DESCRIPTION

Chicken Enchiladas are the ultimate in family-favorite dishes. Chicken breasts are poached in a highly-flavored liquid; then the liquid does double duty as a sauce when mixed with salsa verde and whipping cream and spooned over the chicken-filled tortilla

  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 5 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 celery stalk, coarsely chopped
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, halved
  • 1/2 medium onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 (7-ounce) can salsa verde
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup chopped seeded tomato
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
