Creamy Chicken & Chile Enchiladas

This is a terrific recipe! Just made it for a party and got rave reviews. So simple and a great way to use left-over rotisserie chicken for us "empty nesters"! I buy a smoked or jalapeno rotisserie chicken, shred the remaining meat, and use in this recipe.

I made this recipe yesterday and it was fab..I did make a few changes. I used 1 (12 oz.) can of chunk chicken with a little of its broth, 1/4 c chopped onion, added 1 tbsp cilantro flakes and chopped 2 slices of pickled jalepenos with juice in with the chicken cream cheese mixture. I also used corn tortillas heated in microwave between damp paper towels about 50 sec.I prepared the whole recipe except adding cheese and let sit in refrigerator 8 hrs prior to cooking but not necessary. The cheese I used was a large package mix of Monterey jack and cheddar. I also cooked covered in foil and removed foil last 5 min. My family is still talking about this recipe, simply delicious! Can't wait to make it again..

These are sooo yummy!! My family loves them, dollop of sour cream on top, even better. We like to use green Tabasco sauce on them as an added zing!!

Really delicious. My only recommendation would be to cut down on the cream cheese (maybe about 3/4 a block) just because it is really rich and fattening. Otherwise, they are great. I always make them for special occasions.

Very delicious and super easy. I cooked 6 lbs of chicken thighs in the crock pot till the meat was falling apart the day before.

Then I took a medium sized skillet and eyeballed a pound of shredded chicken from the day before. I followed the recipe from there and it turned out great. Would make it again.

This is delicious! We used hamburger meat on half of the enchiladas, chicken on the other half. The whole family enjoyed it and I will definitely add this to my favorite list!

 Amanda (United States) says:
These are awesome! Everyone that I have made them for love them! But I prepare them a little differently. I put the raw chicken, cream cheese and green chilies in a Crockpot and cook it on high for5 or 6 hours. Then I shred the chicken before putting them in the tortillas. The rest I do the same. So yummy!
