Ingredients
- 4 boneless , skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion , chopped
- 1 , 14.5 ounce
- 1 , 14.5 ounce
- 1 , 10.5 ounce
- 1 , 10 ounce
- 12 small chile peppers , Optional
- 1 bunch green onions , chopped, divided
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 , 6 inch
- 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese , divided
- 1 , 10 ounce
Instructions

1
Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch strips; place in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Add desired marinade; toss until chicken coated in marinade. Cover bowl; marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
-
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
3
Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
-
4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and chopped onion; cook until chicken is evenly browned. Stir in stewed tomatoes, soup, broth, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, and diced chile peppers; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover skillet, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes.

5
Remove chicken from skillet; shred when cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, continue simmering tomato mixture in skillet until reduced to about 2 1/4 cups.
-
6
Combine shredded chicken and about 1/4 cup reduced tomato mixture (just enough to make a paste-like mixture) in a medium bowl; stir in 1/2 bunch chopped green onions. Pour remaining 2 cups reduced tomato mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

7
Heat cream in a separate skillet over low heat, being careful not to boil. Dip tortillas into warm cream to soften and coat; transfer to a work surface. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto each tortilla; top each with about 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Roll up tortillas to enclose filling. Place rolled tortillas in the baking dish, seam-sides down, and drizzle with enchilada sauce. Cover with remaining 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese; sprinkle remaining 1/2 bunch chopped green onions over cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.

With farmers' markets overflowing with the most wonderful summer produce, what better way to embrace this seasonal bounty than a salad that combines fresh heirloom tomatoes, peppery arugula, white nectarines, and sliced avocado.
