CHICKEN ENCHILADA VERDE 
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can of chicken broth (seasoned)
2 cups water
1 (15 oz.) can of El Paso green chile sauce
1 (8 oz.) can of El Paso green chile sauce
1 small can of diced green chiles (drained)
1 small can of salsa verde (green)
2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 cup shredded American cheese
1 cup diced yellow onions
salt and white pepper, to taste
1 pkg. flour or wheat tortillas
dairy sour cream
black olives

You'll need a glass baking dish large enough to hold 6 enchiladas. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Trim off any excess fat or skin off of chicken breasts. Wash thoroughly and place chicken in a deep pan with chicken broth and water. Add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then down to a simmer. Cover with lid and let cook till chicken is easy to shred with fork.

Discard broth. Shred chicken with fork and set aside. Combine all cheeses and onion in a small bowl.

Open small can of green chile sauce and pour on bottom of glass baking dish. Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken, diced green chiles, cheeses, onion, and top with 1 tablespoon of green chile sauce. Reserve half the cheese and onion combination.

Roll tortillas and place in baking dish seam side down. Take remaining green chile sauce and thoroughly pour over all. Top with remaining cheeses, onion, the salsa Veda and black olives.

Bake in 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through and cheese has melted. Let stand 5 minutes. Top with dairy sour cream or your favorite hot sauce.

This recipe is AMAZING. I've brought these to numerous parties and have been praised for my cooking ability.

Don't be afraid to play with the recipe. The flavors work really well. I've had to remove onions as some friends didn't like onions, so I added more diced chilies.

I've converted this recipe into a soup recently and am posting the recipe.

Thank you for such a WONDERFUL, versatile recipe.
