Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

Provided by crestfallen

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup butter, melted
1 ½ pounds bone-in chicken breasts
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon salt
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 ½ cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
¾ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rub melted butter onto the chicken breasts and place in a baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 55 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • While the chicken is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chile peppers, sugar, cumin, chili powder, oregano, basil, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Remove chicken from the oven. Remove and discard skin and bones. Cut meat into 12 strips. Keep oven on.
  • Dip a tortilla into the tomato sauce to soften. Place 1 piece of chicken and about 2 tablespoons Monterey Jack cheese in the center of the tortilla. Roll and place, seam-side down, in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken, and cheese.
  • Stir sour cream into the remaining tomato sauce; pour over enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and cover with aluminum foil or a lid.
  • Bake until heated through, about 45 minutes.

Wonderful, lighter, flavorful, family-friendly, easy recipe. I "stole" this recipe from Liz Papa. This recipe has stood the test of time, and I have modified it (modifications listed after ingredient) to decrease the preparation time, and lessen the fat/calories, while not sacrificing any flavor! It is a family and friend favorite! I usually double this recipe. Freezes and re-heats perfectly! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: These are the most common type of chicken used in sour cream chicken enchiladas. For a more flavorful dish, consider using chicken thighs instead.
  • Sour cream: This is the key ingredient that gives the enchiladas their creamy, tangy flavor. Be sure to use full-fat sour cream for the best results.
  • Cheese: A combination of Mexican cheese blend and cream cheese is typically used in sour cream chicken enchiladas. However, you can use any type of cheese that you like.
  • Enchilada sauce: You can use store-bought or homemade enchilada sauce. If you are using store-bought sauce, be sure to choose one that is medium or mild in heat.
  • Tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for sour cream chicken enchiladas. However, you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer.
  • Toppings: Sour cream chicken enchiladas are typically topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. You can also add other toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo.
