1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can chicken broth, undiluted
3/4 cup water
1 (8 ounce) carton sour cream
4 canned jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
12 corn tortillas
vegetable oil
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
2 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese, divided
1 1/4 cups chopped onions
1 large tomatoes, finely chopped
1/4 cup tomato juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Then dip each tortilla in the water, one at a time, for 1 to 2 seconds on each side or just until softened.
  • Place 1 tablespoon each of chicken, cheese, and onion on each tortilla; roll up tortillas, and place, seam side down, in reserved baking dish. Pour remaining sour cream sauce over top.

SOUR CREAM CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
2 (10-ounce) cans mild green enchilada sauce
1 (10-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (8-ounce) container sour cream (1 cup)
4 cups shredded meat from 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
1 (14-ounce) bag grated mozzarella cheese (about 3 1/2 cups)
10 (8-inch) soft flour tortillas
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges
Cooked rice (preferably Mexican rice) and seasoned beans (preferably charro beans), warmed, for serving (optional)

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.

White Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chili & Sour Cream Sauce Recipe image

Simple ingredients and easy-to-follow directions make this an easy weeknight meal. My family basically INHALED them. This is our favorite Enchilada recipe.

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (divided)
8 soft flour tortillas
3 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan using non-stick cooking spray.
  • Mix cooked chicken, chili powder (optional) and 1 cup of cheese together. Roll up in tortillas and place in pan.
  • In a medium sauce pan, melt butter, stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth. Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
  • Stir in sour cream, chilies, cilantro, onion powder, and garlic powder, and pepper. Make sure that you don't bring this to a boil- you don't want to have curdled sour cream!
  • Pour over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake 20-22 minutes and then place under high broil for 3 min to brown the cheese.

Tips:

  • Prep your chicken beforehand: For the best flavor and texture, marinate your chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help it stay moist and juicy.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your enchiladas will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or it will become rubbery.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what makes enchiladas so delicious. Be generous with it, and make sure to coat each tortilla completely.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Different cheeses offer different flavors and textures. Try using a combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheese for a classic enchilada flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Enchiladas are delicious on their own, but they're even better with your favorite toppings. Try serving them with guacamole, sour cream, salsa, or pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

Chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce are a classic Mexican dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
