  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
  • 6 large whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • Light sour cream (for topping)
  • Chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breasts for about 6–7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Allow cooling slightly before shredding.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with minced garlic, cream cheese, chili powder, and diced green chiles until creamy.
  4. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. In a small saucepan, warm the chicken broth and additional chili powder over low heat.
  6. Pour the warm sauce over enchiladas and top with shredded cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20–25 minutes.
  7. Remove foil during the last 5 minutes to crisp up edges. Serve with light sour cream and chopped cilantro on top.
