Introduction
A creative fusion recipe featuring savory, tender green chili chicken wrapped inside quick homemade cornbread crepes, baked with cheese, and topped with vibrant salsas and sour cream.
Step 1
Add two jars of green salsa to a saucepan. Rinse the jars with about 1 cup of chicken broth and add that to the pan as well.
Step 2
Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into the green sauce mixture, season with salt, and set the heat to medium-high.
Step 3
Once the liquid begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fall-apart tender.
Step 4
Remove the cooked chicken thighs to a bowl, letting as much sauce drain back into the pan as possible.
Step 5
Turn the heat to high and reduce the remaining sauce in the pan for about 5 to 6 minutes to thicken and concentrate the flavors. Reserve about 1.5 cups of this reduced sauce for topping later.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast for a juicier, more tender filling that shreds easily.
Keep the cooked crepes covered with a towel to trap steam; this keeps them pliable and prevents them from breaking when rolled.
Always give the crepe batter a quick stir before pouring each portion, as the cornmeal tends to settle at the bottom.
Only sauce the center of the enchiladas when baking to keep some crepe edges exposed for a better texture and appearance.
