236 Reviews of Simply Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

From: Tootiejoy

On Jul 5, 2006

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.

    I was very skeptical when my husband decided to make this dish. However, first bite...was not impressed (must've been the sour cream taste?!) But by second bite I was hooked and wished that we had made more Thank you for sharing such a great recipe that we will making again and again!!! Since first trying this recipe, we have turned many of our friends onto this style of enchiladas, as we tend to make these when we have company. And then they ask for the recipe every single time! A little change I started doing to the dish, was adding refried beans inside along with the chicken, I felt it added a little something. I also started cooking the chicken in taco or fajita seasoning, whatever I had on hand. I really enjoyed the flavor a whole lot more! My girlfriend still thanks me for finding this recipe, they love it as much as we do!!

    This was nice for a quick and easy dinner, but I guess my family is one of the few who didn't really care for it. We thought it was kind of plain, with a strong sourcream taste. The addition of some spices and tomatoes to the chicken to give it a little more flavor would be nice. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

    There was a small Mexican restaurant that used to make this and they were my favorite. They didn't make it through Hurrican Ivan so I've been trying to find something similar. This hit the mark. We've made this several times and each time it's delish. The first time we made exactly as the recipe and it was wonderful. Although we've only managed to make 4 enchiladas. The second time we added a second can of green chilies and it was even better. Last night we made it and I realized I didn't have any chilies and so I added a couple slices of jalepenos and it was still good. Thank you for a fantasic recipe for a favorite of mine.

    Very good, I like the fact that no "cream of" soup is in this dish. I tossed some chicken breasts with salsa in the crockpot the day before to make this dish even easier to assemble. I used corn tortillas, and a mixture of pepper jack and colby cheese. After tasting the sauce, I added a bit of cumin and chili powder, next time I will add more green chilies. I was pleasantly surprized on how good this dish is. I ate way too much (thanks alot). This is a definate repeater for us!

    Oh my! My husband LOVES these!! He requests them every week! i cook my chicken in a crock pot for about 8 hours first-- then shred it. My husband likes them made with a little bit of jalapenos. I also add a little bit of chicken broth to the bottom of the greased dish-- prevents the bottom of the enchilada from getting "tough". I also add a bit more cheese since we like them cheesey!! Fantastic recipe-- thanks fro sharing!!

    These were very good, however I added a lot of chili powder and cumin to the chicken and sauce. I didn't have Mexican cheese and used sharp cheddar Much easier than other recipes I have and they taste just as good. I did freeze a batch and they didn't look very good, but they tasted great!

    These were wonderful and I was told by several people I should have doubled the recipe! I made it exactly as written except I made 1 1/2 the amount of sauce. I was blessed to find monterey jack in slices so it was ultra easy to prepare with one slice per enchilada and then covered the top of the enchiladas with a layer of slices. Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing!
