    The BEST Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada Recipe. Packed with chicken, cheese and sour cream this delicious dinner will become a family favorite.

    Nothing beats a simple dinner recipe. These Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas are so yummy even my kids asked for seconds.

    They are a perfect dinner recipe and are just as good as leftovers! I serve mine with my favorite Mexican Rice and some veggies!

    How to make Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas:

    This dinner recipe is very easy to make! I always like to have cooked chicken breasts ready so I can make a casserole or any dinner most nights of the week.

    I'll even use a rotisserie chicken for this recipe if I do not want to spend the time cooking some chicken breasts.

    Mix all your ingredients together, and then fill you tortillas. Top with the shredded cheese and then bake!

    Ingredients:

    • Soft Taco Shells or Tortillas - I used medium sized ones.
    • Chicken Breast - boneless and skinless, cooked and shredded. Here is my recipe for All-Purpose Chicken Breasts.
    • Cream of Chicken Soup
    • Green Chilies - canned
    • Sour Cream
    • Salt and Pepper
    • Colby Jack Cheese - shredded

    ingredients for sour cream enchiladas

    Directions:

    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 the 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.
