Thai Chicken Enchiladas
My daughter, Kelsey, made these delicious Thai Chicken Enchiladas for her dinner group at college and everyone raved about how good they were. I talked her into making them for me recently and I couldn’t get enough. They are everything I love about Thai food: fresh, sweet, spicy, and flavorful! The chicken in the enchiladas is so good when it is cooked to be moist and tender, not dried out.
How To Keep Chicken Moist
There are two methods I use for perfectly moist chicken when making these enchiladas, or another recipe that calls for diced or shredded chicken. The first is the crock pot method. Place up to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crock pot and cover with ½ cup chicken broth. For more than 4 chicken breasts, add ⅛ cup more chicken broth per breast. Cook on high for 3 to 3/12 hours. Remove from crock pot and shred with two forks. When I don’t have time for the crock pot method, I use the stovetop method. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a saucepan large enough to hold them and the liquid with room to spare. Cover the chicken with water or chicken broth (which adds more flavor). Heat on medium-high until the liquid begins to boil. Reduce heat and cover pan. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is 170 degrees F and no longer pink. Drain the liquid and save for broth, and then shred the chicken using two forks. The chicken can be prepared up to three days earlier, which makes these enchiladas even easier to throw together on a busy night. Many thanks to Kelsey for sharing this recipe with me! She adapted the recipe from howsweeteats.com.
