Ingredients-
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1/2 – 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 small red, yellow, or orange bell peppers, cored and diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups reduced-fat shredded Monterey jack or Mexican blend cheese, divided
1 1/2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 (4-ounce) cans diced green chiles, drained
8 (7-inch) whole wheat flour tortillas
1 (15-ounce) can green enchilada sauce
For serving: diced fresh tomato, fresh cilantro, diced avocado, diced red onion, as desired


Directions-
1. Pre-prep: cook and shred chicken.
2.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9×13-inch casserole dish with baking spray and set aside.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or sauté pan on medium heat. Once oil the is warm, add the peppers and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the onions become translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Add shredded chicken to the skillet along with 1/2 teaspoon salt, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper. Stir to coat evenly, then remove the skillet from the heat and let cool.
5. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the cheese, Greek yogurt, and green chilies. Once the chicken and veggie mixture has cooled to nearly room temperature, add it to the bowl with the yogurt mixture and stir to coat evenly.
6. Fill each tortilla with a slightly heaping 1/2 cup of the chicken-yogurt mixture. Roll closed and place in the prepared dish, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the top, cover the pan, then bake for 30 minutes.
7. Remove the pan from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese. Bake uncovered for 5 additional minutes, until the cheese is melted.
8. Sprinkle with desired toppings and enjoy!
