This recipe came from some good friends of ours at church. They had told me how quick and easy they were and the first time I tried them, we all loved them. So simple to put together and they are super flavorful. If you and your family like Mexican food - this one is a must try. Make some Spanish rice, beans or a corn casserole on the side and you will have yourself one yummy dinner! Don't forget the sour cream for topping - you can't eat Mexican without it as far as I'm concerned!
Chicken Enchiladas
2 Cans (3 if you like a lot of meat) of Chicken breast in water (drained well)
1 can of green Chiles (drain any excess juice)
1 Can of Rotel w/Lime Juice & Cilantro (drain)
1 can Cream of Chicken (I use the 98% fat-free and it tastes the same)
8 oz of Velveeta (cube)
2 Cups of shredded cheese
3 Cloves of of garlic, minced
1 10 Count soft taco size tortillas
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
Butter
Saute Olive Oil, Garlic, & chicken until chicken is warm and pretty much shredded.
Add Green Chiiles, Rotel, Cream of Chicken, & velveeta and stir until warm and Velveeta is melted.
In a 13x9 casserole dish, butter bottom of dish thoroughly
Place a tortilla in the dish and add mixture to middle
Roll tortilla in butter and push to end of dish
Repeat. It should make about 8-9 enchiladas.
You may have to keep re-buttering the dish to keep the tortillas soft when they cook
I put any extra filling on top of the enchiladas and put shredded cheddar cheese on top of that.
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

I make a mean green chicken enchalada, I use diced green chilies, pulled chicken and a block of 1/3 less fat cream cheese...(heat in the skillet)
ReplyDeleteThen roll the mix in tortillias, bake for 10 minutes, cover with green enchalada sauce and then bake for another 10 minutes, take out cover in cheese and serve! YUMMM...
