Description

Succulent chicken enveloped in rich, velvety sauce creates a comforting dish that appeals to many. Perfect for gatherings or weeknight meals, these enchiladas promise to please both adults and children alike.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 tortillas (flour or corn)
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar)
  • 1 can green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Optional: fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

  1. Make the filling: In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, green chilies, and spices until fully combined.
  2. Assemble the enchiladas: On a tortilla, spoon some of the filling. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In a separate bowl, combine chicken broth and any remaining cream cheese until smooth. Pour this over the assembled enchiladas.
  4. Top with cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
  5. Bake: Place in a preheated oven and bake until golden and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.

Notes

Serve warm, topped with sour cream and cilantro. Pair with black beans or a salad for a balanced meal.
