Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 can (10 ounces) enchilada sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Olive oil for frying
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

6. Pour the enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, making sure to cover them completely. Pour the heavy cream over the top of the sauce and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
