Ingredients
Enchilada Sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch cinnamon
2 tablespoons

2 cups vegetable broth

How to make Chicken & Green Chili Enchiladas
Step 1: To begin, prepare your chicken. Braised 3 chicken breasts in broth with garlic, onion, black pepper, cayenne, poultry seasoning, and cumin. Cook the breasts for about 45 to 50 minutes. Once cooked, let the chicken cool before shredding. Set aside about half a cup of cooking liquid to add to the chicken moisture.
Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a heavy pot. Once hot, add the flour and all the dry seasoning. Whisk for 2 minutes before adding the tomato paste and vegetable broth. Let it simmer for approximately 5 minutes while whisking often. Once the mixture starts to thicken turn off the heat, then, stir in the apple cider vinegar and more salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: To make the Enchiladas, I use 3 cups of cheese, 1 small can of green chilis, and flour or corn tortillas.
Step 4: Pour just enough sauce to cover the bottom of the pan. Coat each tortilla in the sauce, add in the chicken, and roll-up. Then, place the tortillas in the pan, and pour the rest of the sauce over to cover the enchiladas. Sprinkle the cheese, green chilis, and dried cilantro.
Step 5: Place inside the oven and bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes until heated through.
