Chicken Enchiladas

I found a version of this years ago- I don't know where but then changed it to what I like- I can never follow a recipe....


Ingredients:

1-2 chicken breasts
garlic to season the chicken
6-8 flour tortillas; depending on how much filling you use
1 c. shredded cheese- I used cheddar and pepper jack
1 c. cottage cheese
1 (8oz) cream cheese; softened
1 ( 4oz) can green chile peppers
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce


Directions:

Cook the chicken with garlic until no longer pink- then cube the chicken into small pieces. In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and the cottage cheese. Add 1/2 c. of the shredded cheese, the green chile peppers, and the chicken. Mix with fork until ingredients are blended.

Spray a rectangle casserole dish with cooking spray.

Place some of the mixture on a tortilla and loosely roll. Place seam side down in casserole dish. Repeat until all the tortillas are filled. Spread the enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 c. of cheese.

Bake for 45 minutes; covered; in oven at 350.
Serves 6
