Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack) Split into two portions
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 8 pieces flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup diced green onions For topping
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 cup chicken broth For the sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, sour cream, half of the shredded cheese, cream of chicken soup, diced green chilies, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Take a flour tortilla and spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the chicken broth with any remaining chicken sauce. Pour this over the tortillas, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the enchiladas, and add diced green onions for an extra burst of flavor.
Cooking
  1. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  3. Once out of the oven, let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!

Notes

For a lighter option, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, or shredded rotisserie chicken for quicker prep time. You can prep the filling a day in advance and assemble the enchiladas right before baking. Ensure tortillas are pliable and warm to prevent breaking.
