CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH WHITE
SAUCE
 
2 whole chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 lb. Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1 (3 oz.) can (mild) chopped green chilies
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 pt. sour cream
1/2 lb. Cheddar cheese, grated
1 dozen flour tortillas

Toss together chicken, Jack cheese, and chilies. Mix together soup and sour cream. Heat salad oil in a fry pan over medium heat. Fry each tortilla very quickly on both sides (only to soften). Put about 1/4 cup of chicken filling in center. Add 1 tablespoon soup mixture. Fold sides in, then roll. Place, seam down, in oblong baking dish. Repeat with each tortilla. Spread the remainder of soup over all. Top with Cheddar cheese.

Bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes.

Chicken Enchiladas with White Sauce

 Jessica says:
The inside of the enchiladas were great! The outside was pretty bland. Next time I'll try a white cheese dip instead of the sour cream/soup mix.

It is way better if you mix everything together and then coat the bottom of the pan with the mix, put some inside the tortillas and then on top and top it with the cheese. we also added spanish rice. yummy!

I added salsa verde to the soup/sour cream mixture. It worked very well.

 Seth (Oregon) says:
A family favorite once I spiced it up.

- Replace the Monterey Jack with Pepper Jack.
- Use 3/4 lb. Pepper Jack with 1/4 lb. Cheddar on the inside and the remaining 1/4 lb. of each on top.
- Add an additional can of diced green chilies (and/or jalapenos) to the soup/sour cream.

For a hearty meal. Add refried beans and Spanish rice to the middle and use large burrito sized flour tortillas. 1 is a full meal for an adult.

I agree pepper Jack on the inside, and on top you use extra sharp cheddar instead of mild cheddar, You also through in some salsa mix with the chillies.

if you add salsa verde to the top it adds flavor and it is not so bland.

After reading several of the reviews, I changed the recipe a little. I used 1 can of nacho cheese soup and 1 can of cream of chicken soup. I also put some in the bottom of the baking dish before putting the totillas in. I made it today for a get together and everyone loved it.

 Frank (California) says:
I changed the recipe. I added an additional can of chilies. I also added six to eight drops of hot sauce, giving the sauce a real bite. The chilies, jack cheese, soup, and sour cream are still heated the same way. I use imitation crab instead of chicken. I spoon some of the sauce over the flaked crab warm the flour tortillas in the microwave, spoon in a tablespoon or two, roll and fold. When finished with all the flour tortillas I pour the remaining sauce over the folded tortillas, sprinkle Monterey Jack on top and back at 350°F for 15 to twenty minutes to milt the cheese. This is absolutely delicious.

I love this recipe, I altered it a little though and highly suggest using mushroom soup instead on the bottom and top of the enchilada's. As well I added STUFF AND SUCH (stuffing) in the filling, was soooo good!!! Happy cooking!!!

 Pam (Oregon) says:
I cook the chicken in green enchilada sauce and add 1 can of nacho cheese soup and a can of cream of chicken (Campbell's) plus 1-1/2-2 cans milk, then use the sour cream on top instead of mixed in.

 Joanne (Washington) says:
My family loves this. I modified a bit. I used fat free soup, and I used corn tortillas. I also used a four cheese blend (couldn't find just Jack cheese). This is a favorite. I look forward to the leftovers for lunch!

 Casey (Louisiana) says:
This was super easy and wonderful!!! At first I was a little worried about the mixture of the soup and sour cream but that is what made it so great! Will definately be making this again and soon!!

 Jessica (Iowa) says:
It is much better if you mix the chicken with all the 'soup' ingredients. I add spanish rice and black beans inside and then the mixture inside plus on top. Tasty!
 #162025
 Daniel (United States) says:
My family loves it try adding queso to the top and use the chicken mix on the bottom and in the tortillas we also like flour tortillas not corn different taste. I also replaces the green chillies with jalapeņos and added white pepper to the chick sour mixture give a pleasant kick. Be careful not add to much pepper taste makes the difference. All about preference. I'm sure you'll love this try it out.
