Ingredients

    4 lbs. Boneless, skinless chicken breast
    2 T Olive oil
    1 T chicken seasoning
    12 oz. Italian cheeses blend, shredded
    16 medium whole wheat tortillas
    Enchilada sauce ingredients below
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon flour
    1/4 cup chili powder
    2 cups chicken stock
    12 ounces tomato paste
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon salt

Tips

I did hold out about 4 T of the cheese to sprinkle on top of enchiladas when I took out of oven. I used a whisk to make the sauce.


Directions

Cut up 4 lbs. of chicken breast into bite size pieces (I use kitchen shears), coat with 1 T of chicken seasoning and 2 T of olive oil. Place on cooking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Break back up (as the pieces tend to stick together during cooking). Put 1/4 cup of chicken and 1/4 cup of italian cheese on each tortilla, fold in sides and roll up placing in non-stick sprayed 9 by 13 dishes, you will need 2. Cover enchiladas with sauce (directions below) half for each pan. Place in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Sprinkle cheese that was held out on top to make pretty. Top each enchilada with 1 T light sour cream as served.

enchilada sauce

In a medium saucepan heat oil, add flour, smoothing and stirring with a wooden spoon. Cook for 1 minute. Add chili powder and cook for 30 seconds. Add stock, tomato paste, oregano, and cumin. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. The sauce will thicken and smooth out.
