What You’ll Love About Easy White Chicken Enchiladas:

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to post a simple chicken enchilada recipe. You know I love me some Mexican inspired recipes. Easy White Chicken Enchiladas has been on my rotation of easy dinner recipes for a long time.

Before I got married my best friend threw me a wedding shower and had everyone bring their favorite recipe to share with me. I had so many wonderful choices to try out on my new-man-to-be and these easy white chicken enchiladas was one I actually made on our honeymoon! It was a total hit and I’ve been making it ever since.

This recipe is very similar in flavor to my Creamy Green Chili Enchilada Skillet. It’s super sauce and creamy, simple to make, and so filling and delicious.

Ingredients:

• Cream cheese
• Taco seasoning (homemade or a store packet)
• Milk or water
• Flour, corn, or low carb tortillas
• Shredded cooked chicken (perfect recipe for a rotisserie chicken)
• Cream of chicken soup
• Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
• Sour cream
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Green onion

Cheese– As you can see the ingredients are super simple you may even have them on hand right now! You can obviously use your favorite cheeses like Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, and Pepper Jack would give it a nice spice, or use a Mexican blend from the grocery store.

Condensed Soup– This recipe is super easy and convenient and canned cream of chicken soup is just that. However on days when I’m feeling extra motivated to spend a little extra time cooking, I do like to make cream of chicken soup from scratch. It truly is delicious. You can find one of my favorite recipes here. But if I’m being honest, and I bet some of you feel the same way, convivence on occasion is just nice. And these enchiladas with all the convenient store bought ingredients is still fantastically delicious!

Tortillas– I’ve made this enchilada recipe with flour, corn, and low-carb tortillas. They all come out perfect in their own way. Flour tortillas will have a softer texture, while the corn has a little bite to it. Either way, you can’t go wrong.

Additional toppings:

This is my favorite part about really anything Mexican is the fresh toppings. Here are just a few ideas that add something a little extra special.

• Fresh avocado
• Chopped tomatoes
• Cilantro
• Hot sauce

Step By Step How To Make Easy White Chicken Enchiladas:

Step 1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a 2 quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2. In a medium size bowl combine cream cheese, taco seasoning, and milk or water. Stir until creamy. Add chicken and stir to combine. The mixture will be thick

Step 3. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture down the middle of tortilla leaving half inch at both ends of the tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam side down in prepared baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and chicken. You should end up with about 9-10 enchiladas.

Step 4. In the same bowl you used for the chicken combine cream of chicken soup, tomatoes and green chilies, sour cream and milk. Pour mixture over the top of the rolled tortillas making sure to get around the edges and in between each tortilla roll. Sprinkle the top with additional taco seasoning and add a layer of cheese.

Step 5. Cover baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 15-minutes in the oven. Remove the foil and bake another 15-20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Top with fresh green onion slices and serve!

What To Serve With Chicken Enchiladas:

Some of my favorite things to serve with enchiladas or Tacos is Mexican rice, Cilantro lime rice, Zesty roasted corn salad, and my Homemade salsa.

Make Ahead:

Enchiladas can be prepped a few days in advance. Assemble the meat mixture and tortillas and cover tightly with foil and place in the refrigerator. Make the sauce in a separate container with a tight fitted lid and also store in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, pour the sauce over the rolled tortillas, followed by taco seasoning, and cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 25-minutes in preheated oven. Remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
