Chicken Enchiladas
Enchiladas de Pollo
1 pkg. chicken breasts (1 to 1-1/2 lbs.)
1 jar (or 1 C) chicken gravy
4 oz. green chiles, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/2 C black olives, sliced
Flour tortillas
Sour cream to taste (optional)
Shredded mozzarella, cheddar or pepper jack cheese
Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cook all of the ingredients (except tortillas) in a slow cooker or crock pot on low setting for four to five hours. Take chicken out of the sauce and shred by hand for the best result. Fill individual tortillas with the chicken, sauce and sour cream. Roll tortillas, tucking edges inside. Place enchiladas in a lightly greased baking dish. Pour excess sauce over the top and sprinkle with sliced black olives and shredded cheese. Bake at 350-degrees F for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Garnish with fresh-chopped cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve.
Quick Substitution: Use canned chicken instead of slow-cooked chicken breasts.
Variation: Prepare the recipe above, but also top with cooked and crumbled hot Italian sausage (see picture at right; click on image to view larger size in a new window).
