I wanted to make chicken enchiladas but couldn't find a recipe that I had the ingredients for. So, I made this up using what I had on hand. It is mildly spicy. Add more peppers/cayenne or hot sauce to liven it up a bit.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped

  • 1 chile pepper, seeded and chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half, cubed

  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder

  • ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

  • ½ cup shredded pepperjack cheese

  • 2 cups tortilla chips, or to taste

  • 2 tablespoons pico de gallo, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute onion, jalapeno pepper, chile pepper, and garlic until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

  3. Mix flour-butter mixture and sour cream into chicken mixture; cook and stir until sauce is thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Add pepperjack cheese to sauce and stir until melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
