Zesty Chicken Enchiladas


We tried this the other night and it was really really
good! Betsy Stephenson

1 tbs canola oil
1 lb tomatillos, chopped
1 onion (preferably white), chopped
1 poblano pepper seeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper
1 c heavy cream
1 2- to 21/2-pound rotisserie chicken, meat
shredded
1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
11/4 cups grated Monterey Jack (5 oz)
8 6-inch corn tortillas
Pico de Gallo (Recipe following) or salsa

Directions:
Heat oven to 400 F. Heat the oil in a large skillet
over medium-
high heat. Add the tomatillos, onion, poblano, garlic,
cumin,
and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally,
until the
vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer
to a food
processor, add the cream, and puree.

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, tomatoes, 1
cup of the
cheese, 1/2 cup of the tomatillo sauce, and 1/2
teaspoon each
salt and pepper.

Warm the tortillas according to the package
directions. Spread
1 cup of the remaining sauce in a 9-by-13 inch
baking dish.
Roll the chicken mixture in the tortillas and place
them in the
dish, seam-side down.

Top with the remaining sauce and cheese (we
added a little
extra cheese). Bake until beginning to brown, 10 to
15
minutes. Serve with Pico de Gallo.
