Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch strips; place in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Add desired marinade; toss until chicken coated in marinade. Cover bowl; marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and chopped onion; cook until chicken is evenly browned. Stir in stewed tomatoes, soup, broth, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, and diced chile peppers; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover skillet, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove chicken from skillet; shred when cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, continue simmering tomato mixture in skillet until reduced to about 2 1/4 cups.
- Combine shredded chicken and about 1/4 cup reduced tomato mixture (just enough to make a paste-like mixture) in a medium bowl; stir in 1/2 bunch chopped green onions. Pour remaining 2 cups reduced tomato mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Heat cream in a separate skillet over low heat, being careful not to boil. Dip tortillas into warm cream to soften and coat; transfer to a work surface. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto each tortilla; top each with about 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Roll up tortillas to enclose filling. Place rolled tortillas in the baking dish, seam-sides down, and drizzle with enchilada sauce. Cover with remaining 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese; sprinkle remaining 1/2 bunch chopped green onions over cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.
