Chicken Enchiladas

My favorite, FAVORITE enchilada recipe.  Here's the best part....It's low fat!  I found this recipe when searching for weight watcher recipes.  I fell upon this blog (www.skinnytaste.com) which has a ton of great recipes.

{(I usually double this recipe, because it goes so fast)(also this can be on the spicy side, light up on the chipotle seasoning if you want it more mild)}

For the sauce:
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-2 tbsp chipotle chilis in adobo sauce
1-1/2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3/4 cup fat free chicken broth
kosher salt and fresh pepper to taste

For the chicken:
1 tsp vegetable oil
8.5 oz (2 breast halves) cooked, shredded chicken breast
1 cup diced onion (I've used a tbsp of dried onions)
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup cilantro
kosher salt
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp chipotle chili powder
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup tomato sauce
8 (6-inch) reduced carb whole wheat flour tortillas
1 cup shredded low fat Mexican cheese
Nonstick cooking spray

In a medium saucepan, spray oil and saute garlic.  Add chipotle chiles, chili powder, cumin, chicken broth, tomato sauce, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes.  Set aside until ready to use.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Heat the vegetable oil in skillet over medium heat.  Sauté onions and garlic on low until soft, about 2 minutes.  Add chicken, salt, cilantro, cumin, oregano, chili powder, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and cook 4 to 5 minutes.  Remove from heat.

Spray a 13x9 glass baking dish with non-stick spray.  Put 1/3 cup chicken mixture into each tortilla, place seam side down.  top with sauce and cheese.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the oven on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes.  Top with low fat sour cream or scallions if you wish.

*I saw a tip on storing extra cilantro...finely chop cilantro and pack in ice cube trays, then fill with chicken stock and freeze.  I used frozen cilantro cubes in this recipe and it works great!
