Ingredients

  • 1/4 C. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 can (4 oz.) diced green chilies, drained
  • 3 oz. cream cheese
  • 1/4 t. salt
  • 1/3 C. vegetable oil
  • 10 fajita-size flour tortillas
  • 1/3 C. half-and-half
  • 1 C. shredded Montery Jack cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add chicken, cook 5 more minutes. Turn off heat; stir in chiles, cream cheese and salt.

3. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tortilla and cook for a few second until tortilla becomes limp. Remove to a per-towel-lined tray. Repeat with all of the tortillas.

4. Spoon 1/3 C. filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll and set, seam-side down, in prepared baking dish. Drizzle evenly with half-and-half and sprinkle with shredd cheese.

5. Bake, covered at 350 degrees for 23 minutes or until top is golden. Cool slightly before serving.
