Preparation

Step 1

1 Combine chicken, salt and enough water to cover in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 20 minutes; drain. Chop chicken into 1/2-inch pieces.

2 Preheat the oven to 350F.

3 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion in hot butter until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in chicken, cream cheese and green chiles.

4 Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continually, until cream cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.

5 Spoon 1/4 cup mixture onto center of each tortilla. Roll to enclose filling. Arrange seam side down in a 13x9-inch baking dish.

6 Sprinkle Monterey Jack on top of the enchiladas. Drizzle with whipping cream. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 25 to 35 minutes.
