This is a quick and simple Chicken Enchilada recipe. Don't remember where the original came from, as I have tweaked it over the years into this recipe.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 large onion (chopped)
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 (13 ounce) cans shredded chicken
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies
10 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese

Directions

1
Mix soup and sour cream and set aside.
2
Heat butter in medium saucepan.
3
Add onions and chili powder and cook until onions are tender.
4
Add the canned chicken and chilis and 3 tablespoons of the sauce mixture.
5
Spread 1/2 cup of the soup mixture into a 9x13 pan.
6
Spoon mixture into tortillas, roll up, and place (seam down) on top of the soup mixture.
7
Spread remaining sauce mixture on top, and cover with cheese.
8
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes -- or until cheese is bubbly and browning.
9
Suggestion: One can use chopped/shredded leftover chicken rather than canned chicken.
10
Suggestion: Serve with salsa and chips for a great meal!
11
Suggestion: This is a very forgiving dish. I have added black olives, used less chicken, doubled the sauce mixture, upped the spice factor, etc. You can easily tweak this recipe to your liking.

I've made enchilada's similar to this b/f and so knew this would go over with the fam. I did take your last suggestion about this being a very forgiving dish and did make a few additions/deletions. I omitted the onion and green chili's per families request. I did add 2 t.'s of cumin and 1 t. of seasoned salt. A really good and yummy filling meal. Made for ZaarStars!~

These were very good and easy. I took another reviewers idea and added a can of drained Rotel instead of just the chilies and added a can of chopped black olives. I roasted 4 chicken breasts and shredded them and I got 10 enchiladas, I had lots of sauce left because I used a large can of soup and 8 oz.of sour cream so I made a pan of cheese enchiladas for my chicken hating niece and she really enjoyed them too, I got 6 cheese enchiladas and the sauce ratio was perfect. Thanks for an easy, tasty recipe. Oh I did NOT heat the soups first I just blended everything in a bowl and it worked out fine. I also did not add the sauce to the bottom of the pan, my husband likes a tiny bite to his enchiladas so I always butter the dish and that way the bottom tortilla gets a little crisp. Thanks again!

This was really enjoyed by my whole family. I have to admit to not really wanting to cook tonight, but saw this recipe and figured I might as well try it today. It is extremely simple, hence the reason I chose to make it when I didn't want to cook and pretty quick. I made 1/2 a recipe of the dish and still have some for leftovers for later, which I really appreciate. I found myself a little low on the chicken measures, so I added a can of sliced mushrooms. I also added the chilies with tomatoes (Rotel) as my family likes those. If you add the mushrooms and leave out the tomatoes just adding the chilies, this seems to be quite similar to Chi Chi's Chicken Enchiladas which were my favorite thing to order when we used to go there. Thanks for another way I can get a tasty dinner on the table with minimal effort and in little time. =)
