Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas

Not sure what to have for dinner?!?! I got you covered with these super easy to make salsa verde chicken enchiladas. Filled with all the good stuff including shredded chicken, cheddar cheese , greek yogurt, cilantro, garlic and the star of the show is the salsa verde. I used Trader Joe’s salsa verde and it did not disappoint, so flavorful and tangy!

I even snuck in some fiber without compromising the dish. Artichoke Hearts!! Yep that’s right… a little prebiotic to the mix so while you’re making your tummy happy you’re also feeding all the good bacteria in the gut too! Recipe below.

Save any leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for about 5 days.
