Stacked Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa Verde from A Family Eats

Serves 2

Ingredients:

1 lb tomatillos

2 anaheim peppers

2 poblano peppers

6 cloves garlic

1 bunch green onions (white and green parts)

1 small white onion

1 bunch cilantro

1 cup chicken broth

1 large bone-in, skin-on chicken breast

6 oz monterey jack cheese

Salt, pepper and oregano to taste

2 1/2 cups masa harina

1 1/2 cups warm water

Instructions:

1. Place the tomatillos, peppers and garlic on a foil lined pan and place under the broiler until they look burnt.  Remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle.  Remove the seeds and peel from the peppers.  Remove as much of the skin from the tomatillos as possible and peel the garlic.  Place all in a food processor.

2. Dice the onions and the cilantro and add to the food processor.  Pulse all ingredients until the salsa verde is pureed.

3. Place the salsa verde into a sauce pot along with the chicken broth and salt and pepper to taste and cook until the raw onion taste is gone.  Set aside.

4. Turn the oven down to 350⁰.  Add a rack to the foil lined pan and place chicken breast, skin side up, on the rack and season with salt, pepper and oregano.  Roast for 45 minutes or until done.

5. Mix the masa harina and the warm water together and form into a soft dough.  Cover with plastic wrap and let sit until ready to form and cook.

6. Once the chicken is done remove from oven and let cool enough to touch.

7. Heat a cast iron skillet, griddle or comal over medium-high heat.  Form the corn tortillas between two pieces of plastic and press to desired thickness.  Cook on the heated skillet, flipping once until done.  Set aside.

8. Remove bone, skin and fat from the chicken and shred the meat.  Mix the chicken with some of the salsa verde.

9. In a pan able to hold two stacks, place a little of the salsa verde and top with a tortilla, then chicken mixture then cheese.  Top with another tortilla, then chicken mixture then cheese and a final tortilla and more salsa verde then cheese.

10.Bake in the oven (still at 350⁰) until the cheese is melted and browned.

11.Serve with desired condiments.
