How To Make chicken enchiladas with sauce

  • 1
    Cook the chicken breasts all the way through, seasoning them as you like. Chop or shred them.
  • 2
    In a large bowl, mix together sour cream, canned ingredients, spices, cheese, and your chopped/shredded chicken.
  • 3
    Start filling your tortillas, using about a spoonful of mixture into each tortilla. Roll tortilla and place in baking dish seam side down. Repeat until baking dish is full. NOTE: YOU WILL HAVE MIXTURE REMAINING. (You may use whatever size baking dish you have. I personally have a 9x13, and still have enough left over to fill a 9x9.)
  • 4
    Pour chicken broth into remaining mixture and mix well to create a "soup". Pour over enchiladas, covering well. Cover enchiladas using remaining cheese.
  • 5
    Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly. Enjoy! (I personally like to remove the foil, and return the dish to the oven for another 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to become brown.)
