Instructions
Heat the oven to 180°C /355 °F.
Place tomatillos sauce in a blender. Add cilantro, jalapeno/serrano, onion, garlic and cream. Add chicken stock and blend until smooth.
Heat a tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Pour the sauce, season with salt and pepper, stir and let it cook until it thickens (about 10 minutes). Turn off heat and set aside.
In a frying pan heat some oil over medium heat. Fry tortillas until softened, just about 4-5 seconds each side. Place onto a plate with paper towel. Set aside and let them cool slightly.
Lightly oil a 9x11" (22x28 cm) baking dish. Pour half of sauce onto and spread it all over the bottom.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of chicken in the middle of a tortilla, roll into a cylinder -like a burrito style. Place onto the baking dish, make sure the seam side is down. Repeat with all tortillas and filling.
Pour over the enchiladas the remaining sauce and top with cheese.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
Notes
If you using fresh tomatillo you need to boil them first until they're soft. Then drain and let them cool slightly before you blend them with the other ingredients.
