Ingredients

  • 5 Whole Chicken Breasts
  • 4 Cups Chicken broth
  • 2 Cups Water
  • 1/2 Bunch Cilantro Little of the tops reserved
  • 2 Tbsp Adobo seasoning divided
  • 1 Tbsp Aleppo pepper divided
  • 1 Tbsp Paprika divided
  • 1/4 Whole Yellow onion diced
  • 2 Tsp Cumin
  • 2 Tsp Fresh cracked black pepper
  • 2 Tsp Chili pepper
  • 29 Ounces Enchilada sauce
  • 24 Ounces Mexican cheese
  • 10 Whole Corn tortillas
  • 2 Cans Green chilies
  • 2 Whole Poblanos

Instructions

  1. Start by adding the first 7 ingredients to the pressure cooker. Cook for 30 minutes (It cooks longer as it de-pressurizes) - reserve the remaining liquid. Let cool and once cool, pull using 2 forks.

    At the same time, roast the poblanos over an open fire to char them well. Stick in a paper bag for up to 20 minutes. Peel the outer skin, dice and set aside.

    Add the last oil to a skillet. When warm, add the the onion and the rest of the seasonings (1/2 of the divided spices). Cook for 3 - 4 minutes, then add the chicken and remaining spices. Mix well. Now add a good amount of the liquid and the cilantro tops. Simmer for 5 - 10 minutes. Toast the tortillas and warm the enchilada sauce.

    Begin to assemble the enchiladas, take the tortillas and lay on the countertop. Start by putting some sauce; then the chicken, green chilies and poblanos and cheese (8 ounces or so). Roll up each filled tortilla and place into a 9" x 13" baking dish that. Generously, top the enchilada sauce down the middle of the tortillas. Finish by adding a whole lot of cheese.

    Bake for 10 - 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

    Serve and enjoy!
