottom of a shallow pan, about 10 x 14.
Mix the chicken, green chilis, and salsa together in a medium bowl, shredding the chicken as you mix. Scoop portions of the mixture into the tortillas, fold, and place seam-side down into the pan. Cover the stuffed tortillas with the heavy cream (I found cream by aMexican company, Cacique, famous for its cheeses, and it was a bit cheaper than good ol' heavy cream), enough to cover the tops completely.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until cream is bubbling. Top with your desired amount of cheese and bake 5-10 minutes longer.
You top with some more of the salsa/enchilada sauce, (red) salsa, and/or sour cream to spice it up even more. Serve with your favorite Mexican sides!
One version I read online include using a can of refried beans in the mixture - I am trying that next time!!
