Directions

  1. 1Cook chicken breasts in water with half a white onion, 2 garlic cloves, 2 bay leaves, and chicken bouillon powder.
  2. 2Cover the pot, and once the water boils, turn down the heat to low and cook for about 30 minutes.
  3. 3Once the chicken is cooked, shred it.
  4. 4Season the shredded chicken with salt and black pepper.
  5. 5Add Monterey Jack cheese to the shredded chicken.
  6. 6For the salsa, roast 3 chiles poblanos (with seeds removed) in a pan.
  7. 7Add 7 tomatillos to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes max to avoid bitterness.
  8. 8Add 3 chiles serranos to the pan for a spicier salsa, or use jalapeños instead.
  9. 9Once the chiles poblanos are nicely toasted, add them to a bag to sweat, making them easier to peel.
  10. 10To the blender, add the peeled chiles poblanos, roasted tomatillos, and chiles serranos.
  11. 11Add a small piece of white onion and 2 garlic cloves to the blender.
  12. 12Add a whole can of media crema (table cream) to the blender.
  13. 13Pour half a cup of the water used to boil the chicken into the blender.
  14. 14Season the salsa mixture with a spoonful of chicken bouillon powder and black pepper.
  15. 15Blend the salsa until smooth.
  16. 16Fry corn tortillas in oil for about 10 seconds on each side to prevent them from breaking when rolling.
  17. 17To a pan, add a small layer of the prepared salsa.
  18. 18Dip each fried tortilla into the sauce, fill with chicken and cheese, and roll them.
  19. 19Place the rolled enchiladas into the pan on top of the salsa.
  20. 20Pour the remaining salsa over the enchiladas.
  21. 21Add Monterey Jack cheese on top of the enchiladas.
  22. 22Cover the pan and let it simmer on low heat until the cheese melts.
