The BEST Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada Recipe. This dish is a favorite with my family and one that is on my menu often.
Nothing beats a simple dinner recipe. These Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas are so yummy even my kids asked for seconds.
How to make Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas:
Step one: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Then prepare a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Step two: Mix together cooked and shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, green chilis, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Remove ¾ cup and set aside. You will be using this to top your dish later.
Step three: Next you want to fill your tortillas. Place a few spoonfuls of chicken mixture in a soft taco and roll. Place each stuffed taco shell in your prepared casserole dish.
Step four: Now you can top your full casserole dish with the removed chicken mixer and then top with shredded cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and food is warm thought.
- Cooking tip: If you are using chicken from the refrigerator you might need more cooking time to warm your casserole. I used hot and freshly cooked chicken and my casserole was warmed in 15 minutes.
Step five: Serve topped with fresh diced cilantro.
Cooking Tip:
This recipe calls for cooked and shredded chicken. It's the perfect recipe for a rotisserie chicken.
You can also make your chicken ahead of time in the slow cooker so it's ready to use by dinner. Here is my simple recipe for all-purpose slow cooker chicken. I like to use this making batches of chicken for these types of meals.
