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

- 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
- Fire up your oven to 350F and grab a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- 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.
- Heat your corn tortillas in a skillet for 10-15 seconds on each side to make them pliable and prevent cracking.
- Spread ¼ cup of chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, then carefully roll into a tight cylinder.
- Arrange the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in your prepared baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly.
- Whisk together 1 can cream of chicken soup and ½ cup chicken broth until completely combined.
- Pour the creamy soup mixture evenly over the rolled enchiladas, covering every inch.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese across the top of the enchiladas.
- 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.
