Tonight's Feingold friendly meal is complements of halfmysize.com (but of course I had to adjust it to go with the program). So tonight we had sour cream chicken enchiladas with asparagus...
Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
Serves - 6 (2 enchiladas each)
Ingredients
Sauce:
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Enchiladas:
12 corn tortillas (I used flour)
12 oz. skinless boneless chicken breasts, cooked and chopped
4 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup salsa (I omited this since we can't have tomatoes)
3/4 cup sour cream
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. chili powder (I omited since chili powder is not part of the program)
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium non-stick skillet, combine chicken, cream cheese and salsa. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until mixture is warmed through and cream cheese has melted, stirring occasionally.
Lightly spray a 9"x13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on high for about 1minute or until hot.
To assemble, pour 1/2 cup of sauce into baking dish; spread to cover the bottom of the dish. Put a tortilla on a plate and spoon about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture onto middle of tortilla. Roll tortilla jelly-roll style and place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas.
Cover with foil. Bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lemon juice and chili powder.
When enchiladas have baked for 10 minutes, remove from oven and spread sour cream mixture on top of enchiladas. Sprinkle with nonfat cheddar cheese and additional chili powder, if desired. Bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
NOTES: I added sliced olives to the chicken, a dab of sour cream since we did not add the salsa to the chicken also. I also added a little bit more cheese in the tortilla before I added the chicken.
VERDICT: very good, cheesy and creamy...see the creamy mess on the plate...that's all cheese and sour cream!
