The secret is in the seasonings! I whipped these up on my own using stuff I had on hand. Shredding the chicken is the most time-consuming step, but it's worth it in the end. Give these babies a try! Serve with sour cream and a side of Spanish rice.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cut into chunks
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 ¼ cups sour cream
¼ teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
1 (1.25 ounce) package mild taco seasoning mix
1 bunch green onions, chopped, divided
1 cup water
1 teaspoon lime juice
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
5 (12 inch) flour tortillas
3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken pieces are no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Shred chicken by placing two forks back to back and pulling meat apart. Set the shredded chicken aside. Meanwhile, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chili powder in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, taco seasoning, half of the bunch of chopped green onion, and water. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the lime juice, onion powder, and garlic powder; simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir 1 cup of the soup mixture into the skillet with the chicken mixture. Spread the remaining soup mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the chicken filling before folding the tortillas, reserving half of the shredded cheese for topping the enchiladas. Fold tortillas over the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
  • Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Cover with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the reserved chopped green onions and the sliced olives on top of the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.

AWESOME ENCHILADAS!



Awesome Enchiladas! image

The best enchiladas I've ever had- really, the only ones I've ever liked! I crave these, and usually make them at least two times a month. You can easily use shredded chicken instead of ground beef, and feel free to use corn tortillas instead of flour...it's the sauce that make these enchiladas so AWESOME!

AWESOME EASY CHEESE AND CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Awesome Easy Cheese and Chicken Enchiladas image

Hi, just threw this together this morning with what I had on hand. Turned out so very good and cheesy! You can adjust everything to taste if you wish. This is very mild for a Mexican dish. I hope that you enjoy this as much as I did! Thanks so much!

Categories     Oven

Time 7h10m

Yield 6 enchiladas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups cheese (I used Monterey Jack or cheddar)
5 frozen chicken drumsticks (2 cups chicken)
2 (10 ounce) cans Rotel tomatoes & chilies (or 2 cans chopped tomatoes, 2 cans of green chiles)
1/4 cup chopped onion (i used green onions)
1/2 cup sour cream
6 corn tortillas
1 tablespoon shortening

Steps:

  • To make my chicken, I put 5 drumsticks (frozen) in the crock pot on low with the 2 cans of Rotel.
  • These cooked for 7 hours when the chicken was nice and tender. I took out the bones and put it in a bowl with 1 cup of the cheese, the onions, and a little of the tomato mixture from the crock pot.
  • Now, take the 6 corn tortillas, spread a thin layer of the shortening on them, place them on a microwave safe plate and cook for about 1 minute (until they are warm and soft).
  • Take 1 tortilla and put 2-3 spoonfuls of the chicken/cheese mixture in it, then roll the tortilla like a cigar, and place it seam side down in your pan (I used a 1 1/2 quart pan--you can use a larger one if you are doubling the recipe) continue previous step with the rest of your tortillas.
  • Mix 1/4 cup of crock pot tomato mixture with your sour cream.
  • Pour this mixture over your enchiladas.
  • top with the rest of your cheese.
  • cover with foil and cook for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

AWESOME AND EASY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS (REDUCED FAT)



Awesome and Easy Chicken Enchiladas (Reduced Fat) image

This is a fantastic little recipe for sour cream and chicken enchiladas. I've seen some similar recipes posted at 'Zaar but not this exact one. This turns out perfect every single time. It's also easy to double the recipe so you can serve a larger group. I'm always asked for this recipe and it's so easy! It's very mild. If you like spicy/hot you could add some chopped jalapenos (see directions). Can make ahead and freeze - just take it out the night before to thaw in your refrigerator, then follow cooking instructions. *Prep and cooking times do not include cooking the chicken breasts.*

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 (12 inch) flour tortillas (or 12 small)
3 cooked chicken breast halves, shredded (you could also try this using a cooked rotissiere chicken, I'm guessing you'll need approx. 3-4 cups)
1 cup onion, chopped
2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
1 cup fat free sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Divide the shredded chicken, onions and 1 cup of the cheese equally into each tortilla. (This doesn't have to be exact or perfect here!).
  • Roll them each tightly and place seam-side down into a greased (cooking spray) 9x13 baking dish.
  • Prepare the sauce by combining soup, sour cream and green chilis (for a hotter recipe also add 1/4 cup finely chopped jalapenos).
  • The sauce should be of a thick gravy-like consistency. You may need to add a little water to thin it out (I usually add about 1/2 a can of water to reconstitute the soup).
  • Pour sauce over the rolled tortillas.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and top with remaining cheese.
  • Return to oven until the cheese melts.
  • Ole!
