Description

A simple recipe for delicious white chicken enchiladas that you will enjoy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and shred.
  3. Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Stir in green chilies, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in shredded chicken.
  5. Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  6. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas and place seam-side down in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining chicken mixture over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier enchilada, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.
