Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 10 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese

Sauce and Creamy Elements:

  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth

Seasonings:

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Fire up your oven to 350F and grab a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Combine 2 cups shredded chicken, 1 cup cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder in a mixing bowl. Blend until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat your corn tortillas in a skillet for 10-15 seconds on each side to make them pliable and prevent cracking.
  4. Spread ¼ cup of chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, then carefully roll into a tight cylinder.
  5. Arrange the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in your prepared baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly.
  6. Whisk together 1 can cream of chicken soup and ½ cup chicken broth until completely combined.
  7. Pour the creamy soup mixture evenly over the rolled enchiladas, covering every inch.
  8. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese across the top of the enchiladas.
  9. Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges turn golden brown.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling texture.
  • Warm tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave to prevent cracking when rolling.
  • For a lighter version, swap full-fat ingredients with low-fat cream cheese, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Swap chicken with shredded turkey or rotisserie chicken for a quick time-saving alternative.
