Ingredients
- 3 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 bunch Chopped green onions
- 8 pieces Flour tortillas
- 15 ounces Canned enchilada sauce (red or green)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Stir until well mixed.
Step 6
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by spreading a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom.
Step 7
For roll-ups: Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture to the center of the tortilla and roll it tightly. Place the roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Step 8
For the 'or Not' option: Instead of rolling, layer the tortillas and chicken mixture in the dish like a lasagna, starting with tortillas, then the chicken mixture, and repeating. Finish with tortillas on top.
Step 9
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the roll-ups or layered casserole, spreading it evenly with a spoon.
Step 10
Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese on top for extra cheesiness, if desired.
Step 11
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to let the cheese brown slightly.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
