Chicken Enchiladas with Sour Cream White Sauce
Elevate your dinner game with this creamy, comforting recipe for Chicken Enchiladas topped with a rich sour cream white sauce. This dish combines tender chicken, melty cheese, and a tangy sauce, wrapped in soft tortillas and baked to perfection. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 10 flour tortillas: They’ll hold all your delicious fillings.
- 16 ounces sour cream: This will form the base of your creamy sauce.
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup: Adds depth and creaminess.
- 4 ounces canned diced green chiles: For a hint of heat and flavor.
- 5 cups cooked chicken, shredded: The star filling of your enchiladas.
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese: Melts beautifully for gooey goodness.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: Adds a sharp, cheesy flavor.
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare for Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Soften the tortillas in the warm oven for a few minutes—this makes them easier to roll without tearing.
- Mix the sauce: In a bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and diced green chiles until smooth.
Step 2: Assemble the Enchiladas
- Fill the tortillas: Lay out each tortilla and spread ½ cup of shredded chicken down the center. Add 2 tablespoons of the sour cream mixture and a generous sprinkle of Monterey Jack cheese on top.
- Roll them up: Carefully roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled and arranged in the dish.
Step 3: Bake
- Top it off: Pour the remaining sour cream sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack and all of the cheddar cheese on top.
- Cover and bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve these heavenly chicken enchiladas hot, perhaps with a side of guacamole, salsa, and some crisp green salad. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or a comforting weekend meal. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness with every bite!
