Chicken Enchiladas
Janelle from Comfy in the Kitchen is back wtih us today with a wonderful recipe. She writes:
I absolutely LOVE this recipe…now that I think about it, it was the recipe I made when I had my first “dinner party” 9 years ago. Let me tell you…the leftovers are every bit as tasty. I paired these enchiladas up with refried beans, homemade salsa and chips, and corn cake. Muy delicioso!!!!! Enjoy! ~Janelle
Making the sauce: cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chopped green chiles, cumin, green onions
Boil chicken, let cool and cut into bit sized pieces
Place tortillas on dish and heat in microwave for 1 min to soften (some people like to dip these in hot oil one at a time, but this is easier and saves some calories)
Place open side down in a 9×13
Pour sauce over top
Sprinkle with remaining cheese
Serve! This seriously is so good!

I will definitely be making this dish! We love enchiladas and always like to try new versions.
This looks delicious! I have been trying to figure out a great recipe for chicken, thank you for sharing this!
I really have a love/hate relationship with these Comfy in the Kitchen posts. Such wonderful recipes, but I’m trying so hard to eat lowfat! Yikes! But I’ll probably try these. 🙂
Lol!!! Kate – everything in moderation. 🙂 One of these won’t do you in – but 3 will. So go for 1 1/2 😉 And a walk after dinner – and all is well. I know it’s hard though to stop when something is good.

If you want a more health route, the recipe works just as good by reduce some serving sizes. This is what I tried and it came out yummylicious!!
2 Chicken Breasts
1/2 can of cream of chicken soup
1/2 small can chopped green chiles
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 tsp cumin
4 flour tortillas
1/2 cup of cheddar cheese
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese
Um, drool.
Wow, that looks amazing!
This is one of my favorites to make when we have company – sooo tasty and it’s a great comfort food!
Ohh my!! This is right up my alley! Will definitely add these to next weeks meal plan! Yum!
Looks delicious! If only tortillas were not so expensive here in S. Africa.
I would consider these burritos, since enchiladas use corn tortillas.
Debbie, tortillas are easy to make. I doubt you can find Masa Harina to make corn tortillas, but a great recipe for flour tortillas is:

I’m making them tonight to have with Beef Fajitas.
I love mexican and will make this for sure. I have the fixins for Chicken Soft Tacos in the crockpot right now! 🙂 Thx Janelle!!
They lool good, but any recipe that uses “Cream of Anything” soup is not Mexican! My hubby is from Mexico and real enchiladas are delicious and do not include soup. Not trying to be rude as I adore you and your blog and love the recipe ideas. It’s just one of my quirky pet peeves:)
OH wow! That sounds amazing!!! I am going to make that for a little celebration we are having in February for Valentine’s Day! Yummmmm! Pinning this one!
Hi Ladies, Yes- Julie, this is a very Americanized dish, but very delicious! My heart’s desire is to show how easy it can be to make quick, simple, and tasty meals for your family…(I completely know what you are talking about and am giving you a high five because there are so many Italian dishes that have also been “Americanized”-esp pizza! But, they are still tasty-just not authentic) Jen- you certainly may make these with corn tortillas…I do now since I have a gluten allergy! You are correct when you say the origination of “enchiladas” were corn tortillas – however, many stores do not sell corn tortillas in my area (esp Marcs) I am taking an educated guess at this, but most brands suggest corn tortillas to be refrigerated and the shelf life is shorter than flour tortillas. Thanks for your recipe! I will give it a whirl! Blessing and peace to all of you- enjoy your weekend. Love, Janelle
These look great! You could even sneak in some chopped spinach and the family might not even know they were getting their veggies for the day. In South Africa, if you can’t get – or don’t want to make – flour tortillas, you cold try serving it all over rice. Seems like that would be delicious too. Thanks for the recipe.
