This dish was submitted by Jessica's cousin Heather. It's one of her favorites, and anything with the word enchilada in it gets a thumbs up from me, so I'm looking forward to trying it out very soon.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken in pan of rapidly boiling water, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, cool, and shred chicken.
Step 2
In a medium sized skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook bell peppers and onion until just soft, about 5-8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add chicken, cheddar cheese, green chiles, salsa, cilantro, cumin, and chipotle chiles if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.
Step 3
Grease a 10x15x2 inch baking pan, or two smaller pans. Place one flour tortilla on a flat surface and add about 1/2 cup of shredded chicken mixture along one edge. Roll up the tortilla from the filling side and place seam side down in the pan. Repeat this process until the chicken mixture is gone.
Step 4
Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over the enchiladas. This may be prepared up to this point in advance if you wish. Combine cream and chicken broth and pour over enchiladas.
Step 5
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove foil and continue baking for 10 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
Step 6
Place one or two enchiladas on individual serving plates and garnish with avocado, tomatoes, and additional cilantro, if desired.
