Tips:

Prep your chicken ahead of time. You can cook the chicken up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you're making the enchiladas.
Use a rotisserie chicken for even easier prep. If you're short on time, you can use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Just be sure to remove the skin and bones before shredding the chicken.
Make your own enchilada sauce or use a store-bought variety. If you have the time, making your own enchilada sauce is a great way to add flavor to your dish. However, if you're short on time, you can also use a store-bought enchilada sauce.
Use a variety of cheeses in your enchiladas. This will add flavor and texture to your dish. Some good options include cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and queso Oaxaca.
Don't overcrowd the pan when baking your enchiladas. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. If you need to bake your enchiladas in batches, that's fine. Just be sure to keep the cooked enchiladas warm in the oven until you're ready to serve them.

Conclusion:

White chicken enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give white chicken enchiladas a try. You won't be disappointed.
