Delicious white chicken enchiladas recipe recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, undrained
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • 1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin, and chili powder; cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, green chiles, and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth. Spread a thin layer of the soup mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Step 5: Warm tortillas slightly (microwave for 30 seconds or wrap in damp paper towels and heat), then fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture. Roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Step 6: Pour the remaining soup mixture over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For easier rolling, warm the tortillas until pliable, preventing them from cracking.
  • Leftover enchiladas can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
  • Reheat enchiladas in the oven covered with foil to prevent them from drying out, or microwave individual portions.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream for a fresh, flavorful finish.
