I have a few different recipes that I have used for chicken enchilada’s. Most of them have cream of chicken soup involved. This one does NOT, which is exciting and a reason to try it out!
You are going to need some chicken. There are so many different options for this. I tossed some in the oven for a bit and then found a kid to chop it up for me.
Can you believe that this “kid” is my oldest? He grew! I swear he looks like a man and I am not sure when that happened or that I like it very much. He is also taller than me, by a good few inches. He REALLY likes that!
O.K. back to the chicken. You can pull the meat off a rotisserie chicken, use canned, leftover from the grill, you name it, just chop it up!
Next, take some flour tortillas, and add about 1-2 T of chicken and about 1/4 or so cheese to each one. Roll them up tight and arrange in a 9×13. The recipe is for 1 dish, I make 2 because we like to eat! I sprinkled a little cheese on top.
Now, you make the white sauce with green chilies to go over the top.
Pour it all over. I topped with some cheese, green onions and black olives.
Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas with Green Chili & Sour Cream Sauce
These are the products that I use when making this dish:
- Cuisinart 9×13 insulated baking pan Nonstick.
- Aroma 10 cup cooked, 20 cup Digital rice cooker
- Cuisinart Grill Pan Nonstick 12 inch

charlene at myfrugaladventures gave us a tip to shredd the chicken in your kitchenaid mixer i did it for her shredded chicken tacos recioe it was great worked like a charm who knew! but dont leave it to shred to long it will chop it up after while.
I was in your neighborhood I should of stopped for dinner this sounds YUMMY
I’ll have to make this as I’m trying to phase “cream of” soups out of our storage. I have some Zaycon chicken from the first group buy that I canned up that I may make this with. Kim sh is right, using the kitchen aide to shred chicken is like the BEST Pinterest tip ever. I was going to sell my KA after Dan got me a Bosch but I changed my mind. The KA now sits in my food storage room for the couple times a month that I shred chicken.
I was going to let you know that I made your taco salad the other day when our stove was broken. I used ground beef and beans that I had canned a while ago (just nuked them) and it turned out so yummy! Dan told me it was just like the one that Karen makes.
Anyway, thanks for posting these yummy recipes. You’ve figured out what I’m fixing for dinner.
So shredding the chicken in a KA..you just use the regular mixing attachment? (hate to sound stupid but I don’t want to ruin my chicken!)
Yes, just use the regular attachment. The paddle one.
Thanks for the tip on shredding the chicken in a KitchenAid. Who knew?! This is one of my least my favorite jobs- right up there with emptying the dishwasher! Anyway, I made this recipe yesterday and froze it to take to the beach this weekend. It smells soooo good- can’t wait to taste it!
I made this tonight and it was a hit! I’m going to add some chopped onions next time, not sure what I could have done wrong but my sauce came out a little soupy?? It did appear to thicken up a little after sitting out for a few minutes. I am a huge fan of your blog, and I LOVE your recipes anxiously looking forward to your next food post
oh, and I have YET to try the snickers brownie though I’m dying to try it lol
I made this last summer and froze it to take to the beach for an easy dinner. It froze beautifully and everyone gobbled it down! Best of all, we had a great meal after a long day at the beach, and all I did was throw it in the oven. Fabulous!
You can also put cooked ground beef in our kitchen aid to get a finer texture. The extra step make s a huge difference.
I made this recipe today and my kids loved it (me too). We added some chili powder to the chicken and cheese inside the tortillas and I added a can of rotel instead of just green chilies. We like our food spicier here. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
