Thai Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
Yield: 8 enchiladas
Prep time: 20 min | Cook time: 20 min
Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 16-oz package Trader Joe's Just Chicken
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 1/3 cup crushed peanuts + more for garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro + more for garnish
- 2 1/2 cups Trader Joe's Light Coconut Milk
- 1/3 cup + 1/2 cup Trader Joe's Sweet Chili Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, cabbage, carrots, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in the chicken, green onions, peanuts, cilantro, remaining salt and pepper, tossing to coat, and let cook for 1-2 minutes. Add in 3/4 cup coconut milk and 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce, mixing thoroughly to combine; remove from heat.
- Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Whisk together remaining coconut milk and sweet chili sauce and pour about 1/2 cup on the bottom of the dish.
- Assemble the enchiladas: Warm the tortillas for a minute in the microwave, or one by one in a skillet. Add 1/8 of the chicken mixture to each tortilla, and roll it up. Place the enchilada seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat for the remaining tortillas. Top the enchiladas with the remaining coconut milk and chili sauce mix.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and spoon sauce from the bottom of the dish over the top of the enchiladas. Top with additional peanuts and cilantro.
