Chicken Enchiladas

"This is another of my favourite recipes that I make on special occasions. I have been requested to make these for potlucks and get-togethers. These are a nice change from the beef and I like the white sauce with this chicken version. It is a great way to use leftover chicken or turkey."

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • In a medium size saucepan, cook onion in margarine, until tender.
  • Stir in flour, then water and bouillon; cook and stir until thickened and bouillon are dissolved.
  • Remove from heat; add sour cream.
  • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups sauce, chicken, 1 cup cheese, chillies and cumin.
  • Soften tortillas according to package directions; place equal portions of chicken mixture on tortillas; roll up.

  1. I was just about to post this as one of our family's all-time favorite recipes. The only difference with my recipe is that I use a good chicken broth instead of water and bullion. I think using a good broth makes a world of difference on this recipe. I just boil my chicken for this recipe and use the broth I cooked the chicken in. YUMMMMM!!!! The other thing I do is dip each tortilla in the sauce before adding the chicken, cheese, chilies and cumin. The tortillas turn out WONDERFUL this way. A true family favorite, and a great OAMC recipe. I always make a double batch and seperate it into 3 pans- 1 to eat and 2 for the freezer. These are REALLY great enchiladas!
