How To Make cheesy chicken enchiladas
-
Step 1Boil chicken until done...I season as if I was making chicken soup (freeze the broth for later use)
-
Step 2Shred the chicken using a fork or put in food processor until shredded coarsely.
-
Step 3Mix 1 can cheese soup and 1 can green enchilada sauce into shredded chicken.
-
Step 4At this point if you LOVE cheese, add a handful of shredded cheese to mixture, mix well.
-
Step 5Spray the largest casserole dish you have with Pam. I use an 11”x 15” dish, but you could split into 2 dishes if needed.
-
Step 6Place 2-3 tablespoons of chicken mix into tortilla and roll up tightly like a burrito. Lay them side by side in dish, squishing as close together as possible.
-
Step 7Once all are filled and rolled, pour red enchilada sauce over top, spread with spoon if necessary.
-
Step 8Sprinkle shredded cheese over top to cover completely...the more the better!
-
Step 9Place in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until cheese starts to brown.
-
Step 10Serve with sour cream. Freezes well.
