“That fellow Béchameil has all the luck! I was serving breast of chicken á la crème more than 20 years before he was born, but I have never had the chance of giving my name to even the most modest sauce.”
Duke of Escars, 17th century

 

“Do not be afraid of simplicity. If you have a cold chicken for supper, why cover it with a tasteless white sauce which makes it look like a pretentious chicken dish on the buffet table at some fance dress ball?”
X. Marcel Boulestin, chef.

Chicken Chilaquiles

 

Ingredients

4 chicken breast halves
1 without skin -- boned
1/2 tsp cumin
1 salt and pepper -- to taste
8 oz tortilla chips -- lightly
1 salted
28 oz green enchilada sauce
8 oz monterey jack cheese --
1 shredded
1/2 cup cilantro -- chopped
4 green onions -- chopped
8 tbsp light sour cream -- or real
1 sour cream
1/2 cup salsa fresca -- fresh or
1 storebought



 

Preparation

Sprinkle breasts with cumin, salt and pepper. Broil until just done.
I do this in a toaster oven for about 5 minutes per side. Slice or
shred chicken. Evenly cover four microwave safe dinner plates with
tortilla chips. Sprinkle with chicken. Pour enchilada sauce over the
chicken and then microwave each plate for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Top
with cheese and microwave each plate for 45-60 seconds or until
cheese melts in the center of plate. Meanwhile, chop and combine
cilantro and green onions. Spinkle a 1/4 cup mixture over each of the
heated plates. Put a dollop of sour cream in the center of each plate
and surround with salsa fresca.
