Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups Reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Salsa verde
- 8 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of the reduced-fat cheese, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chicken broth, and salsa verde. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and warmed through. Remove from heat.
Spread 1/4 cup of the sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Lay out each tortilla and fill with an even portion of the chicken mixture. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of reduced-fat cheese evenly over the top of the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
