Always on the quest for new tasty and healthy recipes, I tried coming up with super healthy chicken enchiladas last night and they were definitely a hit! Matt & I were both pleasantly surprised by how good and "normal" they tasted. Some of the recipes I found online had up to 75 grams of fat per serving! These probably have about 4 grams of fat per serving and fill you up like crazy. **2-3 chicken breasts (2 reg. size or 3 small)
**1/2 onion
**1 c. fat free cottage cheese (or you can do FF sour cream if you're scared of cottage cheese but I promise you won't even taste it so be brave and just try it! Adds better protein than sour cream.)
**2 c. fat free cheddar cheese (they have it at WalMart)
**package of whole wheat tortillas
**can of black beans
**can of rotel (mild, original or extra hot depending on your preference, I use original, spicy but not over the top)
**can of red enchilada sauce
**spices: parsley, oregano, salt & pepper, chili powder, red pepper, minced garlic
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cook chicken on the stove (I add some red pepper, salt & pepper & garlic while it's cooking)
3. In another pan, cut up the onion & saute (with PAM)
4. In a different pan, bring rotel & black beans to a boil, reduce heat and simmer a few minutes
5. Shred the chicken into little pieces with 2 forks, then return to the pan and combine chicken, cottage cheese, 1 c. cheddar cheese, black bean/rotel mix (spoon out so you don't add the bean sauce), 1/2 can of enchilada sauce, sauteed onions and a pinch of each of the spices. Mix all together.
6. Roll mixture into tortillas and lay in 9x13 baking dish. (I was able to fit 6 1/2 enchiladas in this dish)
7. Cover with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese
8. Bake 20 minutes
YUM!

I fixed the other 2 recipes you had on here, froze some of it, and must say I loved them both. Now I
