These enchiladas freeze beautifully and are fast to make. I like cooking the chicken breasts in my Instant Pot, although a rotisserie chicken can be used for even faster recipe prep.

Ingredients

  • 3 large skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
  • 0.5 cups water
  • 1 medium onion , chopped
  • 1 can diced green chiles , 4 ounce
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 package corn tortillas , 10 ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place chicken breasts, water, and onion in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  2. 2

    Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain off water. Shred chicken using 2 forks. Mix in green chiles.

  3. 3

    Combine chicken mixture with Monterey Jack cheese. Spoon some of the chicken filling into the middle of each tortilla and roll up tightly. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish; arrange filled tortillas in the dish.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add water, chicken stock concentrate, and cumin; whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Stir in Greek yogurt, pepper Jack cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Do not boil, as yogurt may curdle.

  6. 6

    Pour sauce over enchiladas in the casserole dish.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven until cheeses melt, about 22 minutes. Broil on high until top browns, about 3 minutes.
