Creamy Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas

This dish will change your life. They are creamy, spicy, meaty and hearty! They are so special and best of all easy to make. I cook the chicken in the Instant Pot, blend up the tasty sauce, shred the chicken, stuff and bake! So darn good and protein packed. I used Siete Almond Flour tortillas, to keep them gluten free, but you can use any kind of tortillas you like. You can also use Vegan Cream Cheese and Vegan cheese to make them dairy free.

Ingredients

  

Chicken

• 2 chicken breast bone and skin on
• 1 cup water
• 1 onion diced
• 6 garlic cloves whole
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Sauce

• 4 ounces regular or vegan cream cheese
• 1-4 chipotle's in adobo
• salt and pepper to taste
• reserved liquid from chicken

Other ingredients

• 8 flour tortillas I used Siete Almond Tortillas
• 3 cups shredded cheese I used Monterey Jack
• 1 container cultured cottage cheese optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 400
• Place the chicken, water, onion, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper in the Instant Pot. Set for 10 minutes and allow for natural release.
• Remove the chicken, allow to cool, shred and set aside.
• Reserve the remaining ingredients in the Instant Pot and place in blender with the cream cheese, chipotle peppers, salt and pepper to taste.
• Blend until smooth.
• Warm the tortillas on a hot skillet sprayed with oil. It helps make them pliable and stay together and not fall apart.
• Start building your enchiladas by pouring some of the sauce in your pan or casserole (I used a cast iron pan).
• Reserve enough sauce and cheese to cover the top of your enchiladas.
• Place a warm tortilla on a cutting board or clean counter, stuff with chicken, cottage cheese, some sauce and cheese. Place in pan.
• Repeat until you've made all 8 of your enchiladas.
• Pour the remaining sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
