Ingredients
| 2 | pounds baked (bone-in or boneless skinless) |
|---|---|
| 1 | pound roasted |
| 1 | chopped |
| 10 | |
| 1 | |
| 8 | ounces |
| cooked |
Instructions
| 1. | To roast the poblano peppers, carefully slice them in half, remove the seeds, flatten the halves with the palm of your hand, and place them skin-side-up on a baking sheet. Broil for approximately 10 minutes on the top rack of the oven until the skin is brown and bubbly. Immediately transfer the peppers to a plastic bag or container, then refrigerate to ease the process of peeling the skin off later. |

| 2. | Meanwhile, season the chicken with garlic salt and black pepper, then bake at 425°F for approximately 30 minutes. |
| 3. | Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Allow the chicken to rest to retain its juiciness. Reserve any cooking juices. Shred the chicken by gently pulsing it in a blender or using two forks to pull it apart. Set the shredded chicken aside. |
| 4. | Peel and discard the skin from the cooled poblano peppers. Place the poblano 'meat' in a blender, add the cream of chicken soup and the reserved juice from the chicken's baking pan. Puree the mixture until smooth. |
| 5. | Take approximately 2 tablespoons of the shredded chicken and place it in a tortilla. Top it with a portion of shredded cheese and chopped onion. Roll up the tortilla and place it in an 11x13 baking dish. Repeat this process for all the tortillas in the package. |
| 6. | Sprinkle any remaining cheese and onion over the tops of the enchiladas. Pour the poblano cream sauce over the enchiladas, ensuring they are completely covered. Bake in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until heated through. Serve with a side of cooked rice and shredded lettuce. |
