Yum, one of the message boards I post on just reminded me of this recipe. I love these things. I guess that means I’ll have to make them soon 
Chicken Enchiladas with Tomatillo Cream Sauce
Makes 24 enchiladas
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 (8 oz) container sour cream
1 (8 oz) pkg. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
24 (6-inch) corn tortillas
Tomatillo Cream Sauce (recipe follows)
1 (8 oz) pkg. Colby and Monterey Jack cheese blend, shredded (I actually used 2 pkgs. BAD BAD HEATHER.)
Sliced green onions (optional, which means I didn’t use them)
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease two 13×9x2-inch baking dishes.
In a large bowl, combine chicken and next 8 ingredients. Spoon 2 Tbsp. of chicken mixture down center of each tortilla. Fold sides over, enclosing filling. Place filled tortillas, in a single layer, seam side down, in prepared baking dishes.
Spoon Tomatillo Cream Sauce evenly over enchiladas.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
Tomatillo Cream Sauce
Makes 5 cups
1 (28 oz) can tomatillos, drained (I couldn’t find canned tomatillos, so I bought 8 fresh ones and peeled them instead. I’m sure it tastes better fresh anyway!)
1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth
1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream
In a large skillet, combine tomatillos, broth, chilies, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pour mixture into container of an electric blender or food processor. Pulse mixture several times until smooth. Return mixture to skillet; stir in cream, and cook 2 minutes on low.
I have found a new shop/blog that I am in love with! She has tons of cute items, I think I would go broke if I let myself shop there all the time. This is my newest find. I have a babysitter pad ont he fridge, but paper is always falling off of it, or my child decides to use it as coloring paper. This would solve all my problems, plus it is super cute!
*UPDATE*
My wonderful and loving husband saw this blog and decided to surprise me with it! I got it the other day and I love it, looks perfect on my fridge. He also got this shirt for the little guy:
