These enchiladas freeze beautifully and are fast to make. I like cooking the chicken breasts in my Instant Pot, although a rotisserie chicken can be used for even faster recipe prep.

Ingredients

  • skinless, boneless chicken breast halves: 3 piece
  • water: 0.5 cup
  • medium onion: 1 piece (chopped)
  • green Chilis: 1 can (4 ounce can, diced)
  • Monterey Jack cheese: 1 cup (shredded)
  • corn tortillas, warmed: 1 pack (10 ounce pack)
  • butter: 3 Tbsp
  • all-purpose flour: 3 Tbsp
  • water: 1 cup
  • chicken stock concentrate (such as Better than Bouillon®): 1 tsp
  • ground cumin: 0.5 tsp
  • plain Greek yogurt: 1 cup
  • pepper jack cheese: 0.5 cup
  • Monterey Jack cheese: 0.5 cup (shredded)

  1. Place chicken breasts, water, and onion in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Stir in Greek yogurt, pepper Jack cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Do not boil, as yogurt may curdle.
