GREEN ENCHILADA CHICKEN
4 boneless chicken breasts, pounded flat
2 teaspoons Seasoning for Tacos
4 ounces Monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
7 ounce can Green Mexican Salsa
4 ounce can chopped green chiles
A little cilantro, chopped, optional
2 green onions, chopped, optional
1/4 teaspoons xanthan gum, optional
Sprinkle each side of the chicken breasts with 1/4 teaspoon of the seasoning. Heat the oil in a large skillet; sauté the chicken until just done or grill on an outdoor or indoor grill. Don't overcook. Place in a greased 9 x 13" baking pan. Mix the sour cream, green sauce, chiles and cilantro in a small bowl; pour over the chicken. Cook in the microwave on MEDIUM until hot and bubbly. Top each piece with 1/4 of the cheese and return to the microwave until the cheese is melted. Or, bake in a 350º oven for 25 minutes, then top with the cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Top with chopped green onions, if desired.
Makes 4 servings

Looks wonderful, Miss M! I will try it soon!
Having spent most of my life in Arizona and Southern California, I really miss my wonderful Mexican food! This should help!

This sounds good, may I ask what the Xanthan gum is used for? Not too sure  |

Tril...I missed your earlier post...Indian Wells is way up in the state, far away from Scottsdale/Tempe...but I bet it was beautiful country!!
Nikki-Check almost any bottle of salad dressing and you will see it...it is a thickening/smoothing agent.
Be sure and sprinkle a TINY bit, stir, wait, then add, as once it decides to thicken, it can congeal! I put it in a standard glass salt shaker and keep it at the stove to sprinkle on hamburger for my taco salad. Instead of the packet taco seasonings, I make up my own and put it in the other shaker that came with the set.
Xantham gum is not sold in small quantities. I found some and had to buy a bag of it...that should last me until 2050 and I am almost 66, so thankfully I don't think it goes bad!
