Recipe: Green chicken enchiladas

August 13, 2019 by Shari

When I came across a can of tomatillos at my local green grocer – I knew that I had to get busy making some green chicken enchiladas. You see tomatillos are the key ingredient in a good Mexican salsa verde. And I hardly ever see them in Australia.

My salsa verde recipe consists of a can of tomatillos, a white onion, three-four cloves of garlic, a jalapeno, a half bunch of coriander and the zest and juice of a lime – blitzed until you reach your desired texture and then seasoned with salt and a little olive oil.

These green chicken enchiladas are creamy and delicious and pair nicely with a simple rice side (seasoned with tumeric and salt).

Recipe: Green chicken enchiladas

  • 1 can of tomatillos
  • 1 white onion
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 bunch of coriander
  • lime
  • 2 brown onions
  • 2 green capsicums
  • 2 jalapenos
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
  • 4-6 chicken thighs
  • 1 block of cream cheese
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 20 flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • olive oil
  • sea salt

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, capsicum and one jalapeno and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in chicken, garlic, oregano, cumin and coriander seeds until fragrant and the chicken is browned.

In a food processor, blitz together the can of tomatillos, white onion, a jalapeno, garlic, 1/2 bunch of coriander, lime juice and zest. Blitz until finely chopped and then season with olive oil and sea salt.

In large bowl, combine 1/3 of the salsa verde mixture with the creamed cheese and the cooked chicken mixture.

To assemble the enchiladas, lay tortilla on a flat surface and spoon 1/2-3/4 cups of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down onto prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Top with remaining salsa verde and the grated cheese.

Place into oven and bake until bubbly, about 35-40 minutes. Serve immediately, topped with dollops of sour cream and fresh coriander.

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new foll Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new followers of late. I wonder if you’re here because of my reels?? (And if so, you’ll probably also want to follow @smallbusinessgrowthclub )

If you are new… here is a little intro… I’m Shari - a mum of four small boys (although their little hands seem to be getting better and bigger). They are nine, seven, five and three.

I whip up quick and easy meals for my family. I currently work full time and so the content juggle is real 😩

But the thing is, I actually also have a blog - www.GoodFoodWeek.com.au - so you can drop by there for some of my tried and tested favourites. I’m fact, this Spanish beef is one of the most viewed recipes on the blog!

And if you aren’t new - I’d love to hear what are some of your favourite recipes from my blog.

I feel like the boys have had an overload of chocolate and I want to take it back to healthier alternatives… 

But in our household, I feel like everyone goes through stages. One week they’ll eat all the bananas in one day, so the following week I’ll order 3kgs instead of 1kg and no one will eat banana 🤦🏼‍♀️

I mean, I freeze them for smoothies or make banana bread so they don’t go to waste. 

But I’m keen to hear what snacks are popular in your household at the moment?

I’ve been reading a lot about self love of late. I feel like there is so much self sacrifice when you’re a mother, and yet I am starting to realise that I need to love myself first to be a better mum and partner.

So here is to starting with something small for me. These @byronbaycookies are the business!!

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
