Easiest Chicken Enchiladas

"Found this recipe in a 'Quick Cooking' and made a few adaptions to suit my tastes and make it a little less time consuming. It reminds me of a dish at a local Mexican restaurant (enchilada de monterray). Very yummy!"

  1. Wonderful. Creamy, cheesy, easy, quick and tastes SO good. We loved this. I was a bit concerned that this might be too spicy for my mild son, but not at all. The cheese helps contol the spiceyness. We put some guacomole on the top to serve, side of chips and we were set. THANKS CBW!!!!
     
  2. I've been making this many, many times since 2008 & just realized I never gave it a review. This is the best and so easy! Satisfies our craving for Mexican food. If there are any leftovers, I freeze in small portions for lunches. I use rotisserie chicken pulled from the bone.
     
  3. I have made this recipe at least 5 times now, and it has completely obliterated my old recipe. I think if I went back to the old ways, there would be a revolt! Thanks so much! :)
     
  4. Wow Thank you for posting this!!! I had lost my copy of "Quick Cooking" with this recipe in it and I have been so bummed. This is the only Mexican style dish that I can get my 12 yo to eat, Very quick to make and is absolutly delicious!
     
  5. This was just the fix I was craving. I too used Shredded Chicken for Enchiladas from JT's mom and it was just fantastic. A people pleaser! Looking forward to making it again.

  1. I can't leave a recipe alone not that this needed changes I just can't stop myself! I added diced green chilies instead of rotel (didn't have any) low fat soup, and fat free sour cream (1 cup) plus about 1/3 c light sour cream ( it was a little to soup tasting to me) I also added garlic to my chicken when I cooked it out of habit. Threw in a handful of green onions and yummmmmmm.
     
  2. I picked this recipe for a quick make-ahead dinner. I used corn tortillas instead of flour and light sour cream. This is an easy and delicious dinner idea.
