10oz. of chicken breast shredded.
8-9 green tomatoes
8 cups of baby spinach (sliced in strips)
jalapenos
2 cups of chicken broth (from same boiled chicken)
1/2 medium white onion (diced)

2 tbsp. of olive oil

Green Tomato and Chili Sauce : Clean 8-9 green tomatoes and blend with 2 cups of chicken broth (used from boiling chicken breast) and 1-2 cups of water. Be sure you remove all fatty items with a strainer. Add garlic, white pepper, salt and fresh jalapenos to taste. Once blended bring to a boil. Continue to simmer for the right consistency.
Add 2 tbs of olive oil to pan. add white 1/2 of the white onion to the pan and stir until the onion are clear. Add the shredded chicken and stir. Add 8 cups spinach and cover pan for a couple minutes. Add 1 cup of Green Tomato sauce to pan in order to avoid drying out the chicken and to add flavor to the enchilada filling.
Prepare baking pans with olive oil spray (super light) and add green sauce to avoid dry enchiladas.
Heat the tortillas on the griddle and mash the cheese into small pieces for enchiladas filling.
Once all of the tortillas are warmed start your prep station to dip the tortillas in the warm green sauce then add a tbsp (or two) of chicken, onion and spinach blend to the tortilla and roll. Place on baking pan until complete. Use any left over sauce to top over the enchiladas.
Bake at 325 for 20 min.
The trick for this recipe is the sauce. The better the sauce the tastier the enchilada. It may take a few attempts but once you get it right. MMMM MMM MM.
The salads were just slice, dice and mix.
Enjoy.
