SOUR CREAM CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
The popular "Magnolia Table" cookbooks by Joanna Gaines are full of Texas classics like king ranch, chicken spaghetti and this creamy version of chicken enchiladas. The combination of tart salsa verde (which has tomatillos and green chiles) with cream and melted cheese makes it special; don't use red enchilada sauce here. The cream of chicken soup mixed with the chicken meat makes a super-rich filling, but you can absolutely use an additional 8 ounces of sour cream instead if you prefer.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the enchilada sauce, condensed soup and sour cream. Spread 1/2 cup in the baking dish; set aside the remaining 3 1/2 cups creamy enchilada sauce.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and chiles (including any liquid from the can); set aside.
- Sprinkle about 2 heaping tablespoons mozzarella on a tortilla, then add a heaping 1/3 cup of the shredded chicken and chiles. Tightly roll up the tortilla and place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Continue filling and rolling the remaining tortillas with 2 tablespoons mozzarella and a heaping 1/3 cup chicken mixture, placing the tortillas in the baking dish as they are filled, pushing the rolled tortillas as needed to fit in a single layer.
- Pour the reserved creamy enchilada sauce over the filled tortillas. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. If you'd like it to be a bit browner in spots, you can pop it under the broiler for another minute or two.
- Sprinkle enchiladas with tomato and cilantro and pass with lime wedges for squeezing on top. Serve enchiladas with rice and beans, if desired. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat in a 300-degree oven.

Tips:
- Prep the Chicken Right: For tender, flavorful chicken, marinate it for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in a mixture of spices, lime juice, and olive oil. If using pre-cooked chicken, shred it finely to ensure even distribution in the enchiladas.
- Perfect the Enchilada Sauce: The secret to a great enchilada sauce lies in the balance of flavors. Simmer the sauce for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. Adjust the consistency by adding more broth or tomato sauce as needed.
- Choose the Right Tortillas: Fresh corn tortillas are ideal for enchiladas as they provide a soft and pliable base. If using flour tortillas, heat them briefly in a skillet to make them more pliable and prevent cracking.
- Stuff and Roll with Care: When filling the tortillas, avoid overstuffing to prevent tearing. Roll them tightly but gently to ensure the filling stays in place during baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Before baking, cover the enchiladas with additional sauce and cheese to create a golden brown, bubbly top. Bake at the right temperature and for the specified time to prevent overcooking or undercooking.
- Use Fresh Toppings: Top the enchiladas with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and salsa just before serving to add a burst of flavor and color.
Conclusion:
Chicken enchiladas with sour cream are a versatile and delicious dish that can be customized to suit your preferences. With the right ingredients, techniques, and a bit of culinary creativity, you can create a mouthwatering meal that will impress your family and friends.
