Chicken Enchiladas

Mmm…Can you say comfort food?  Growing up, my mother always prepared this dish, and it is a family favorite for sure.  It’s often picked when a birthday child gets to request a meal for their birthday dinner!   These enchiladas are perfectly cheesy, not spicy (just right for the mild tongue), and are very creamy.  If you want something a bit spicier, just top them with salsa or hot sauce and that’ll do the trick.

The recipe usually can make a very full 9X13 pan, but if you use more chicken, then it can make an additional half pan!  This also makes a good freezer/refrigerator meal.

  1. These are pretty similar to a recipe I use, but I use a can of green chiles instead of the sauce. One of my favorite meals! P.S. I have made these so many times that I have found it is easier to mix some of the sauce with the chicken instead of pouring it.

    • Oh that’s a good idea! I definitely like your idea of mixing in the sauce with the chicken – that would be a lot more efficient for sure! Thanks for sharing with me :)
