This was a first-time go with this Jessica Seinfeld-inspired dinner and it turned out much better than I expected! Great flavor, great texture, and super easy to pull off!
Chicken Enchilada
In a large sauce pan:
-Put 1 package of cut-up chicken breasts with a bit of olive oil and garlic powder (or fresh minced garlic)
-Saute until chicken is cooked through.
Remove from heat, then mix in:
-1/2 c. sweet potato puree (make your own or buy an organic canned version*)
-1/4 c. greek yogurt or sour cream
-1 can of black beans**
-3/4 c. cheddar or colby jack shredded cheese
In a greased 9 x 13 baking dish:
-Wrap prepared chicken mixture into 6 tortillas and place each one seam down in the pan.
-Top with spinach puree, salsa, and cheese
-Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
*This Farmers Market brand is available at most mainstream grocery stores.
**This is a great trick for stretching your meat content in any mexican dish; mix in black beans either in combination with or instead of the meat called for. Economically and ecologically responsible!
