AWESOME AND EASY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS (REDUCED FAT)



Awesome and Easy Chicken Enchiladas (Reduced Fat) image

This is a fantastic little recipe for sour cream and chicken enchiladas. I've seen some similar recipes posted at 'Zaar but not this exact one. This turns out perfect every single time. It's also easy to double the recipe so you can serve a larger group. I'm always asked for this recipe and it's so easy! It's very mild. If you like spicy/hot you could add some chopped jalapenos (see directions). Can make ahead and freeze - just take it out the night before to thaw in your refrigerator, then follow cooking instructions. *Prep and cooking times do not include cooking the chicken breasts.*

Time 40m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 (12 inch) flour tortillas (or 12 small)
3 cooked chicken breast halves, shredded (you could also try this using a cooked rotissiere chicken, I'm guessing you'll need approx. 3-4 cups)
1 cup onion, chopped
2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
1 cup fat free sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Divide the shredded chicken, onions and 1 cup of the cheese equally into each tortilla. (This doesn't have to be exact or perfect here!).
  • Roll them each tightly and place seam-side down into a greased (cooking spray) 9x13 baking dish.
  • Prepare the sauce by combining soup, sour cream and green chilis (for a hotter recipe also add 1/4 cup finely chopped jalapenos).
  • The sauce should be of a thick gravy-like consistency. You may need to add a little water to thin it out (I usually add about 1/2 a can of water to reconstitute the soup).
  • Pour sauce over the rolled tortillas.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and top with remaining cheese.
  • Return to oven until the cheese melts.
  • Ole!
