Description

Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas are a hearty, comforting meal featuring tender chicken, a rich creamy sauce, and melted cheese wrapped in warm tortillas.


Ingredients

  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)


Instructions

  1. Cook chicken in boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. Let cool slightly and shred with forks.
  2. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with garlic, sour cream, half of the cheese, and green chiles.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth; let simmer briefly.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread some sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  5. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat until all are filled.
  6. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle with leftover cheese.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

Consider using low-sodium chicken broth and homemade tortillas for better flavor. Feel free to add chopped onions or bell peppers for extra depth.
