Creamy Swiss-Style Chicken Enchiladas

Creamy Swiss-Style Chicken Enchiladas feature tender chicken and mild green chiles tucked into lightly fried corn tortillas, then bathed in salted cream and blanketed with Monterey Jack. The result is rich, mellow, and gently tangy from the green chile salsa, perfect for a cozy dinner or a special weekend meal. Serve hot with a crisp salad or simple rice to balance the creamy sauce.

Creamy Swiss-Style Chicken Enchiladas
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken, chilies, and salsa until evenly mixed. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a wide, shallow dish, stir together the whipping cream and salt until well blended. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each tortilla in the hot oil until it blisters, 2 to 4 seconds, then immediately dip it into the cream mixture.

  5. 5

    Fill the fried tortillas with the chicken mixture. Roll them and place flap-side down in a baking dish. Pour the remaining cream mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle with cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes.
