Creamy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas image

I adapted this from a recipe I saw on TV many years ago, which used egg and sour cream as the filling. This is a big family favourite, which is easily adapted by adjusting the heat of the enchilada sauce (I like to use Texas Red Enchilada Sauce #42094)

Time 55m

Yield 8 enchiladas, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

500 g chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
250 g sour cream
1/2 bunch coriander (about 1/4 cup) or 1/2 bunch cilantro, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 bunch chives, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
8 corn tortillas, warmed
200 ml enchilada sauce, warmed
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Fry the chicken breast pieces in a little olive oil and butter until almost cooked through. Put the chicken in a heatproof bowl to cool.
  • Once the chicken has cooled, add the chopped coriander and chives and the sour cream to the chicken and mix all together.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400°F.
  • Using a 9" x 13" oven dish, spoon a little enchilada sauce into the bottom of the dish.
  • Spoon a couple of tablespoons of chicken mix onto each tortilla and roll up, placing each rolled enchilada into the oven dish, seam side down.
  • Once the oven dish is full, pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top and then sprinkle generously with the shredded mozzarella.
  • Place the dish in the oven for 25-30 minutes until enchiladas are done.
