- ½ cup diced green chilies

Instructions
- Heat the oven to a precise 350F, ensuring your kitchen is ready for a comforting meal.
- Blend 2 cups of shredded chicken with 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup cream of chicken soup, ½ cup green chilies, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Warm your 8 flour tortillas slightly to make them more pliable for rolling.
- Spread 3-4 tablespoons of chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, then carefully roll them into tight cylinders.
- Brush a 9×13 inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange your rolled enchiladas seam-side down in the prepared dish, nestling them snugly next to each other.
- Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly across the surface of the rolled tortillas.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 25-30 minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden around the edges.
Notes
- Swap corn tortillas for flour tortillas if corn doesn’t suit your taste preference.
- Shred rotisserie chicken for a faster prep and deeper flavor boost.
- Add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top after baking for a bright, herbal finish.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat sour cream and reduced-fat cheese without losing the creamy texture.
