  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering your ingredients is like setting the stage for a culinary play, where each item plays a crucial role in creating something delicious.

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (store-bought rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped green chilies
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Feel free to swap out the Monterey Jack for cheddar if that’s what you have on hand. And if you’re in a pinch, canned chicken can substitute for fresh. Remember, home cooking is about making it work with what you’ve got.

Instructions

Cooking can sometimes feel like navigating a maze, but trust me, this path is straightforward and rewarding.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the garlic powder and onion powder, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken broth and continue to stir until well combined.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the sour cream and cream of chicken soup. Make sure the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Stir in the chopped green chilies and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  7. Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken and a sprinkle of cheese, then roll them up and place them seam-side down in the dish.
  8. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, making sure they are fully covered.
  9. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Garnish with cilantro if using, and serve hot.

Remember, cooking is about flexibility. If you find yourself without green chilies, a dash of hot sauce or some jalapeños can add a similar kick to your dish.
