Description

A delicious and easy recipe for white chicken enchiladas that you will love.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Stir in green chilies, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  5. Shred the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  6. Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  7. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas and place seam-side down in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Pour any remaining chicken mixture over the enchiladas.
  9. Sprinkle with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier enchilada, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.
  • If you don’t have cream of chicken soup, you can substitute with cream of mushroom soup.
