Chicken and Spinach Enchiladas

I was rushing out of the house this morning and I decided to grab a stack of recipes I had laying on the desk. In that stack was this.... and I think it will make it to my "can't wait to try" list for this weekend.

12 chicken breast halves, skinned
1 teaspoon salt
2 (10 oz) packages frozen chopped spinach
1 cup diced onion
1 Tablespoon butter, melted
1 (10 3/4 oz) can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
3/4 cup milk
3 (4 oz) cans diced green chilies, drained
3 (8 oz) cartons sour cream
3 cups (12 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
16 flour tortillas

Place chicken in a Dutch oven; add salt and water to cover. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 40 minutes or until tender. Remove chicken and let it cool slightly, Bone chicken; dice and set aside.

Cook spinach according to directions; drain well, and reserve 1 cup spinach broth. Set aside.

Saute onion in butter in Dutch oven until tender. Stir in spinach and chicken, set aside.

Combine soup, reserved spinach broth, milk, green chilies, sour cream and half of the cheese in a bowl; mix well. Stir half of the sauce mixture into chicken mixture. Reserve remaining sauce.

Spoon chicken mixture evenly down center of each tortilla; roll up tortillas and place seam side down into 2 lightly greased 13x9x2 inch baking dishes. Spoon remaining sauce over tortillas. Bake uncovered at 350 for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, bake an additional 5 minutes.
