Speedy White Chicken Enchiladas

Submitted by iewe7726

"This is a quick and simple Chicken Enchilada recipe. Don't remember where the original came from, as I have tweaked it over the years into this recipe."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
• 3⁄4 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
• 1 large onion (chopped)
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 (13 ounce) cans shredded chicken
• 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies
• 10 flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheese

directions

1. Mix soup and sour cream and set aside.
2. Heat butter in medium saucepan.
3. Add onions and chili powder and cook until onions are tender.
4. Add the canned chicken and chilis and 3 tablespoons of the sauce mixture.
5. Spread 1/2 cup of the soup mixture into a 9x13 pan.
6. Spoon mixture into tortillas, roll up, and place (seam down) on top of the soup mixture.
7. Spread remaining sauce mixture on top, and cover with cheese.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes -- or until cheese is bubbly and browning.
9. Suggestion: One can use chopped/shredded leftover chicken rather than canned chicken.
10. Suggestion: Serve with salsa and chips for a great meal!
11. Suggestion: This is a very forgiving dish. I have added black olives, used less chicken, doubled the sauce mixture, upped the spice factor, etc. You can easily tweak this recipe to your liking.

I haven't made enchiladas in years - this was so easy and so worth it! I made half the recipe and it easily served three of us. I did add a some frozen corn and colored bell peppers. Sprinkled with cayenne pepper which gave it a pretty color and nice little kick. We all loved it.

I've made enchilada's similar to this b/f and so knew this would go over with the fam. I did take your last suggestion about this being a very forgiving dish and did make a few additions/deletions. I omitted the onion and green chili's per families request. I did add 2 t.'s of cumin and 1 t. of seasoned salt. A really good and yummy filling meal. Made for ZaarStars!~

Before getting on with this review, this is the second recipe that I have tried from iewe. And just like the first one, this one is also a " KEEPER ".Now on with the review, I made this recipe on 8/7/11 for the " Stop and Color " Event in the Food Photo Forum.Except for cutting the recipe in half,this was made as it was written and I used leftover shredded chicken.The baking time was " RIGHT ON ".And for a bit of color I did add some diced tomato to my plated portion.<br/>Both my SO and I thought it was very good. Thanks for posting a recipe that will surely be a repeat at our home. " Keep Smiling :) "
