1 Prepare the Ingredients
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare 2 baking sheets with foil. Rinse and pat dry all produce and herbs. Stem and roughly chop the cilantro. Remove the husk from the ear of corn. Working on a cutting board, carefully cut the kernels away from the cob and set aside. Chop the jalapeño into a small dice. If you're spice-sensitive, wear rubber gloves to remove seeds from the pepper.
-
2 Cook the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet. Drizzle the chicken with one 1 tsp. of olive oil and season with the enchilada seasoning blend. Bake the chicken in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees (if using a meat thermometer). When the chicken is cooked, cool and slice into thin ¼" strips.

3 Roll the Enchiladas
Wrap tortillas in slightly moist paper towels and warm in a microwave for about 20 seconds. Layer chicken, cheese (reserving a small amount to sprinkle on top), green chili sauce, jalapeño (to taste), and corn in the middle of the tortilla. Repeat until 6 tortillas are filled. Roll the tortillas and place on a baking sheet, lightly coated with cooking spray, seams facing down. Place each enchilada against the next to ensure the final product stays together and they cook evenly.

4 Bake the Enchiladas
Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas so all are sauced. Sprinkle with reserved cheese. Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until bubbling and the cheese has melted.

5 Plate the Dish
Place three enchiladas in the middle of a plate. Garnish with cilantro, remaining jalapeño (if you like it hot), and a dollop of cool sour cream. Repeat for other serving.
