Simply Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

Easy to assemble, deliciously creamy, and a great choice for once-a-month cooking. And there is NO canned cream soup in my enchiladas — Hope you give them a try!

This is just delicious! Our whole family loved it. The only addition I made was to sprinkle some homemade taco seasoning on the chicken when it was done frying. My husband thinks everything need taco seasoning or it is too bland Thanks for sharing this one!

    My family loved this recipe ! I made it with the cumin and chili powder and I also used lite sour cream and half regular cheese and half reduced fat cheese and high fiber tortillas to cut down on the fat and calories. I will make this again

    These were good chicken enchiladas. I love the creamy sauce! I did make a few changes. I added 1 tsp. cumin and 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder to the chicken & onion mixture as well as a little salt & pepper. They were very yummy! Thank you!

    Good stuff!! Probably didn't add a whole onion with chicken, but I added a can of rotel and some pace in the white sauce in the end. So it probably evened out. Otherwise made as written. I wanted just a little more heat. It was just a tad spicy, just the way I like it. I think that it was better than many restaurants. It was also very fast to prepare. I cooked it about 25 minutes. Will be making again soon.
