Chicken Enchiladas Suizas

"I found this recipe on the internet when I wanted to try making Chicken Enchiladas. I liked the idea of a cream based sauce rather than a tomato based sauce. The filling is so incredible that you can eat it cold right out of the bowl. My family loved it and I make this all the time now."

  • Cook onion and bell peppers until just soft, 5-8 minutes.
  • Transfer to large bowl.
  • Add chicken, cheddar cheese, green chiles, salsa, cilantro, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
  • Note: you can do this much a day ahead and store in the fridge. It's pretty tasty just as is without the rest of the recipe, but since you're making a special dinner, read on.

  1. Oh My Goodness! These were delishious!!! I have another recipee but it has tons of ingredients and costs a ton. This was easy, SO tasty, easy, filling... the kids loved it and so did my DH.I was sceptical about the mixture of cream and broth.. but it made a PERFECT sauce. I ended up with two pans in one oven so i did put in one at a time in broiler for 2 minutes to brown up the tops nice since they were sharing. But except for that followed to the word!
     
  2. This is an authentic and awesome casserole! Keep this recipe handy for spare of the moment guest...they will be impressed!
     
  3. Oh Wow!! There’s only been a few times I’ve made enchiladas and these are amazing and made me feel so proud. :-) I had read the great comments of the author and that inspired me to make them. My daughter-in-law, who doesn’t usually like enchiladas, loved these. They were a real hit. The only thing I added was turning the broiler on just to add a little color and crispness to the tops for the last few minutes. Next time I’ll set a timer though for broiler, I almost lost the tops due to charring, but thankfully pulled them out in time. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!! Oh, one more thing...I didn’t have chicken breasts handy, so I used chicken thighs instead. :-)
