Came up with this last night and mmmmmm mmmmmmm it was so good! I'm a "little of this, little of that" type cook, so all measurements should be adjusted to taste.
Enchillada-less Chicken Enchilladas
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 oz cream cheese
1 4.5 ounce can diced green chili peppers
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp cumin
Olive oil for cooking chicken
Cut each chicken breast in half length-wise. In large fry pan, put 1-2 tbsp of olive oil, and cook chicken over medium heat until cooked through.
In a small blender, mix cream cheese, green peppers, and cumin.
Using a rubber spatula, place cream cheese mixture on top of chicken pieces. Put a lid on the fry pan and cook on low heat for 5-10 minutes, or until cream cheese mixture is heated through.
Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on top of chicken/cream cheese mixture and put the lid back on the fry pan for 3-5 minutes or until cheese just starts to melt.
Remove chicken from pan and cool slightly (so it's still warm but you can pick it up with your fingers.)
Wrap each chicken piece in a large lettuce leaf, and enjoy!
