Preparation

Step 1

In a wide frying pan over medium heat cook the onions in butter for 10 minutes. Add the garlic. Stir frequently to keep onions from burning. Cook an additional 10 minutes over low heat until onions turn a light golden color. Remove onions from pan and saute the chicken until cooked but tender.
Remove pan from heat and add cooked onion, tomatoes, and cream cheese; stir gently to blend, and season with salt. Add hot sauce to taste.
Pour a little of the green sauce in bottom of 9 x 13 baking pan. Spoon about 1 tbsp of filling down center of each tortilla and roll. Set enchiladas, seam side down in baking pan. Continue until pan is full. Cover with remaining sauce and top with grated cheese. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes at 375°.
Garnish with the green onions, cut into 1/8 inch pieces.
Serve with arugula on the side.
