Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 10 pieces Flour tortillas
• 3 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 2 cups Enchilada sauce
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 4-ounce can Diced green chiles
• 1 tablespoon Chopped cilantro (optional for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional for garnish)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot over low heat, add cream cheese, sour cream, diced green chiles, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1 cup of the shredded Mexican blend cheese. Add half of the creamy mixture to the chicken and mix well.

Step 4

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.

Step 5

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring all are well-covered. Spread the remaining creamy mixture on top of the enchilada sauce.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese over the top of the enchiladas.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your deluxe chicken enchiladas!
