FAMILY FAVORITE CHICKEN SOUR CREAM ENCHILADAS (CASSEROLE)



Family Favorite Chicken Sour Cream Enchiladas (Casserole) image

I've had this enchilada recipe for ages, it was passed down to me from my mother and is always a popular dish around my house. My husbands favorite casserole! :) Hope you enjoy as much as we do. A few notes: Sometimes I leave off the 2 cups of shredded chicken, and it is still yummy as can be. I usually double the green chiles and use "healthy request" soup and reduced fat sour cream. Also, we prefer corn tortillas in this dish, but use whatever you like. ENJOY!

FAVORITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Favorite Chicken Enchiladas image

This is my mother's recipe and was one of our family favorites growing up. It is now one of my family's favorites. I frequently serve these enchiladas for company and social events and they are always a huge hit. They are mild flavored enchiladas in a white sauce. I serve them with sour cream and green or red chili sauce for anyone that wants a spicier flavor. I frequently substitute 4-5 chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken - they cook faster and are easier to work with. (you need to yield 4-5 cups shredded chicken). To save time, cook the chicken ahead of time and refrigerate it so that it's cooled and ready to go when you put the casserole together.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 9x13 pan, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole chicken, cooked and shredded
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
2 (4 1/2 ounce) cans diced green chilies, undrained
2 (4 1/2 ounce) cans sliced mushrooms, drained
1 (6 ounce) can black olives, drained and sliced
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 lb cheddar cheese, shredded
12 -15 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Boil whole chicken in a large pot of water until cooked through (approx. 30 minutes). Remove from pot, cool and shred into small bite-size pieces. I frequently substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts (they cook faster and are easier to work with-boil chicken breast for approx 20 mins) - you'll need about 4-5 breasts (you want to yield about 4-5 cups).
  • In a medium bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, diced green chilies (do not drain), mushrooms (drained), olives (drained), and dried onions.
  • In a 9x13 pan sprayed with no-stick spray, layer as follows:.
  • Layer 1: layer the bottom of the pan with a single layer of tortillas. Tip: I fold and tear the tortillas in 1/2 so that they fit in the pan better. I also dip the tortillas into my soup mixture and coat them with sauce, skimming off the excess with my fingers. A thin layer of sauce on both sides of your tortillas will keep them soft while baking so that they do not dry out and become hard and chewy.
  • Layer 2: Spoon 1/2 of the soup mixture over the tortillas and spread to cover.
  • Layer 3: 1/2 of the shredded chicken pieces.
  • Layer 4: 1/2 of the cheddar cheese.
  • Repeat layers 1-4 above (still coat your second layer of tortillas with the soup mixture).
  • Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven 35-45 minutes, until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted.
  • Serve with sour cream and green or red chili sauce, if desired.

Tips:

  • For a creamier sauce, use a mixture of sour cream and cream cheese. Be sure to soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have any enchilada sauce on hand, you can make your own by simmering a can of diced tomatoes with some chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
  • For a spicier casserole, use a hotter enchilada sauce or add some diced jalapeños to the filling.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken in this recipe.
  • Be sure to top the casserole with plenty of cheese before baking it. This will help to create a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Chicken sour cream enchiladas casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
