I cut down the cheese a bit and swapped out the sour cream for Greek Yogurt (it tastes the same!) and these low calorie green chicken enchiladas tasted just as good as the high calorie version.
Special Tip: I like make my own Taco Seasoning and Salsa Verde (and I've supplied you with recipes) but you can also use store-bought to save time. You'll also find a shredded chicken recipe below… just click the ingredients for the recipes!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and spray a 9×13 casserole dish with olive oil and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and spray with olive oil.
  • Add onion, and cook for 3-5 minutes until translucent.
  • Stir in garlic, and taco seasoning, cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then remove the skillet from the burner and stir in green chiles.
  • Add the onions and green chilis to a large bowl. Add the chicken, 1/3 cup salsa verde, cilantro, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese.
  • To assemble the enchiladas: Lay one tortilla on a flat surface and spoon 3/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down onto prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Once all the enchiladas are assembled, top with remaining salsa verde and remaining 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
  • Serve hot, topped with dollops of Greek Yogurt.
