Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas with Melted Cheese Recipe

img 362 1

These are my all-time favorite enchiladas — simple to make, creamy, and full of flavor. I’m completely biased: I rarely try other recipes because I keep coming back to this one. It’s rich, cheesy, and comforting; my husband once ate three in one sitting. You’ll love them.

I’ll admit I made an exception once for Rachael Ray’s Cheese & Green Chili Enchiladas because they’re very similar to this recipe and just as good. These enchiladas are warm, gooey, and satisfying — a perfect weeknight dinner or potluck dish. Give them a try!

Yields7 to 8 Enchiladas

Ingredients

  • 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • ½ small onion, small diced & sautéed for 5 minutes in a little oil
  • 4 oz can diced green chiles
  • 3 oz canned medium pitted black olives, sliced (half of a 6 oz can)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • 13 oz can chicken breast in water, drained & shredded
  • Flour tortillas, white or wheat
  • Green onions, sliced

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, sautéed onion, diced green chiles, sliced olives, and ½ cup of each cheese (mozzarella and cheddar). Reserve the remaining cheese for topping. Divide the sauce mixture into two equal portions in separate bowls — one for the filling and one to spread on the bottom and top of the enchiladas.
  • Mix one portion of the sauce with the shredded chicken until well combined. Spoon the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly.
  • Lightly grease a rectangular glass baking dish. Spread half of the remaining sauce over the bottom of the dish. Arrange the rolled tortillas seam-side down on the sauce, then spread the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with the reserved cheese.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes to allow the cheese to brown slightly. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
