Chicken-Roll-Ups

Ingredients
  

  • 10 boneless and skinless chicken tenders
  • 1 tbsp. butter or olive oil
  • 16-ounces Philadelphia cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 4-ounce can green chilies, drained, chopped
  • 20 small flour tortilla shells
  • 1-pint heavy cream
  • 2 to 4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions
 

To prepare the chicken filling:

  • Fill a large stock pot with water and bring to a boil.
  • Add chicken and boil for about 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through; chicken should turn white when finished cooking.
  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon butter, or olive oil.
  • Once heated, add chopped onion to skillet and cook until translucent.
  • Once the onions are translucent, add in the green chilies; cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the onions and chilies are cooking together, chop the chicken into bite-size pieces.
  • After the onions and chilies have cooked for about 6 minutes, add in the cream cheese.
  • Stir the cream cheese into the onions and chilies; continue to stir until the cream cheese has melted.
  • Once the cream cheese has completely melted, add in the chopped chicken.
  • Stir everything together until completely combined.
  • Cook, while stirring every so often, for 5 minutes; remove from heat; set aside.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.  

To prepare the roll-ups:

  • Fill a tortilla with 1 spoonful of cream cheese chicken mixture; place the scoop of mixture towards the back of the tortilla.
  • Roll the tortilla over the mixture; continue rolling, tucking the ends in as you go.
  • Place into a casserole dish, seam side down.
  • Once all of the rolls are in the pan, cover with cheese.
  • Pour heavy cream over the cheese in a “Z” pattern and an “X” pattern; ensuring the heavy cream is all over the cheese. 
  • Place in oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Check on roll-ups after 20 to 25 minutes to ensure they don’t burn.
