Convenient Meets Homemade

These Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas are where convenient meets homemade. In less than 30 minutes, you have a piping hot, delicious meal that you’ll feel great about serving your family. They’re one of our favorite meals! My mom made this regularly for our family dinners growing up. It was one of those easy go-to meals that she would make on a weeknight–and now I know why! It’s so easy and delicious and I know everyone will love it!  It’s a guaranteed home run. I make it often (but probably not often enough, if you ask my kids!). It’s so good!

It’s also soooo easy. I’m all about convenience when it comes to dinner so I make these enchilada with the meat from a rotisserie chicken. Canned green chilis add zip, while sour cream and Monterey Jack cheese make it so, so creamy and delicious. Fresh cilantro adds the perfect final touch (learn how to get your cilantro squeaky clean). This is a dish the whole family will ask for again and again. My crew certainly does!

How to Make Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

First, preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Then fill each tortilla with some shredded chicken and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Roll up and put in the prepared baking dish, rolled side down.

Then, in a mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream, green chilies and chicken broth until smooth. Pour evenly over the rolled-up tortillas and top with remaining shredded cheese.

    1. Hi Mackenzie! Yes, plain greek yogurt is a great substitute for the sour cream in this recipe. Enjoy!

  1. If I’m doubling the recipe for a family of 6, do I need to use two baking dishes? Cook longer?

    1. Hi, Mackenzie! I would use two dishes so that everything heats properly! Hope that helps.

  2. Hi, I just found your recipe for Sour Cream Enchilades, can thes be frozen? If so do you freeze them before or after they are cooked?

    1. Hi Janet! They can be frozen before or after baking. Prepare it as usual, let cool completely, wrap the baking dish in plastic wrap and then foil before placing it in the freezer. I recommend letting it defrost overnight in the refrigerator before baking. You could also bake from frozen, leaving it covered with just foil for 30 minutes and then uncovered for another 15-20 minutes. Hope this helps! Enjoy!
