Can you tell enchiladas are my husband's favorite thing ever? Since I get sick of having the same thing all the time, I try to put new little twists on old favorites. Although this is far from authentic Mexican, it sure tasted good. Plus, this is another meal that makes 2 pans, so it's perfect for freezing.
For the sauce:
2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup (I use the 98% fat free kind to lighten this up)
2 1/2 cups fat free sour cream
1/3-1/2 cup dried minced onions
1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1-2 tsp. canned diced green chilis
1 tsp. lemon juice
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
For the enchiladas:
1 cup grilled chicken, cut into bite-size pieces
2 cups broccoli, cut into small bite-size pieces
1 small can sliced black olives, drained
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
1 tsp. olive oil
8-10 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese, divided (I use part-skim mozzarella)
Preheat oven to 450. Spray one large or two small baking dishes lightly with cooking spray. In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil. Saute onion and pepper until softened. In a small pot, steam or boil broccoli until tender but still crisp (don't overcook--remember it will be baked too). When onions and peppers are starting to brown and broccoli is done, add chicken, broccoli, olives, and about 3/4 cup sauce mixture (enough to make a moist but not runny filling) to the skillet. Spread 1/4 cup sauce mixture onto bottom of prepared pan(s). In each tortilla, place a few tablespoons of the chicken-broccoli filling and a sprinkle of cheese, then roll up. Place seam-side down in prepared baking pan(s). Repeat with remaining tortillas until filling is gone. Spread remaining sauce over the top, then sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until browned, bubbling, and heated through. Watch closely so it doesn't burn! Serve with black beans and a greens salad.
