This has to be the most unique & delicious dinner I have tried! The flavors are outstanding! Spicy & sweet is my favorite combination. I was in heaven with each & every bite. The recipe is a little time consuming to prepare everything, but it is extremely worth it. This is going to be my dinner I request for special occasions.
Thai Chicken Enchiladas
Recipe very slightly adapted from How Sweet It Is by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked & shredded
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup finely shredded cabbage
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 1/3 cup chopped/crushed peanuts + more for garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro + more for garnish
- 1 can light coconut milk
- 1/3 cup + 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat & add canola oil. Throw in onions, carrots, cabbage, garlic & 1/4 tsp salt, stirring to mix. Let cook until vegetables are soft, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in chicken, green onions, peanuts, cilantro, remaining salt & pepper, tossing to coat, & let cook for 1-2 minutes. Add in 1/3 of the can of coconut milk & 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce mixing thoroughly to combine. Turn off heat.
- Spray a 9x13" baking dish with nonstick spray. Whisk together remaining coconut milk & 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce. Pour enough of mixture to coat the bottom of your baking dish. Slightly warm tortillas, if desired, to make them more pliable. Place a few spoonfuls of chicken mixture in each tortilla, rolling up tightly & placing in the dish. Cover with remaining coconut milk & chili sauce mix.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbling. Remove from oven; with a spoon, gather sauce from the bottom of the pan & spread sauce over the tops of the cooked enchiladas. Top with additional peanuts & cilantro. The sauce thickens slightly as it cools, so you may want to wait 5-10 minutes before dishing up your plate. *You may re-sauce the enchiladas half-way through baking rather than at the end if you so desire.
