Mexican Main Dishes Enchilada Recipes Chicken Angela's Awesome Enchiladas 4.7 (3,213) 2,228 Reviews 391 Photos The secret to these awesome chicken enchiladas is in the seasonings! I whipped these up on my own using ingredients I had on hand. Shredding the chicken is the most time-consuming step, but it's worth it in the end. Serve with sour cream and a side of Spanish rice. Give these babies a try!

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cut into chunks 1 ¼ cups sour cream 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup ¼ teaspoon chili powder 1 tablespoon butter 1 small onion, chopped 1 cup water 1 bunch green onions, chopped, divided 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained 1 (1.25 ounce) package mild taco seasoning mix 1 teaspoon lime juice ½ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon garlic powder 5 (12 inch) flour tortillas 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce 1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained Directions Place chicken into a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Remove from the pot and let sit until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Shred chicken with two forks. Combine sour cream, condensed soup, and chili powder in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and cover to keep warm. At the same time, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken, water, 1/2 of the green onions, green chiles, and taco seasoning; simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in lime juice, onion powder, and garlic powder; simmer for 10 more minutes. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir 1 cup soup mixture into the skillet with the chicken. Spread remaining soup mixture over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Fill each tortilla with 1/5 of the chicken mixture and about 5 tablespoons Cheddar cheese. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Roll tortillas around filling and place enchiladas, seam-side down, into the baking dish. Pour enchilada sauce over top and sprinkle with remaining Cheddar, remaining green onions, and olives. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.
