Description
Chicken Enchiladas with Sour Cream White Sauce are a delightful dish that combines rich flavors and creamy textures, perfect for family gatherings or cozy dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, diced green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix until well combined.
- Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken filling onto the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix the remaining sour cream with a little water or chicken broth to thin it out if desired. Pour this mixture over the rolled enchiladas and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the tortillas are golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
- For freezing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil; they can be frozen for up to three months.
