Steps:
- 1. In a large skillet, combine chicken, chicken broth, and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 12 to 14 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Drain well. When cool enough to handle, use 2 forks to shred chicken into bite-size pieces. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken.) Set aside.
- 2. If using fresh spinach, place spinach in a steamer basket over boiling water. Reduce heat. Cover and stem for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. (Or in a covered medium saucepan, cook fresh spinach in a small amount of boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes.) Drain well. *If using frozen or canned squeeze out water.
- 3. In a large bowl, combine chicken, spinach, and the 2 tablespoons green onion; set aside. For sauce, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, yogurt, flour, cumin, and salt. Stir in milk and chile peppers. Divide sauce in half. Spoon one portion into a storage container; cover.
- 4. For filling, combine remaining portion of the sauce and the chicken-spinach mixture. Divide the filling among the tortillas. Roll up tortillas. Place, seam sides down, in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish.
- 5. Cover baking dish with foil. Chill baking dish and sauce in storage container for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.

CREAMY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
This is a personal tweak on the Campbell's recipe for Chicken Enchiladas. This does make (2) 13X9 pans of good homemade enchiladas, one to eat and one to save for later. For the most part you can give or take on the measurements of the ingredients like more cheese less picante sauce, its all up to you and your family's taste. And I chose to use enchilada sauce on one pan and the remaining filling on the other. In the future I would only top them with enchilada sauce as my family liked that pan better. This is a really large recipe, so feel free to tone it down, I always end up making way too much of something because we always like leftovers, they sure don't hurt a budget. But this is how I made them.

"This casserole has so much zesty Mexican flavor that my husband doesn't even realize it's a low-fat dish," says Shirley Meyer of Alden, Minnesota. "With its creamy sauce made from soup and cheeses, it tastes like a calorie-laden meal when it's not."

Very quick and yummy version of enchiladas. Serve with a side of rice. Note: I think I originally found this on Kraft.com and it also called for Cilantro. I have left this ingredient out as hubby & I Really did Not like it in this particular dish.
